Comments by WinXP can cause higher res display my monitor?

I did only 20 "(1680 x 1050) displays connected to the MacPro running Fusion 3.0.1 but I want to test an application in my Windows XP guest who wants to have a bigger screen."  How can I configure my guest to be higher than my physical screen display for example 1920 x 1200?  I know I've seen invited Linux have higher res displays and they appear nice and scaling down in vmware, but my Windows XP screen of the guest takes the dimensions of my vmware window and always displays pixels one for one.

The image of the Virtual Machine window below was taken with grab and is 665 x 460 pixels (the actual size of the virtual machine window) but in the Windows XP prompt resolution is 1920 x 1200 and I turned on the magnifying glass, so I could show you the display settings dialog box showing you a higher resolution and a native resolution of my MacBook Pro is only 1440 x 900.  I was able to accomplish this by adding the following lines to the configuration of the Virtual Machine's .vmx file and the virtual machine must be stopped, not suspended, and merger closed when you edit the .vmx config file.

monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = "TRUE"
monitor.virtual_exec = "hardware"

Note that you will not use some of the VMware tools works with these parameters added to the configuration of the file but it will lead to a higher resolution then the native resolution of the host and the Virtual Machine window.

Now if you can work in mode full screen, then you should be able to achieve a higher resolution without adding these parameters, but I got the impression that you wanted it windowed so why the information presented.

Where is the .vmx file search the help file for VMware Virtual Machine package or seek to collect Information for VMware Fusion

Note that the status bar in the picture says that VMware Tools is not installed, but they are, and this message is a result of adding two parameters don't try so not install VMware Tools because the message is misleading in this use case.

    Apple "final cut pro 7", high res Pro 422lt 1920 x 1080 (odd) clips, is this gradual?, no sequence definition 1080 progressive

    How can I make sure that I have the best setting of the timeline for my clips. I did all the settings of Mount clips but there is no progressive setting for 1080 p. Images originally dslr Nikon that I used mpeg streamclip to convert to prores. Thanks for your help!

    The frame for you size source of material is HDTV 1080i (16:9). That only sets the size of the image, not the domination of the field, it's what makes progressive or interlaced. The reason it's labels with the 'i' is that when FCP7 was abandoned by Apple, they have never updated the software in order to take account of 1080 p contents.

    To make your progressive sequence, set the dominant field to None.

    In your screenshot of the properties of the element for your clip to the source, the material is interlaced. At the original camera file interlaced or progressive?

    Also, the fps footage was actually 30 original and 29.97 not standard?  30 images/s is very limited its use.

  • Broken LCD - can not get external display

    My screen is no longer good so im trying to connect an external display.

    Been trying for hours to try to get the external display to work to boot.

    Ive tried 2 sets of hd and svga cables change everything. The function key.

    The laptop does not recognize the display, but seems to go in something or powersave mode.

    The only way I can get the external display to work is if I remove the battery and wait a bit and then power

    the display works with a notice on the screen that the cmos will reset to default settings then restarts

    and back to where I was once again... IM thinking that it something in the bios that is the cause.

    I thank you and hope I can understand this.

  • Stuck in low resolution, 640 x 480. I can't change the display resolution

    HP Pavlion p7 - 1247c. I'm stuck at 640 x 480. I can get to the resolution setting change, but the display setting is grayed out so I'm stuck at 640 x 480. I can boot into safe mode and I can't change resolution while in mode without failure, but not when I boot normally. I tried a system restore how it was first delivered to me. I can't complete the initial installation, because I'm in 640 x 480 and I can't see or click on the button continue because it's off the screen.  I found there a boot at low resolution option which is where I seem to be stuck. I can't find a way to disable the start-up at low resolution. In addition, it seems that initial Setup requires a wide aspect ration monitor. This does not work with my old monitor who will be 1280 x 1024, but is stuck at 640 x 480.

    Looks like I finally figured it was the DVI cable that shipped with the computer. I swapped the cable with another computer and now it works.

    I guess I should be happy to have solved the problem, but I'm not. Perhaps because the solution was too simple and it took me so long to try it.

    I delivered the computer back to HP for no reason, they replaced the motherboard for no reason. I lost a lot of my time for no reason. I lost the time of four different technical support.

    I think the real reason I tried swapping the cable is the last tech support guy said that he would not be the cable. This proves just that sometimes it's the easiest part of the whole system that can cause the most problems.

    If one HP had shipped a good cable in the first place.  :-(

  • When a photo has for example a bright sky beside the dark object, using lights and shadows can cause a 'halo' or double edge to appear. How can I avoid this?

    When a photo for example has a bright sky next to the dark object, using lights and shadows to reduce high contrast can cause a 'halo' or double-edge to appear. How can I avoid this?

    From my experience, this isn't a problem that has a simple solution, such as moving a slider or a combination of the sliders in LR. It requires rather a major change in the technique, at the unit or in office. Some pros (I am not one) tire ALWAYS support HDR or this reason - better transition from highlights to shadows, then tweak the image with much less "heavy" necessary. Another popular technique is the luminosity masking and blending in PS. There is a ton of information on this topic (just do a search on Youtube), but it's not easy to learn or do, but it can eliminate this problem.

  • NB550D-111 - can't change the display resolution after installing Win7 Pro

    Hi guys,.

    After you install a clean install of Windows 7 Professional I can't get resolution, more than 800 x 600.
    I went to the section of the driver and installed the good display driver for my NB550D-111: version 8.812.2.2 of the displaydriver.

    After a reboot, still nothing happens and I can't change the resolution.
    Trying to open the Catalyst Control Center results in nothing: I can't seem to open it.

    I spent hours and hours trying to solve this problem, but need help at the moment.

    See you soon,.

    Tim

    NB550D-111 has AMD HD graphics card 6250 and the same Satellite C660D (PSC1YE) or Satellite L775D (PSK5PE) then you can try using the display drivers for these laptops.

    I n t have experience with NBs and cannot confirm this will help, but you can try it and send feedback.

    In addition the RadixBase property, there is no available on RadixNumericTextBox member to customize the display of the formatted value. However, you can override the FormatValue method to provide a custom formatting logic:

  • C: drive turned into raw and now I can't see file display options etc on my computer.

    Original title: instability of the system.

    I have xp s3. I had trouble with my main drive lately. Previously, I had my shot raw c drive and I can either logon in safe mode. I used checkdisk by my slave hard drive someone to another disk and it comes back with a few interface problems. Yet once the obtained c drive turned into raw and now I can't see file display options etc on my computer. I tried to use to start the system restore but not its use before and now. I have avira for antivirus and Registry Mechanic only. Is there a way I can fix my windows without formatting evrything?

    Hi Windflash,

    I had a similar problem also and it turns out that the hard drive is dead. You can probably do is to connect the hard drive to a working another computer & use data recovery tools to recover files from it but usability will always be a question.

    Data recovery is an another stressful job as for me it took 3 days to recover data to a 500 GB drive.

    After which I tried to format it own it but has not as well so I poured the reader.

    You can try my snack suggestions if your drive starts to work again I strictly recommend you to use it as a primary drive.

    Let me know if it helps.
