I just installed windows vista ultimate on my PC. I am not able to adjust my screen resolution.

I am not able to adjust the resolution of my screen with Vista Ultimate.  If it's in 16 bits, the graphics are excellent, but the sizing of everything is huge.  There is a slide bar, but I am unable to move it.  It is in the lowest position, and he said get it up for sizing, but it won't let me.  If I use anything other than 16 bits, I can get my sizing down, but my graphics are bad.  Any ideas?

Go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/laptop > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Vista drivers > download/install them.

Once you have the latest graphic drivers, then change it.

If there is no avauilable of graphics drivers for Vista, you're out of luck.

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.

  • New just installed Windows Vista, unable to connect to wireless networks

    So a few months ago my laptop (HP Pavilion dv6) fell from my bed and the hard drive was messed up, so I'm a computer geek friend to replace my hard drive and put a new operating system on it, he had no activation key. In any case, after I came back it was working fine and I was able to use the internet by connecting to public networks, but every time I would connect to my computer it asked me to activate it. And finally I got so bored with being bugged that I decided to buy a new product key, so that he'd stop bugging me. So I bought a new Windows Vista Home premium operating system and when I received it in the mail, I installed correctly and put in the product key and active it and all that much good but whenever I try to connect to the internet that it says "Windows cannot find wireless networks" and when I click on "Diagnose this problem" he says "this computer does not have an install_ adapter of» configured wireless network. and then it gives me options troubleshooting that brings me at all because most of them consist in some way to update my drivers online, but I can't online my laptop to update! and all the other solutions are just confused. Is there a reason why my "driver" would stop working AFTER you install Windows Vista? Or is there some way I can uninstall the operating system and just use the one I had before? Help please!

    Go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/laptop > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Vista drivers > download/install them.

    5. in the right pane, click UpperFilters.

    Note You can also see an UpperFilters.bak registry entry. You don't have to delete this entry. Click UpperFilters . If you do not see the UpperFilters registry entry, you may still have to delete the LowerFilters registry entry. To do this, go to step 8.

    Hello

    There are several methods to check the high low filters and maybe it's not yet the real
    the cause of the problem.

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

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
    below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
    cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

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

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
    the correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
    as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
    the parameters.

    I downloaded several updates for vista (no critical updates) and since that time, I was not able to access my emails. I use netscape and the page opens and freezes. What should I try?

    original title: EMAIL GEL

    Hello

    What updates do you have installed?

    Check if the problem persists in the clean boot state.

    From your computer by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine if a background program is interfering with your game or program. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot".

    Reference:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box
    2. press ENTER.

    The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.

    3. click on the general tab, click Normal startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.
    4. When prompted, click on restart to restart the computer.

    Also, look for error messages in the event viewer. If you find error messages after return the exact error message so that we can help you better.

    Measures to check the application event log:

    a. click Start.
    (b) in the search box type eventvwr.msc , and then on enter.
    c. now, click Application in the event viewer (local).

    Hi Rangerlone88,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    Do you get the display only problem with the games online, or also on the desktop?

    What browser do you use to go online?

    If you use Internet Explorer, you can check the level of zoom in the bottom right of the screen and set it to your liking.

    You can also try to optimize Internet Explorer.

    1. Open Internet Explorer.
    2. Click Security, and then click delete browsing history.
    3. In delete the browsing history area, click Remove.

    A progress bar is displayed to indicate that the browsing history is currently disabled. Once this process is complete, test Internet Explorer to verify that it works correctly.

  • Windows Vista Ultimate EXTREMELY slow

    OK, so I installed Windows Vista Ultimate on my computer, I like it, but it is extremely slow.

    The shape of plug the computer are as follows:

    AMD Sempion 1.64 Ghz processor

    480 MB of RAM

    HDD 40 gig

    This should be enough to start. I wonder how can I speed up a bit I've run Diskcheck and defrag and Dick Clean-up with very little progress. Just don't have the money for the extra RAM right now either so if there is a way to speed it up without buying extra RAM, I would like to know.

    It's no surprise that it is extremely slow. You have * way * too little
    RAM and you will never get a decent performance with this amount. 1 GB
    is the minimum necessary for performance * beginning * become
    acceptable for people whose needs are very light (because their)
    using the application is light). But for almost everyone, is at least 2 GB
    really need or that you are satisfied with the performance.
     
    In addition, a 40 GB hard drive is * small *. This isn't a performance problem,
    but unless you do not do much with your computer, you will be running
    more disk space very soon. You should have at least 160 GB or more.
