How to manually set my screen resolution
My OS is Windows Vista Business
My graphics card is ATI Radeon HD 3650.
As far as I can see, they are incompatible.
I'm really fed up after more than two years of distorted on my screen content. This is best illustrated by photos
the viewable area of the screen is 17 inches x 10.5 inches. It is a ratio, as close as d * 5:3.
CatCC ATI had before 1280 x 960 or 4:3 and, of course, I looked fat in my pix (no comments please!)
So I put it 5:3. It is why photos should now be good... but now I look emaciated, like something from "Roswell".
Why?
It seems that I need something like 1280 x 800, but no such resolution is offered.
CatCC ATI offers resolutions of only...
report 4:3 - i.e. 800 x 600, 1024 x 768, 1152 x 864, 1280 x 960, 1380 x 1050
ratio of 5:3 - 1.e. 1280 x 768, 1380 x 1050.
ratio 5:4-1280 x 1024
On Windows XP, it has been possible to set the resolution manually. Now I can no longer do.
Is this a result of narrow programming Vista OS, resulting in limited options?
Or Dell just gave me the bad graphics card?
As it is, I can't have nothing to realistic appearance on the screen. This is ridiculous in our technical age.
Is there a way to get around this?
Or am I finally stuck with a square that will always look like a rectangle, regardless of the resolution, I have chosen?
concerning the will
Hello
If you upgraded from XP to Vista or you bought Vista preinstalled, you check with Dell to see if there are Vista compatible drivers.
Dell provides drivers and Dell does not include material on buy operating systems pre-installed on their computers or cell phones, if it's not compatible...
If the graphics card is pre-installed as part of your Dell with Vista preinstalled OS, go to the Dell site and download the last Grapghics / video / Chipset for your computer model and operating system drivers.

Or look at the AMD (they own ATI) website.

How to make my top screen resolution
Hello
I just bought a monitor 24 inch LG compatible IPS 1920 x 1200 display. However, in my settings, the highest is 1280 x 1024. My graphics card is also new, an MSI NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 960. My operating system is Windows 7. How can I get my screen resolution up to 1920 x 1200? Helllllllp please.
For your new 960 GTX you also go to the NVIDIA WWW site and download the current drivers (version 355.98).
Their website is here and you can get them to automatically detect your GPU and suggest a driver or you can choose to download it yourself:

I keep saying to change the resolution of the screen but don't know how to proceed and would appreciate some advice before doing the wrong thing.

The screen resolution is a Windows 8 setting you need to change. I found this walk through (with screenshots) that should help you.

When I draw components in the design area flex builder is set to "Fit to window". so application are displayed on my monitor(17") correctly, but when I try to run the same application to another computer or a laptop of 14" display screen is different than the screen of the monitor is short, I need to scroll down to see the full page. My question is how can I make sure that the application should search for uniform on different platform/different browsers and different monitors (regardless of the dimensions of the monitor).And how can get the screen resolution of system during execution?
Thanks for all the help and support.Look in flash.system.capabilities. Note that any application based on a browser usually does not control how big be.

Qosmio G20: How to get the higher screen resolution on monitor external 22 "
I have a Qosmio G20 and today I bought a Samsung 226BW the external display. The Samsung has a max resolution / optimal 1680x1050px. The manual SAIS the laptop Toshiba supports a resolution of the external display up to 2048 x 1536...
I tried now all sorts of settings, but the highest resolution I get on the external monitor is 1440 x 900 (-even as the laptop).
1440 x 900 display 22 '' is not enough for serious photo editing;. It seems simply blur.What I am doing wrong? I deeply appreciate answers/comments; because if 1440 x 900 is all I can get, I have to return to the external monitor to the store...
If someone is so good!
Espen.Hello
The available screen resolution depends on the graphics driver. You cannot choose the favorite one from the 1680 x 1050 resolution because it doesn t graphics card driver supports.
Perhaps an update of the graphics driver could help.
By the way; an inf file must be provided by the manufacturer of the monitor. You can install this file right-click and choosing install.

Cannot set the screen resolution to 64-bit on windows 7 64-bit edition.
So, I bought a laptop with windows 7 64 bit is installed. I rolled back my driver after a few months to fix a crash on a game I was playing. I'm running a nvidia geforce gtx 260 m. Under the nvidia Control Panel, I see I can use 32-bit resolution. I updated the driver and I checked the other updates. However, I can not yet use 64-bit color. How can I set it so I can use 64-bit?
Thanks in advance!

How can I improve my screen resolution if it is not greater than 1024 x 600?
I just downloaded and installed Windows 8 on my Gateway LT4010u netbook. Windows 8 will not let me use one of my apps that my screen resolution is too low. How can I he thrust at 1024 x 768 required?
I know that you do not want to hear this, but there is nothing to do but buy an external monitor.
It is a nice monitor for a very cheap price.
You can also a VGA cable, too.
I hope this helps.

I want to enjoy the new interface and not access anything from there. I hope that there is a way.
Thanks in advance.Hi , Sideria,
Thanks for posting in the Forum the Microsoft community.
I understand from your description you want to change the resolution of the screen.
To change the Screen resolution, do the following:
Step 1: Right click on the desktop and select Screen Resolution screen resolution window.
Step 2: You can see the current screen resolution then the resolution box. If the resolution is less than 1024 x 768 pixels, you can set a higher resolution, if your PC supports. To change the resolution in progress, click resolution box and select a higher resolution.

Cannot bar resolution move to set the screen resolution
I just installed vista and everything was huge! I went screen resolution under Customize and there is no other options on the scroll bar expect I am the one on which is 640 X 480 at an average of 16-bit color, I tried to update the drivers for the card and the screen but its still the same, I also reinstalled vista but its still the same HELP!
Go to the Web site of the manufacturer of your laptop computer-graphics/computer card > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Vista drivers > download/install them.
If there is no graphics Vista drivers available for your model, nothing can be done about it.

Change the screen resolution
Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.
See you soon.

How to set the screen resolution to fit monitor
original title: monitor
I have a large screen, but it seems as if it was a waste of money because I don't get to use the middle of the screen. Can someone tell me please how to get full use out of my monitor? do I need some sort of version beta or something?
Your description is not very clear, are the main steps to configure your display:
-Make sure you have the latest drivers for your graphics card & monitor installed Windows 7 .
-Search in the manual of your monitor and find out what the native resolution & refresh rate are for example (1920 x 1080 @ 60 Hz), then go to:
Start-> Control Panel-> display
and together that view you these settings.
-If you have black borders around your screen, you should increase the size of your screen through the software installed normally with your graphics card. For a basic card ATI look for a feature called overscan/underscan. Look for the option to increase the size of the desktop in the nVidia Control Panel for nVidia cards. For othe graphics cards check support manual/website for advice.

How to set the screen resolution?
Original title: on screen display with the unused space on the sides
It is probably so basic, but my display is not full screen, even if I put it in full screen. There is an inch of space black unused screen on each side of the screen. What should I do? Thanks in advance
Hello
You're probably not using the correct resolution, IE: you use a display standard aspect ratio when you have a widescreen monitor. This can be corrected in the settings/personalize/display of the Control Panel, adjust the slider to resolution here.
