Custom high resolution in Windows 7 clients?

I've used Windows 2000 guests in VMWare. But recently, I decided to update my guests to Windows 7. A bump in the road, it's that I was not able to create the same resolution of screen in Windows 7, as I had in Windows 2000. I want to have the 3200 x 1600 resolution.

In Windows 2000, I set the resolution maximum comments in VMWare to 1600 x 800 and the number of monitors to 2. I saw the number of monitors or anything inside the guest OS. I just saw a screen resolution bar that goes to 3200 x 1600. It was perfect!

No matter what I set the resolution of comments in VMWare to in Windows 7. I try to set to 1600 x 800 and the number of monitors to 2. But inside the guest OS I always get that one monitor can go up to 2560 x 1600 and the other monitor can go up to 1600 x 1200. These figures remain the same regardless of the values I put in VMWare!

I would like to have either:

-as I did in Windows 2000, a single bar of screen resolution that went all the way up to 3200 x 1200 (which was perfect). or

-two monitors with resolution screen maximum 1600 x 1600 (or four in 1600 x 800)

Is it possible to fix this? Is it possible to make the operating system of Windows 7 guest sensitive for the screen resolution setting that I put in VMWare?

SE host: Windows 7 Professional

Guest OS: Windows 7 Professional

VMWare Worstation version: 7.1.0

Processor: Q6600

Oh, OK.  I didn't know the resolution of your host was smaller.  I assumed that you had two 1600 x 1200 monitors on the host.

You can try to use the VMwareResolutionSet.exe (it comes with VMware Tools).  I think that the syntax should be something like:

0 1 0 0 3200 1200 VMwareResolutionSet.exe

(Notice the spaces around the comma).

  • CC of Photoshop on a screen high resolution on Windows 8.1

    I use a new Lenovo Yoga 2. The native resolution is 3200 x 1800. Most Windows applications use the scale to expand the menus and other aspects of their user interface. However, Photoshop CC is virtually unusable in this resolution because it does not honor the scaling. I have to put the resolution up to 1600 x 900 before launching Photoshop CC. Extremenly inconvenient.

    Does anyone else have this problem under Windows?

    Adobe has provided an answer in another thread on this forum this week that indicated that the problem is with the unavailability of Microsoft APIs necessary, and nothing to do with perceived favouritism Mac vs Windows.

    I recall, resolution independence code also partially exist very long in advance on Mac but was not fully usable for several versions of Mac OS X; apparently the implementation of screens Retina forced Apple to finally finish the job. So it was not a simple switch to throw on the side Mac either.

  • Display of high resolution - too small UI elements

    Just got a Toshiba KiraBook - one of the first Windows laptops with a display high-resolution "retina-type". It runs at a resolution of 2560 x 1440.  4.4 Lightroom works fine, but some UI elements are simply too small to this resolution is comfortable - even with my reading glasses on. I know that some type of support 'retina' has been added in LR 4.3 - for MacBook, at least. Not sure if this applies also to Windows? If so, is there a setting I need to change?

    My resolution of Windows system fonts is set to 165% - but it does not appear that LR uses this system across its interface setting. Any ideas?  Thank you...

    I'm not familiar with the operation in high resolution on Windows, but "Added support for Windows at 150% and 200% of resolution" was one of the new features on the list of the LR5 beta.

    The default resolution and "recommended" for my two monitors lenovo is 1920 x 1080. I have a new system and I tried for a few weeks now to something to work with screen resolution and third-party apps. I am under W7 Pro right now, but will soon be getting to 10.

    The high resolution is not a problem in 7 with any Microsoft stuff. With the help of a custom of the DPI setting takes care of all the native stuff. Some third-party applications can be set as well. For example, Corel Photo Paint X 7 has bars of detachable command with command icons that can be set to small, medium or large. When the size of the icon is changed, the size of the font adjusts accordingly and it is perfectly feasible, acknowledging the icons or by reading the text. It is perfect for this dual screen system and works like a charm.

    However, most of other software companies are not quite as respectful of their clients. Bryce, formerly owned by Corel, but now DAZ despicable, is not removable toolbars and there is no options available to adjust the sizes of icons in order. Even if preferences to provide an engaging, multiple monitor option not to release the toolbars or increase the font size. It only opens the Bryce "Labs" in the second monitor in a position at the end of the dialog box, half of the Cup.

    It also applies even in a top of the range of applications such as VIEW and Smith Micro, Poser Pro. They present menus and toolbar icons that are so tiny, it is necessary to use the Magnifier Microsoft to make and which isn't real solution when your work with graphics programs. It's incredibly awkward.

    My old system, running XP Pro, SP3, which I always put in place and operational, has a screen resolution of 1280 X 768, and it displays all the software of third party very well. If I try to use this resolution with W7 and these monitors high resolution, I get a crushed image down and half on the screen which is useless. I can read everything very well, but all images are short and fat! If it was possible to type values for the height and width, using an infinite scale rather than the fixed scale that is provided by the slider over, nicked in W7, it would be possible to find a combination that worked. Then, once the wreck was set for third party stuff, the custom DPI settings Windows could take care of the native stuff.

    I had an Oracle VirtualBox running for awhile and loaded the third of things out there and it worked for awhile but it did not offer the ability double screen and, in any case, after awhile it started to get really uptight and I finally just had to get rid of.

    Really, I would be much happier if I could just load XP Pro on this machine and do run as quickly as things that made to run on it. The only reason why I got a new system was the need for more speed and muscle. But if I can't use my favorite, applications worth it?

    Is there no workaround solution that will make it possible to adjust the resolution so that the third-party applications are fully functional using all the space on the screen?

    Thank you to everyone who takes the time to read and respond.

    Since no one answered I'll provide the solution myself. Doing right thing 'upgrade' to Windows 10 has this problem of resolution.

    Other than that, getting W10 to work even at halfway was a nightmare.

  • Suite incompatibility of screen high resolution - even with CC2015 and Windows 10

    So disappointed with the failure of Adobe to fix the incompatibility of fonts and menu icon in Photoshop for screens high resolution.  I have complained about this for two years (at the time of CS6) and groups of users across the web are filled with like complaints.

    Now, even with a new CC 2015 and 10 Windows, the problem is still not resolved.  The screen PS have either pt 7 labels on microscopic icons or 30% of the screen real estate is taken by the resolution of the user interface of 200% option.   I would give all the updates of CC 2015 for the solution to this problem which makes use of stressful and frustrating PS instead of pleasure, as it should be.

    There is nothing that talent Adobe cannot fix.  You can solve the problem, if you care about. Obviously, whatever your development systems, you don't live with this problem or you would have solved it.

    There is nothing you can do to 'up' the resolution. The video card and display will allow no more than 1024 x 600...

    Adobe didn't add features to manage screens high resolution until later versions. So a job is about just decrease the resolution in the settings of your operating system. I know it's a pain, but it works.

    I just installed a BenQ GW2765ht monitor with a resolution of 2560 x 1440.  In win 8.1, toolbars, etc text size are too small.  Is there a PS CC2014 parameter that will expand the text of the toolbar etc. while leaving the graphics window to the native resolution?

    Have you tried the preference CC 2014 that 2 X UI on your Photoshop machine it dimensionnera UI but always use image high resolution display for you.  It fits me like Photoshop UI running on a 1280 x 720 display, the user interface will be great, especially to fix a screen you put toolbar in column mode two it will fit.

  • Can I use still images high resolution in Keynote?

    Prepare a presentation in Keynote that requires a lot of photos/movies - it is to be broadcast from an international conference in the world.  So I don't want to spoil.

    I have some high resolution photos (the originals were RAW, I converted them to PNG).  I want to build my speech with the high-resolution PNG, or what I want to batch convert to JPEG before their insertion in the speech?  What would be an optimal size by peak.  There are probably about 100 stills or so, more than a dozen of short films (that's an hour and a half presentation I think).

    Or, if I don't use a high-resolution PNG (15-20 megs), is there a function in Keynote, which reduces the size of the files?

    And, if so, I'm better batch convert PNG to JPEG, or simply use the PNG and let Keynote optimization?

    For movies I'll all convert H264 (same resolution - 1920 x 1080 - Keynote presentation using the same optimal data rate that you would use for Vimeo).

    All ears,

    Ben

    Size of the images to match the slide size in Keynote;   in this case, they should be 1920 x 1080 pixels

    because they are PNG files keep than

    Convert a batch of images as follows:

    Open all of the batch of images in preview

    Select all the thumbnails in the sidebar - click on an image in the sidebar then (Command-A)

    on the Tools menu, choose Adjust size

    use the custom size and enter 1929 x 1080

    Save

    Place the images in Keynote, as follows: drag all the images in the browser (the sidebar on the left) and a new slide will be created for each image, centered and scaled to full screen

    If images are larger than the size of slide, they look better, they simply more space

    If the images are smaller than the size of slide, they will reduce in quality

  • Portege R930 - BSOD when connecting monitor high resolution with HDMI port

    Hello.

    I have a Portege R930 (pt331a-01w001) running Windows 7. All about the laptop works as expected, however, when I connect the laptop on a screen high resolution (2560 x 1440) via the HDMI port, I get a blue screen of death.
    Can I use the HDMI port to connect my 1080 p LCD TV and my monitor to work which is a lower resolution and it works well.

    I tried several cables and different monitors of the same resolution.

  • HP 6500 scan high resolution works well with the solution Center HP; but is solid black w/imgage software for editing

    I got an OfficeJet 6500.

    If I try to scan a picture at a very high resolution, using an image of image editing software will come out black.

    I can scan the image using the HP solutions, at the same high resolution Center, and the image will scan very well.

    I think there is a setting for the Windows operating system that needs to be adjusted. I know because I had this same problem once before.

    I found the solution to my problem. but my computer crashed and I had to reinstall the full Windows operating system. I lost the changes I had made. It was in January 2011.

    I don't remember when I had the answer to my problem but I thought that I asked the question in the HP forum (it would have been some time in late 2010) and then someone answered with the solution to my problem. But I can't find the post I did then.

    -My operating system is Windows 7, with a 64-bit operating system.

    -The processor is an Intel Celeron 2 .50GHz.

    I would appreciate any help someone can offer.

    Hello JimTrail

    After watching this on the web, it seems that you is maybe to something. From what I found, GIMP uses a lot of resources, especially true for larger images. He isn't able to handle the scanning of an image as large as 4800dpi without additional RAM or virtual memory to compensate for the RAM.

    My suggestion would be to increase the size to the recommended or higher. Out of curiosity how much physical RAM have you? Microsoft recommends that virtual memory for no more than 3 times the amount of RAM installed. See article: change the size of virtual memory.

    You can also see the article below on the Tile Cache GIMP.org.

  • Bad resolution on Windows 7 - Satellite P100-203

    Hello

    Since I installed the new Windows 7 (32 bit) on my Toshiba laptop, I has not yet managed to get a better resolution of the screen then 1024 * 768.
    I tread to install the necessary drivers windows 7 for my gforce go 7600 from the Toshiba Web site but that helped me to give me a higher resolution.
    It really hurts my eyes.

    Is there someone who may have a solution to this irritating problem?
    Thanks in advance,

    MH01

    Hello

    The question is whether the Device Manager contains a yellow exclamation point next to the graphics card. If there is no yellow exclamation point, this means that the driver is installed correctly and the lower resolution is not related to the missing driver.

    If there is a yellow mark exclamation then this means that you don't l l install the driver correctly.

    You can try to install the Toshiba page display driver, but don t, run the exe but cela in Device Manager.
    Use the Advanced Setup that allows you to point to the files in the driver downloaded from the driver page.

  • Beautiful images high resolution in photoshop look looking terribly pixelated when scaled down in movement 5... How can I avoid this?

    I'm working on a project with a customer logo and title... both are downloaded from the internet in high resolution and crisp and wonderful look in Photoshop. However, when I drop in my 1, 080 x 1, 080 5 movement project and adapts them to the size, they must be in animation, all this freshness becomes terribly pixelated.

    It looks like a problem of aliasing to me... the text generated by movement in my document looks great, so I guess that's not a draft too low resolution (1, 080 x 1, 080 seems high enough resolution for me!). I'm fairly new to Motion, so I feel like there's just something obvious that I forget... any help is appreciated!

    If the logos are available on the internet, please post a link to one or more of them, then we can see what the issue might be. The only way (in general) occurs in images pixelation is if the scale becomes higher than 100%. Which can happen even if you are down, but with the help of a camera view revision or position Z to make the image appear closer.

    Is there something else on the project involving a zoom, positioning, and/or put across?
