G41 display Dim at the start

My G41 suddenly seems to start with a black screen... when I try to see the BIOS settings, I see that there is impression, but it is so dark that you can't read.  I don't see the controls to set up an external monitor.  The IBM logo flashes during start up, but then the screen will Dim.  It was not preceded by a pink screen; It was very sudden.

The model number is 93ü-2886.  Any ideas on approaches?  Thank you!

    My laptop xp display Dim on current alternative and light on the battery!  How reverse that?

    Hello KarenJudyOrdoyne,

    Thanks for the return of the response.  I've included the Dell Web site below for the latest drivers, firmware and BIOS updates.  I would like to confirm that you are the first on the updates.

    Dell support:

    http://support.Dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/KCS/document?docid=427825

    If you look in the support section, other users have reported this problem.  In some cases, replace the power supply cable has solved this problem and I show other update to the latest BIOS update and this has changed.

    Also, do you have the Dell Diagnostics on your computer?  This is usually installed by the manufacturer, but you can run a test to determine if there is a hardware problem.

    I hope this helps!

    I woke up this morning my computer starts before a pretty bad storm. I fear something my have been struck by lightning, but I do not know? When I booted up... Windows appeared to be normal... but all my icons are huge, with all the rest... seems to work very well with the internet, etc. I have change the size in pixels and it seemed to normal size, but somethings just not good. It almost seems as if I'm in safe mode, but I'm not. As the fonts are different... I do not know.. does anyone know what I need to do?

    * original title - need help *.

    It could be that your video driver has been reset to some VGA default, rather than the specific card in your system. Check the properties of the display to see if it is correct for your telephone. (Right click on the desktop, properties, settings). You should see the screen and display adapter listed.

    Unlikely, but you can also visit Accessiblility (display) settings in the control panel to make sure that none of those who have been changed.

  • Impossible to display the items in the start menu

    Home Premium SP2, IE8. Dell laptop.

    I must have tried mistakenly and unknowingly add an element in the Menu start (one on the right).
    Now, if I click on the Start button, I have a message saying that some elements of the Start Menu may not be displayed, and that I should change to a higher resolution.
    Here I am on the highest resolution 1280 x 800 pixels
    Color is set to 32-bit.
    Screen refresh rate is set to 60 Hertz.

    System Restore is out of the question that I had made a diskcleanup and deleted all the points except the one under restoration.
    I can't figure out what I wanted to add to the Start Menu.
    Anyway to find out?

    t-4-2

    I almost checked everything and I do not get this message (but I'm at 1920 x 1200 pixels).  The thing is, you have probably really all these elements if account required to limiting the size, you'll just need to identify the items you really need/want and uncheck the others until the message disappears.  Most of these items can be added as shortcuts to the office or the menu all programs for options is a click on Show desktop and clicking on the option instead of a click on start and click on the option (even two clicks so be it - more if you put the shortcuts in all programs rather than on the desktop).  If you are having problems, create the appropriate shortcuts, just post back exactly what are the options that you want as shortcuts and we will see if we can help you (if you still need that).

    As much as what option you want to add, I have no idea and no way of knowing.  You must include only what you actually use frequently.  Don't forget, there are other ways to do all these options, even if they are not in the Start Menu, you can still get where you want to go (just may take a little longer).

    The only other choice is to upgrade your video card so that it supports a higher resolution (assuming one is available that is compatible with the rest of your computer and its devices - in particular, the monitor and motherboard - and also compatible with your version of Vista).  But this seems a high price to pay just to be able to see a few buttons in the Start Menu.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • How to get all the programs in the Start Menu is displayed as a cascading menu

    Is there a legitimate way to get the menu all programs in the Windows 7 Start Menu to display a menu cascading (WinXP style)?

    I've seen many references to various malicious programs to download from the internet who hack into the start menu to provide this functionality, but I'm not interested in executing random programs from the internet.

    If there is no legitimate way to do this in Windows 7 right now, is it possible to add this in the future Microsoft? The current implementation of menu "scroll of the trees" is really annoying. :-(

    Hi Ghaz78

    There is unfortunately no way to do this without using a replacement of the third party.

    One of the most popular workarounds must simply turn on the Quick Launch bar. You can put the toolbar QL next to the Start Menu and then copy the folder of programs (all programs) on this toolbar that will give you the cascading effect.

    See the post below for the steps to add the QL toolbar.

    Bar to complete tasks

    Once this done, go to Start, then right-click all programs , and then selectopen all users. This will take you to the folder C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start start\program . This is the location where the shortcuts that appear in all the user accounts, theall programs folder.

    Copy this folder in: C:\Users\your name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

    Go toStart, all programs right click and select Open. This will take you to the
    Record of C:\Users\your start\program name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start.
    This is the folder where shortcuts that appear only in the all programs to your specific user account folder is located.

    Copy this folder in:C:\Users\your name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

    Quite.

    I hope this helps.

    He would be grateful if you can answer these questions to help you further.

    1. have you made changes on the computer before this problem?
    2. What is the brand and model of your computer?

    I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1:

    You can try to check if the problem occurs in safe mode and check if it helps.

    Method 2:

    If the problem does not exist in Mode without failure, then try to put your computer in a clean boot state.

    By setting your boot system minimum state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem.

  • How can I prevent the Win7 installing display drivers just after starting?

    My main use of this particular computer is Microsoft's Flight Simulator X. It's a title 3-4 years and it works better on the 182.5 nVidia drivers than it does on the last drivers out there.

    I just got an ATI card and I'm replacing a nVidia card. I uninstalled the ATI card, used Driver Sweeper in safemode and jumped in the nVidia card. Unfortunately, Windows installs a driver, I don't want to as soon as I get in windows.

    I have disabled the Windows of any kind (temporarilly) updates, but it still happens. Searching on Google I found a solution that starts with-
    -Click Start
    -type in gpedit.msc entered press...

    Unfortunately gpedit does not seem to be on my system, so it stops there.

    I absolutely need the old version of this driver and there must be a clean install not on top of another driver so if anyone knows how to stop the auto install it please help. I spent far too much money on this sim card to be stopped by the present, and I don't want to go back to XP at this point.

    Thanks in advance,
    Rob

    Oops almost forgot I'm on Windows 7 64 bit.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Edit - Ok in another post here to solve another problem I've seen one person say to uninstall a driver, reboot and cancell the automatic installation of the new driver...

    My problem is that I do not get the dialog box who says it's installing drivers or one that will allow me to stop the installation after I type my password and press enter (log in). After you have clicked on enter it is less than 10 seconds before a dialog box tells me that I must restart to complete the installation. Never thought that I would complain that my ' computer is too fast, LOL!

    If I uninstall the video driver, start in safe mode, run driver Sweeper to get all the bits that are missed, restart back in safe mode I can again install the new drivers (older) then in safe mode? I've never tried something install with safe mode before, so I don't know if it is still possible or recommended.

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated,
    Rob

    Hello Samhrutha G,.

    Thank you for your response. I think that your solution would work if Windows has never had the nVidia system driver, but because he did it (from when my settings were to allow updates) install regardless of my settings in the Windows Update settings. You see, I had (temporarilly) the value of this parameter to never to let Windows download and install updates but he ignored that (I tried with your settings too).

    I think I found a solution, but I could be wrong in my understanding. This is my thoughts when you uninstall a video card driver and restart with no 3rd party drivers on your system, Windows uses its driver 'Standard VGA '. I'm not sure but I think that it is the State in which we look after using something like Driver Sweeper in safe mode. Just the driver VGA Standard, this way a clean install of 3 third-party drivers can be made.

    What I did is to use Device Manager to access my VGA card and selected the option Update my driver from a list of drivers already on my system. It gave me the choice of GTX 275 nVidia Driver installation or driver VGA Standard. I chose the standard and restarted. After the restart he tried to update that I don't want, so that's good.

    My next steps will be to start in safe mode, run Driver Sweeper to clean the remnants of the nVidia Driver, restart, leaving the sytem completely load and then reboot again. I wil then install the driver nVidia of my choice.

    If I'm right that which users are usually trying to accomplish with the method Driver Sweeper is Windows just use is driver VGA Standard then I have all good and my card will work better than my old less powerful card (which is not currently the case). I think I'm right because Windows would need some kind of driver to display anything on the screen at all which I assume is his 'Standard VGA' driver.

    Please someone correct me if I'm wrong I typed all this out in the hope of helping others with the same question.

    Thank you once again Samhrutha I thank you for taking the time to offer your help.

  • JumpLists disabled; 'store and display of recently opened items in the Start Menu and the taskbar' is greyed out

    My option 'store and display of recently opened items in the Start Menu and the taskbar' is grayed out. Are also grayed out any mention of "jumplists" system (i.e. the number of items to display in the jumplists). Have I inadvertently disabled this feature? If so, how can I return it?

    Hi, landonblaine:

    When the option store and display recently opened items in the start menu and the taskbar is disabled and grayed out, it is a symptom that two Windows fonts are applied to your system.

    Open the Publisher of the registry (Regedit.exe) and navigate to this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer. If there is a registry that NoRecentDocsMenu value set to 1, delete it. If there is a registry that NoRecentDocsHistory value set to 1, remove it as well.

    Repeat the same steps in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer registry key (it cannot exist).

  • Search in the start menu displays old emails from my Hotmail account, how can I stop this?

    Search in the start menu displays old emails from my Hotmail account. I find it tiresome and very secure as anyone who uses my computer can read my emails.  I guess my computer is somehow related to my Windows Live account. I did a search for these emails in my Hotmail account and they don't even exist.

    How can I go to stop this? I tried to look in the Windows Live options but couldn't find anything. Thank you

    These files are probably within your e-mail program on your computer (for example, Outlook, Windows Live Mail, Thunderbird or another program).

    You can turn off the messages to appear in the search results, but anyone could still just open your e-mail program and snooping.  The only way to be really sure is to use a password on your computer and let other people use a guest account (or make their own account).
