    After an update, my screen resolution changed for no reason. Tried to change, but now I have a black border around my screen that I can't get rid of.

    Hello

    Windows Update will sometimes offer you updates of graphics drivers; NEVER accept them.

    Only go graphics drivers of your computer or the manufacturer of the graphics Web site map.

    Go to the website of your computer manufacturer > drivers download Section > then key in your computer model number > find your operating system > find two graphics / video or from the Chipset drivers and download and install.

    Then try to change the screen resolution.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    Here is the information on the Windows updates.

    Microsoft gives sometimes you updates for the 3rd party hardware: graphics, network cards, etc.

    You should only get the latest drivers for them to real hardware manufacturer's website, as Microsoft normally does nor those have the most recent drivers available as Microsoft relies of the 3rd party hardware Manufactuer to provide.

    But unfortunately, the only way to know which is the update of the problem is to install them one by one, until you find the 'wrong' for your installation.

    You can do a system restore to get back until it has been installed (which is NOT the best way to remove an update) or follow this method:

    'Remove an update'

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/remove-an-update

    When you have found the issue of update of the list of updates which is presented > then right click on the update problem > select Hide update > and it will not be available to you once again

    "How to hide or show an update of Windows Vista"

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/72491-Windows-Update.html

     

    Here's how to chanage update settings, if you think it is necessary to:

    "Understanding Windows Update and Extras in Windows Vista and Windows 7.

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/Windows-Vista-updates-and-extras/

    Or the other of these two update settings will give you the chance to see what you want to install through Windows updates;

    Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Windows will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.

    Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want. This option should really be reserved for people who know exactly which updates they need, or those who have little access to the Internet.

    But remember you normally only have problems with hardware 3rd party drivers. Other updates are to improve the Performance and security of your system

  • How can I get rid of the tattoo "Test Mode Windows 7 Build 7600" after an upgrade of Vista with the package?

    Just upgraded Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Home Premium with the version updated official (box set). Update went well, but I now have a "Test Mode Windows 7 Build 7600" watermark in the lower right. I entered the activation during the installation, and there is no section in the control panel to activate manually, so I guess the activation went well. How can I get rid of this watermark?

    You can deactivate the Test Mode by typing bcdedit/set testsigning in the command prompt.

    If the command above does not work, try:

    Open again (run as administrator) command prompt and type the following command:

    bcdedit.exe - set loadoptions ENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
    bcdedit.exe - set off the TESTSIGNING

    See you soon! Life sucks! Get used to it.

  • How can I get rid of the malware known as Windows of custom settings?

    Here we have a computer that has picked up the malware known as Windows of the custom settings. I downloaded, installed and tried to run Spyware Doctor, SuperAntiSpyware and a few others. I can't launch the software, obviously this malware prevents what he'll kill to run. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance for any help you can give.

    Yes, I had tried AntiMalWare with no success. However, I had to run SuperAntiSpyware and it took care of the problem. It took 2 separate trials so he can run and clean it well. Thank you for your quick response.

  • How can I get rid of the black box around the exported video?

    I am importing video recorded with OBS in resolution 1920 x 1080. Watch the video, it seems fine. But once I run the video in Adobe first Elements 9, when I export it as a file .m2t in resolution 1920 x 1080, it has a thick black box around the video. The video source is in .mp4 format. Can someone help here?

    Versions prior to version 11 of Premiere Elements must have their projects manually configured to match the source media.

    Start a new project, in the project Panel, click settings and select project settings that correspond to your video specifications. This can be difficult because you are not editing video camcorder but the video which is produced by a third-party software. You will probably need open a sample of this video G Spot or Media Info in order to get the exact resolution, the frame rate and audio and video codecs that are in use - and, in the Premiere Elements 9 version, these codecs are not fully supported.

    You can try the free download of version 13 and see if it works better with your video. Earlier versions of the software were much greater with sources video camcorder and non-standard.

  • How can I get rid of the black bar that appears in the middle of the screen every time I have set the basic like the volume control features, or brightness levels?

    Hi, can someone help me with a really annoying (and I'm sure a simple to fix) problem?  I don't know if it's related to Windows 7 or if it's just my laptop plays up.  I recently upgraded to Windows 7 from Visa and whenever I have increase/decrease noise, brightness, etc (no matter if I do this using the key on the keyboard or via the control panel), a black bar appears in the middle of the display, indicating the levels that I'm reaching with the adjustments.  It's useful... except it does not disappear after that I'm done.  The bar stays there for all the time that I am connected and text blocks, images on the screen that I can't minimize or even move it out of the road.

    Hi Mkum

    The bar you describe look like this image?

    If so, this is part of the HP software that is installed on the computer.

    Here is a link to the HP support forum where this utility is supported.
