How to adjust the screen resolution in Windows Vista?

Today my laptop Dell inspiron1525 changed a screen resolution of plurrie without changing.  How can I make running Windows Vista to x 800?

Thanks for help.

Hi Klair,

I suggest to access the link below and follow the steps described in the article and change the resolution on your laptop.

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/change-screen-resolution

If you can not change the resolution by following the steps described in the article, you can try to download the latest drivers from Dell Web site for your graphics card and install and then try to change the resolution. Access the link below and download the graphic drivers for your graphics card and try to install it.

Also, you can follow the steps in the link below to update the drivers to display on your computer and check if it helps.

    But you can check the following:

    Go to settings of display properties (right click on desktop > properties > settings). Click Advanced, and then select the monitor tab. * Uncheck * the box Hide modes that this monitor cannot display.

  • Reducing the size of the Panel complete front to adjust the screen resolution of 1024 pixels / 786 pixels

    Hello.

    I designed the app and now I found the screen resolution required is 1024/786. I have a lot of orders and indicators and very worried that the façade will lose his eye and he'll take a lot of time to be set for each control and text.

    I wonder if this is the way I could shrink the size of the front panel so it automatically reduces the size of each control and indicator and it fits well in the required resolution. Any ideas?

    Thanks for help

    Kind regards

  • How to reduce the screen resolution

    Windows 98 how forcing standard 640 x 480 to 1024 x 768 resolution settings as the slide bar is grayed out, is there a way to force it to change. I tried to change the drivers of the settings, but it keeps asking for the disks that I have not, overwhelms the display on the screen and I need to lower the resolution.

    Not a problem, John.

    You find the problem with technology is older.  Once the operating systems have been abandoned (98, XP and soon Win 7), the component manufacturer no longer provides drivers for them.  The fact is, develop drivers is not an easy task.  They must not only be compatible with the components, but with the other drivers.

    This is Win 7 Upgrade Advisor.  You can check if your computer supports Windows 7.  If this isn't the case, you do not simply to be able to adjust the resolution with Win 98.

    As you list the things above, you apparently know where the
    place to change the settings.
    Just so go and change each of these parameters to someone ' u
    prefer them to be. No one can tell you what you need to "define everything".
    to."there are no rights and wrongs to these parameters. That's all just a
    matter of personal preference. Change something and see how you like
    the results. If you are satisfied with the result, keep them and go to
    the next parameter. If you are not satisfied, try another setting.

    Also note that, in most applications, you can change the size of the
    text (and other things like graphic images) in the application of
    Hold down the CTRL key and the mouse wheel scrolling. We do
    more grand, more small way.
