Display settings are lost

Whenever the Windows Setup program is running, I restart the system, and sometimes when I go out to explore and iexplorer, the display settings on my computer are lost and come back on a blue background and no screen saver.  This has happened for the last month and I have no idea of what was processing when it began, since I am not the only user.  I use Windows XP SP3 and current with the updates.

  • Firefox Sync settings are lost when you restart the Android device, is this normal?

    I use Firefox Beta v14 for Android.

    After a restart of the Android device, synchronization settings are lost, nothing in the settings 'account and synchronization '.

    Sorry to hear that Firefox is losing your sync account. You have installed Firefox for Android onto an SD card? We are tracking the reports like yours to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=768102.

  • Windows display settings are not optimized

    Hello

    This fixit?

    Have you tried to make the resolution equal to the native resolution of your screen?

    Right-click on an empty part of your desktop, and then click Properties. Click on the settings tab, drag the slider to the right. This should give the native resolution of your monitor. If not you may need to get the latest drivers for the graphics card.

    If that makes things too small, you can try to slide to the left to get a lower resolution but I suggest using only a resolution that maintains the same ratio as the native resolution of your screen.

  • Runtime security settings are lost after deployment

    We develop Custom Webcenter framework the Portal Application.  And we have a requirement of creating pages on the time of execution and assigning of security to them on the time of execution using the admin screen.

    But if we undeploy and deploy the application, all the security settings made at run time are lost - or the creation of new roles, new pages of mapping to existing roles.

    We came to know of a workaround for the problem above, i.e. instead of undeploy and deploy, use to redeploy.  The concern is that in all cases if we do not have to the cancellation of the deployment, and to deploy the application, we will lose all the security information.

    Any suggestion for this problem?

    Thank you

    Nitika

    Hi simo.

    By default, when the generation of the WebCenter EAR file, it adds security settings to weblogic - application.xml in order to know what to do with policies on the deployment, re-deployment and Undeploying.

    These settings are from the properties of the Application (check boxes). However, the interface user of JDeveloper you cannot change its operation when the cancellation of the deployment of the application.

    The solution is to add to your weblogic - application.xml following the parameter after the front :

    
        jps.policystore.removal
        OFF
      
    

    What the EAR WebCenter file generation take a look inside to see all the application-settings associated with JP and roles.

    Official documentation on these parameters: manually configure Java EE Applications to use OPSS - 11 g Release 1 (11.1.1)

    If it does not just with the application-param then consider adding after the listener also:oracle.security.jps.wls.listeners.JpsApplicationLifecycleListener

    I hope that it solve your problem.

    Kind regards.

  • Display settings are not together

    I'm going to / the display of the control panel and set the parameters required/ie 1024/768 when I I point to my my virus program to activate "trendmicro" restore all settings? Thanks ahmida

    Hello

    I suggest you first activate the Trendmicro program and try to change the display.

    If above does not work, you can try to activate the Trendmicro program at boot and then try to change the display.

    Note: When you have finished troubleshooting, proceed as explained in the article to reset the computer to start as usual.

  • Monitor display settings are too big

    I went to the settings display and changed the settings of the monitor.  The display is now so important that I can't see my Start button, taskbar and icons on the desktop.  I can open the Explorer (because I accidentally found this icon) but if I have the minimize, I don't see the new window even when I use alt + ESC.  I can't start using the keyboard windows key.

    I can right click on the desktop and extract options view, refresh, etc.  but I can't click on properties and see the window which would normally come to the top.

    I also tried to turn the computer off and on and pressing F8 to get the computer to start in safe mode, nothing works.

    I can't view anything that I need to correct my error.

    I have a second monitor, I thought to hang, do not know if it works.

    Is there anything else I can try?

    Hello

    Right click on the desktop and the menu, press the arrow up once and press . This should get the display options to the top (customization). Initially, touch six times, then to open the display you settings have changed.

    To move the box around the screen so that you can access the settings, press alt + space + m, then use the arrows until it is where you want, and then click . You should be able to cancel your changes here.

    Alternatively, press the Windows key on your keyboard and type "System Restore" and click Enter, choose a date to restore before you make the changes. Good luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Crazy" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com Windows help - www.rickrogers.org

  • If you are using windows 7 in xp mode my display settings are low and I can't adjust the parameters of why and how can I fix

    why I can't change my screen with windows 7 in xp mode and how could solve the problem

    Hi tmjmech,

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

    Settings and change integration features

    When you run XP Mode, it is possible to change the material and data that are automatically integrated into the virtual pc. To change these settings when in Office XP Mode, click the Tools menu and select settings. You will now be in the settings of the virtual machine screen and click on the category of integration features . From there, you can specify what material and features that you want to embed or share with your desktop computer XP Mode.

    These features are:

    ·         Audio - this must be disabled so that you have the best performance. It should be noted that even with this unchecked, all its XP desktop mode will still play through the sound card of your host.

    ·         Clipboard - if this is enabled, then you will be able to copy and paste between XP Mode and your normal desktop.

    ·         Printer - Sharing host your printer with XP Mode.

    ·         Smart cards - XP Mode allows access to the host chip cards.

    ·         Disk - XP mode to access the host players, which include hard disks, CD/DVD players and removable media.

    All changes made to the above settings will be persistent every time that you start the XP Mode. However, if you disable the integration of a particular session, you can click on the Tools menu and then select disable integration features. This will make it so that you do not have access to one of the resources of the host. To enable access to these resources, simply click on the option to enable integration features in the Tools menu.

    Change the XP Mode Virtual Machine settings

    If you find that XP Mode does not work as fast as you want to, or you want to add more features, you must change some settings in your settings in Virtual PC for XP Mode. To change these settings, you must first stop XP Mode so that it is not in a State of hibernation. To do this, click on the menu on Ctrl + Alt + Delete , and then click close on the screen that appears.

    When XP Mode stopped, click the Start Menu, select all programs, Windows Virtual PC, scroll down and then click on Windows Virtual PC icon. You should now see a list of your Virtual PC, including Windows XP Mode. Right click on Windows XP Mode, and select settings. Now that Windows XP Mode is stopped, you can change the settings of your virtual machine. The parameters that you may consider to change to increase the performance and reliability are:

    1 memory
    -if you find that your applications are running slowly, then you can raise it so that your applications have access to more memory system.

    2 hard drives
    -you are able to add more 2 hard disks to your Windows XP Mode. So if you need to add another disk to your Windows XP Mode, you can do here. This will allow you to create a second disk on another physical drive of your computer to improve performance.

    3. cancel the disks - disks of cancellations allow you to create a base of your installation of Windows XP Mode image and then save all changes in a disc of cancellations. So if you need start from your base image, you just go back to settings and ignore the changes in your drive of cancellations. The next time that you start Windows XP Mode, you will be back to the basic configuration with any changes you have made to scrap. I suggest that everyoneturn this option on because it only increases the safety of your installation of Windows XP Mode.

    When you have completed your changes, just click the OK button to save the changes.

    When you then start Windows XP Mode, these settings will now be implemented.

  • Problems with CC animate when my display settings are set to medium (125%).

    Hello!  I have some weird problems with the trial version to animate the CC. There is an option in Windows 8.1 called "changes the size of all the elements" which increases the size of the text, the desktop icons and the taskbar. There is not supposed to affect your programs. I normally set it on medium (125%) due to the large distance between me and the screen, however, this setting seems to be the cause of all sorts of problems to animate the CC which makes it completely unusable software. The reason I think is because it works very well when the low value (100%). I made a video that shows some of the problems:

    (1) the UI is expanded and some of the tools/options are inaccessible because of this.

    (2) anything you draw/add to the scene will move/jump.

    (3) lots and many graphic bugs.

    Link: https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=C8BFCEOwbsI

    This was never a problem with my other Adobe products: Flash and Photoshop CS5. They display and work properly, regardless of this setting, as you can see the screenshots at the end of the video. But Is it me? It's animate CC? Would it really be the parameter that is the cause? Is it possible to fix it? Please help!

    Hello

    Animate CC is not yet compatible with the scale of > 100% display and may not work properly in this context. We are working on that and will inform you as soon as the support is added in Animate.

    Thank you!

  • Satellite Pro L300: How to change the display settings

    Hi I have a toshiba satellite pro l300 run a pentium dual core and intel 965 display chip any games I play on my laptop, they open in a small box and not full screen I've had a quick glance at the settings to try to resolve this with no luck.

    Can someone tell me if there is a way to change the settings to get the games to play in full screen, my current display settings are 1280 x 800 pixels and running at 32-bit color.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    You should set this option to full screen in the games you play. Checked for these options, because you are given something like graphics, solution details and in most cases should be windowed.

    One thing you might try is to uninstall your current display drivers, and then reinstall new ones. Make sure that you use tools like ccleaner cleaning record or similar.
    Check if you have installed all the latest updates of windows and directx version, if you are using Windows XP.

  • Does anyone can help with the display settings on Satellite 4070?

    My brother gave me his old laptop, a Satellite 4070, I wrongly thought was of Wi - Fi enabled and it is connected to my library with poor results.
    The display settings are gone and continue to go haywire and display a message saying:
    There is a problem with your display settings, the adapter type is incorrect, or the current configuration does not work with your hardware.

    I tried to change the display settings but they go back - anyone got any ideas on that?
    I know there is a product recovery CD, but naturally enough I don't have that either.
    Thank you

    Hello

    I m not exactly on this fault, but it seems there must be something wrong with the graphics driver and display settings.
    That's why I recommend you first remove the old driver and after restarting again try to install the graphics driver from the Toshiba driver page.

    I think you are using the Win98. Am I wrong?
    Then visit Toshiba, download the Trident display driver and install it!

    Good luck and have a nice day ;)

  • When Vista (Home premium) end its commissioning, my switches in black and white color scheme. I can't go back to the color. I looked at the display settings and they say all in colour, however, I am always shows black and white.

    Color screen is permenantly black and white. cannot change color and all the display settings are in color. Monitor is always on the color, its just something that vista went to. At the start of vista, it's after start of switches in black and white and color. I can't see where it get back to normal.

    Hi shamorau,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    (1) do you have because of recent changes, after which the problem occurred?

    The first thing I would say is to update or rather uninstall and reinstall display drivers and who might have to deal with the issue.

    Also I suggest you try to use another monitor to see if it is not a problem with the monitor.

    Let us know if the problem persists after the driver updates.

    Hey well yesterday when I restarted my computer it set itself to a screen resolution 800 x 600. He has done this before, so I know how do to solve this problem, but when I went to view the settings to change the resolution of the window upward but my pointer turned to the insensitive loading blue circle and if I tried to click on what whether the program immediately become unresponsive. I checked and it was the same for any customization option that opened this area full settings, including the theme and screen saver.
