graphics using win 7!

I just updated my computer from Windows XP to Windows 7. My graphics are blurred, and I can't set the resolution properly. I think I need an update for my graphics card. Help?

Hello

Have you checked the system manufacturer and the site of the manufacturer of the device for video drivers updated? Also check
for the BIOS, chipset drivers updates low level and other major device drivers.

Since you upgraded to Windows 7 have you run Upgrade Advisor and check compatibility
Center (for compatibility of the device)?

Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor <-- please="" run="" this=""> http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/get/upgrade-advisor.aspx

Also check the Compatibility Center (for the compatibility of the device)?
http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

Check with the system and peripheral manufacturers for updated drivers and many have special instructions
to help the upgrade to Windows 7.

======================

If the system is compatible Windows 7 AND there are drivers for your video (and other devices).

References to Vista also apply to Windows.

This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

-Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
each installation.

Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
necessary.

Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
manually by model.

Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods above
It is preferable to ensure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
get new manually if you wish.

  • Satellite A500: Low resolution using Win 7

    Hello

    I have looked around the forum and have found no real solution to my problem so...
    I recently bought a Satellite A500 and did a clean installation of Windows 7 Professional on this subject.

    Apparently, I had to just update to keep the drivers, but being the noob that I am, I have not.
    So now that my resolution is stuck at 1024 x 768 or 800 x 600, neither of which are native.

    I downloaded the drivers 64-bit win7 on the Toshiba site, but apparently, I already have the latest ATI driver installed.
    However, I can't always change the resolution, and my monitor is recognized as generic non - PnP.
    Is it possible to check if I have the display driver?

    And also all the solutions for the display problem would be very grateful. It's the only thing that remains now bothering me on this new laptop.

    Hello

    I assume you are using Win 7 64 bit OS because you selected the display of Win 7 64-bit driver is good?

    What A500-xxx you have exactly?
    The European driver Toshiba page provides three different display drivers for the A500 series. Intel, nVidia and ATI
    Seems three different graphics chips were installed in series A500

    You should first check what graphics chip using your laptop
    Then go to Device Manager and uninstall the display driver.
    Then visit the page of the European driver Toshiba, download the display on the right for the graphics chip driver and install it.

    Then restart the device and check how would go to the laptop.

  • Satellite L650-11F - question about brightness of the display by using Win XP

    I apologize;
    I want to know is why in windows xp before you plug the adapter into the laptop (Toshiba L650-11F), screen light is bright, but when I drag the adapter, the display light is dark? And the driver is installed

    Please help me

    Hello

    Alternatively, you can change the brightness of the screen by using the FN + F6 and FN F7.
    But as mentioned by Akuma; You should check the power options.
    I guess that the Toshiba Power Saver is installed because you use Win XP.

    In the configuration of the Toshiba Power Saver, you can assign the screen brightness level to certain power profile. For example; You can define a profile of power when the laptop is connected to the power adapter or another profile of power for battery operation.

    Perhaps the brightness of the display is set to a lower level, while the laptop works on sector
    Then change this value, and I think that this will solve your problem.

  • Remove the child window Parent using WIN API

    Hi all

    For a parent-child relationship between two screws using the User32.dll I use the SetParent function and pass the handle of the parent VI and VI child to this function. Now, after this relationship has been established, I want to remove the child from the parent window and use it as an independent VI using WIN API. Can someone help me on this?

    Thanks in advance!

    Fragger Fox!

    Hi Fragger Fox,

    I think that it should be possible, if you assign a new parent to the child. Maybe this works if you assign the desktop as a new parent.

    It will be useful.

  • Using WIN XP SP3 and OE 6 many crashes and freezes

    I use WIN XP SP3 Home edition and OE6.  I have three problems 1.  Very slow operation.  2. frequent crashes when you delete the email.  3. frequent freezes and shuts down completely.

    It makes it almost impossible to get anything done.  It takes most of the morning to read my mail.  Work with IE8 is the same slow, crashes, and freezes.

    You probably corrupted dbx files. Compact all folders first and see which helps. If this isn't the case, create a new identity.

    ********************

    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

    After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

  • I erased from my hard drive and can not use Win 7

    I tried to delete Grub/Ubuntu and eventually remove Win 7. At least it will not start. And if I use my repair disc, that's not restore my Win 7. I get an error in the hard drive is bad, or the MBR needs to be reset. I did it today. When I insurt my repair disc, need me toSystem back recovery opens. I tired the startup, no change repair. I tried the command prompt to reset the MBR. Unknown if changed or reset. 4 discs recovery cannot start, and if I use the recovery management it does not to click on any key. But the return to the System Recovery Options.

    I have tried everything I know not taken to the place where I bought the computer and see if they can fix it. I don't know what else to try here. I think I made things worse as I went before trying to remove Ubuntu and Grub and install win 7 back. I don't know if I have double wall on the hard drive, or just Chantilly it clean of all hidden, and no hidden information.

    Can anyone suggest how I could come back just by using Win 7. Some have suggested to do a full format of the drive. But I can't get on the hard drive to do. And I don't know if my repair records and Win 7 recovery does not start in any case. In order to get the system recovery option, I have to open the start menu and click on the DVD-ROM. The repair disk or the recovery disks will start or put a pressure on any key page before opening the repair disk, and the recovery disks will not yet be opened then. Any help would be greatly welcomed at this stage.

    If you have your windows recovery disk and a Ubuntu live CD, boot from Ubuntu, open gparted and completely erase your HARD drive.

    then turn the power off, insert your windows recovery disk, press F12 to start and choose to start form DVD and try to install. the disc of recovery need a HDD completely wiped to work (only simple raw data)

    So, I wonder if there is a way to do this?

    I would like to point out something that you may not realize: Windows 8
    has two interfaces; the modern/Metro Interface (which may be all the)
    you have looked at) and the traditional desktop Interface. You can use
    one or both.
    This traditional desktop Interface is almost identical to Windows 7
    interface; the biggest difference is that there is no Orb start
    Click to bring up the start menu. But note that you can get the beginning
    Orb back using one of the many third-party programs, either for free or
    very inexpensive (Classic Shell to)
    http://classicshell.sourceforge.NET/ and debut8 to
    http://www.stardock.com/products/start8/; my personal preference is
    Debut8, but they are both very good).  And goes from an interface to
    the other is very easy; There are several ways, but simply by pressing
    the Windows key is perhaps the easiest.
    I use Windows 8, almost exclusively with the traditional desktop interface and start 8 installed. If you were to look at and use
    my computer, you would have a hard time realizing that it is not
    Windows 7.
    I also recommend to read "how to make Windows 8 or 8.1 watch and.

  • Is it legal to use any Windows programs under Linux using Wine as long as the programs are free initially, like Windows Live products?

    original title: is it legal?

    I read on Internet that Linux users can download and run official Windows software on their computer using a program called wine.
    If the Windows program they want to run is something that is free, is Live Photo Gallery or Windows Live Movie Maker legal to use with the demand for wine?
    Thanks for your time!

    Yes, perfectly legal, if it wasn't, I don't know that Microsoft would have to stop them. If you spent $500, you are free to install it on the operating system of your choice, although versions recent Office 2010 and 2007 version and software such as Windows Live Essentials won't probably wine.
