===================================
Your description sounds like it may be possible
as your display properties / appearance settings
have been changed. To access these settings...
Right-click on an empty area of your desktop and
the Menu... Choose... Properties / appearance tab.

For example... on my XP system... I select...

Under... Windows and buttons...
Windows Classic Style
Under... Color scheme... I select...

Do a restore of the system in Mode safe for a time
before the problem started, may be worth a try.

FWIW... When you run the security system restore
Mode, the operation cannot be cancelled but you
Once again restore and choose a different restore
point if there is a.

    It's normal. To activate it, you use telephone activation. It's free in most countries. See this link from my Web site: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/product_key_already_in_use.htm

  • U2715H - Windows automatically resized when the screen turns off then turn it back on

    • Windows 8.1 Pro
    • 1 single monitor connected to the PC
    • native resolution 2650 x 1440 at 60 Hz the value
    • through CDM of the monitor to the RFP the ti EVGA 750 SC (cable Dell)
    • all drivers updated on 28/12/15

    I just bought this monitor and I noticed this strange behavior. Whenever I have turn off the monitor (or it will turn off by itself), if I didn't have a maximized window, all windows (regardless of size) gets automatically resized to fit in the left upper quadrant when the screen turns back on again.  If I had something full screen, this behavior does not occur.

    I find this very annoying. This behavior happened with my previous monitor, which was only 1080 x 1200.

    I was unable to find any setting for the U2715H disable this "feature". This isn't because EasyArrange from Dell. I do not use this feature. And this always happens with Display Manager not installed.

    Is it just a 'feature' of Dell U2715H? Is responsible for Windows? Help, please.

    TIA

    There was no pilot or changes to the hardware of my first post.  BTW, my monitor is a Rev A02.

    A few days after my previous message, another question emerged.  Monitor flash intermittently ON / OFF every few seconds.  I unplugged/replugged the cable CDM - DP and that seems to fix things... until the next day.  This time, I nothing could fix the random rotation power SWITCH of the monitor.  Desperate, I decided to plug an old HDMI cable, I had to hang out.  Flashing problem has been resolved.  Not only this, using HDMI solved my original problem of auto resizing windows.

    The solution to my original problem: use an HDMI cable.  I went to the Dell CDM - DP cable and the problem has been resolved; no more windows resize automatically when the monitor turns off in sleep/towers.  I always get the native resolution at 60 Hz and there is no noticeable disadvantages to the use of the HDMI versus DP interface.  I've been using the HDMI cable for about a week and there is no other issue.

    Just for additional verification, I bought an Accell UltraAV DP - DP 1.2 cable (B142C-007 b-2), one of the few officially approved by VESA (see link below).  Using this cable does NOT my automatic window resizing problem original.  I do not use it long enough to see if they would prevent the random flashing question.

    I still don't know the exact cause of my original question.  I guess it's a driver problem with DisplayPort standard.  But if you do not need DP 1.2 functionality, I suggest that you just use your GPU HDMI output (if she has a).

  • At the beginning; After the Windows Logo at the start, the screen goes black and a POWER SAVE MODE comes up. I must stop button. I can run the computer as I am now in Mode safe mode with networking.

    When I turn on the computer of gateway, the machine starts and the initial window logo starts and runs for about five seconds.  Then the screen goes black instead of blue and stays black for about 10 seconds.  A 'Power SAVE MODE' appears.  The machine is dead to all orders.  I have to stop by pressing the off button.  I can turn back and the F10 key to get in Mode safe mode with networking.

    I tried to reinstall Windows XP original but it would erase my files.  I tried to restore the last good configuration also knowledge.  That did not work.

    The change came after a Windsows update.  I have McAfee security and I asked Windows but could not use due ot a conflict. -C' is all this bad start.  Clues?  I use Negear.  No change when I hooked directly either.

    Botton line, I can run in SafeMode with networking; but it is slow and I can't make alll I have to do.  What does not load Windows?

  • Change the resolution of the screen and the screen went black

    Then I tried to change the resolution of the screen and the screen went black.  I tried to restart, plug in my HDMI port on my TV... Nothing.  So I went with a system refresh (yes I'm sure it was a refresh and not a restore).

    The fact that there is no integrated procedure to detect the moment where that happens and return to the old resolution is annoying enough...  But now after that choose the system update and it would be only to reset the settings to default back and keep all the files (as he said it would be), I am extremely frustrated to know that it has deleted ALL my programs.  Program E-v-e-r-y.  This means that Chrome, Firefox, jGrasp, AutoCAD, all my programs Microsoft Office, all my Adobe stuff, my Visual Studio and so much more that I'm not naming.

    I REALLY hope there is a place where they were stored so I don't have to reinstall everything manually.  If not, then wow, Microsoft... We finished.

    Unfortunately a refresh as he said, only maintains personal records (program data), the data can be located in the "in the"Windows"folder windows.old folder normally C /: Drive, all modern apps should be kept."

    All programs of office/legacy (Chrome, Firefox, jGrasp, etc.) need to be relocated from their original sources

    Keep all of your programs, personal files (data), settings, the best option is to create a "Disk Image" - see link below for info.

    original title: "leakage" of windows

    It is a common problem with how XP displays the items on your screen. When things get a bit bogged down, you'll start to see trails of the window as you drag. Unfortunately, there is no solution, but future versions of Windows do not have this problem with a new rendering of the graphics system.
