Cannot set the screen resolution to 64-bit on windows 7 64-bit edition.

So, I bought a laptop with windows 7 64 bit is installed. I rolled back my driver after a few months to fix a crash on a game I was playing. I'm running a nvidia geforce gtx 260 m. Under the nvidia Control Panel, I see I can use 32-bit resolution. I updated the driver and I checked the other updates. However, I can not yet use 64-bit color. How can I set it so I can use 64-bit?

Thanks in advance!

'64 bit,' in this context, describes your mother/CPU card and your
version of Windows.

"64-bit color," in this context, describes how many different colors
can be displayed. This is a * completely * different question of the
mother/CPU card and Windows version question above. The number of colors
that can be displayed depends on your video card and how much
memory, there is on this topic. If it has all video cards that can make 64-bit
color, I don't know of them. It would be a waste, in any case, since your
eyes could not distinguish that many colours. Still 32 bits
color can provide over 4 billion different colors.

You can not and not need to. There is no advantage to do so.

    If there is no graphics Vista drivers available for your model, nothing can be done about it.

    Change the screen resolution

    Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

    See you soon.

  • Cannot change the screen resolution. Help, please

    I recently reinstalled Windows XP (service Pack2) on my computer and restored the office to the factory settings. Now, the screen resolution is stuck at 640 x 480 and 16-bit color quality as this was not a problem before. The screen that appears under 'type of screen' in the advanced settings menu says "default monitor" and the properties button is not clickable. I tried to connect another monitor to the PC, but it doesn't help. Can someone help please I really need to change the resolution of the screen to a higher quality? Also, the PC has an internet connection if that makes a difference. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    ... What other drivers in addition to the graphics card and network card should I try to install?

    In fact, those who are newer than your current drivers.

    I understand your reasoning for installing the monitor driver, however, I'd personally chipset (motherboard), video, audio and network (LAN) first. After updating the video driver, there is a chance that it recognises so the screen correctly.

    I don't know if you have reinstalled Windows XP from floppy disks to install Windows or Dell installation/recovery disks or partition restore hidden, but nevertheless, the drivers that were installed during installation is as new as the installation media. Given that the media are at least 5 years and more (maybe 8 years and more), there is an excellent chance that all the material and device drivers have been updated.

    If you know the serial number or the Express Service Code on your machine, you can enter the page linked below and it should display all the downloads available for your computer. Otherwise, you may need to select one of the options under No., for example to choose from a list of all Dell products (it does not list a Dimension 1100/B110 that has many drivers/downloads available).

  • Portege Z30 - A - 18 M - cannot set the native resolution on the external display

    Hello

    I tried to connect two different displays full HD to my Portege Z30 - A - 18 M and I was unable to set the native resolution - maximum resolution I can put for those is 1680 x 1050... I was not so surprised by the first that I had a few problems with a native resolution when I connect to the laptop computer Satellite I had before. But then the same thing happened when I tried the other view.

    I thought that this notebook can handle a higher resolution external... Is there a way to force the native resolution of the external display in Windows 7?
    Thank you!

    Just a question: have you plugged your Portege with HDMI cable and use only the HDMI option?
    With other words went from the desktop to the external display only computer?

    I don't have this machine, but I think you should be able to see the desktop on an external device to the HD full 1920 x 1080 resolution.

    Hello

    Are you sure that the graphics card supports this high resolution!
    If all goes well it s not a material limitation

    But especially if the display resolution is not available the graphics card driver does not support this resolution of the screen.
    In this case only the new driver installation and usage help

    What graphics card is installed on your laptop? Graphic chip Intel?
    If you use an Intel graphics card, then I recommend to visit the Intel page and search for a compatible driver on this page. Some users here in the forum said that the Intel drivers could help choose the preferred resolution.

  • HPDM 4.6 SP2 - cannot change the screen resolution Options

    every time when I try to change the resolution of the screen via HPDM (task "Apply settings" or directly as a command in "Files and records"), I get the following errors:

    * task failed

    * command line error

    Original messages:

    I think that this problem is resolved. The version of the agent is ok, but the combination of resolution, depth and refresh was bad for our display. With the right value, it works.

  • Cannot set the screen stretched after playing game. HP Pavilion dv6000 Notebook.

    Hello

    Once a game my screen stayed tight, horizontally lying. Normally my screen is returned to normal after closing the game Rollercoaster Tycoon 3, but this time it somehow stuck or something. I checked the resolution: it's 1024 x 768 like it always was, so this isn't the problem. When I "Print screen", the image is quite normal on the other computers, so I think it may be the driver? Do I have to download Driver NVIDIA? I tried, but he says that the driver is not compatible with my hardware. I think I can find one that is compatible, but first I would like to know if this will fix my problem.

    Thank you

    Hello

    You're probably not using the correct resolution, IE: you use a display standard aspect ratio when you have a widescreen monitor. This can be corrected in the settings/personalize/display of the Control Panel, adjust the slider to resolution here.

  • Cannot change the screen resolution

    I recently had some problems with my computer that got me to do a full system restore and now my screen resolution is blocked as long as 640 X 480. I need to get it at 1280 X 768, but the box is grayed out and it wont let me change it. In addition, the monitor will identify only as 'Generic Non - PnP monitor'.

    As far as I can tell, I've updated everything, after the restore, but the problem still persists.
