• Windows think I have a 3200 x 1800 display when I only 1600 x 900?

  Hi, bought a HP Envy 14 TouchSmart k100 sleekbook today (demo, they were out of stock) and I have a major problem.

  My OS (Windows 8.1 Pro) think I have a 3200 x 1800 screen, but I really have a 1600 x 900 screen. If I change my resolution of 1600 x 900, everything is super big and it is pretty useless. 3200 x 1800 is the best to use, but there were still some errors viewing. Most of the stuff is good, like the chrome etc, but text in windows is too big, and the startmenu (startmenu new-window) is too small.

  Why is this? I have the latest nvidia AND intel grapich drivers, but they did not affect the error for me.

  Here is how things looks at the http://i.imgur.com/mH2PvDa.jpg office

  Drumstic Hello, welcome to the Forums of HP.

  I see that you have a discrepancy in the size of the font on a higher resolution on the screen. I will try to help you with this.

  Research into the laptop and your question. I think you're confused size and resolution of the screen. The size of the screen of your laptop would be 14 "but the resoultion can be changed depending on which supports graphics. Your laptop is running dual graphics (Intel and Nvidia), from when you are able to achieve a higher resolution.

  With regard to the text (as seems to be the main concern), try these document from Microsoft:

• Windows firewall won't start, 6801 Code error in the event log viewer

  When I try to start my windows firewall manually it just says that it cannot be run.
  I checked dependencies of firewall are running via services.msc
  (CPP) Remote procedure call is started and set to automatic
  DCOM Server process Launcher also started and set to automatic
  These are the only 2 mentioned in the tree of dependencies.

  Ive tried going into regedit according to the http://forums.techarena.in/vista-security/754147.htm
  But could never find the % query defined values, they have mentioned that only how to make them.

  Program installed Antivirus is ESET 4.0 with firewall.
  Tried to disable all the services start and no microsoft via msconfig services, but the firewall still does not start.

  My system is running Windows Vista Premium.

  I have no idea why the firewall just quit on me, I turned it off when I installed ESET smart security 1-2 years back.
  I've been juggling start services to try to make my computer faster startup could be something I did.
  I even tried their activation at unsuccessfully.

  Im going to do a full analysis of the Virus to see if it could be the culprit, but its highly unlikely it seems.
  No matter which entry of the Forumites here would know it that I really need to get the windows firewall service starts to install my drivers for the new printer I just bought
  (part of his installation required to start the windows firewall to configure, when it fails it cant complete the installation)

  I solved it thnx to DaGreenOne,

  It wasn't enough to just disable the ESET firewall,
  You must completely uninstall the ESET program to the windows firewall to work again.

• Windows Firewall won't turn on after the Trojan horse

  Hello

  I have windows 7 starter edition. I recently had a Trojan virus on my computer, it was called Trojan:Win32 / Ramnit.A
  This virus had caused me to not be able to turn on my Security Center, but now it was fixed and the Security Center now works. However, my Center of the action is to tell me I need switch my firewall, but it doesn't let me it says: Action Center can't turn on the firewall. So I clicked on activate manually but when windows firewall comes up it says "windows firewall does not use recommended settings to help protect your computer. Next to the post is a button that says "use recommended settings, but when I click on it an error message comes up saying:"firewall Windows cannot change some of your settings.

  Help!

  Hi Barry,.

  MSE is not the cause.  I suspect two things.  One, some ports in the firewall must be enabled to access the internet (your ISP should be able to tell) or you use a wrong port which is not activated, while the is correct.

  Second, you set up like a dial instead of a connection to the local network through the router (which must also be configured and secured if there is no wireless capability), and then the LAN must be connected to the internet.  Essentially, your network configuration is incorrect and must be corrected.  As a general rule, all you need to do is contact your ISP technical support and if you walk through the process over the phone.

  That's how I would handle it because even the experts here is perhaps not able to determine the appropriate settings for your ISP gave your versions of Windows and brands of routers and modems (and everything that needs to be connected).  They lose your business if you can't connect, and they have people who simply as for a life - often 24/7 - they are generally useful and really good in this.

  If that doesn't work (and I bet than that), and so that I could take you through it here in general with more information about your hardware, OS, ISP and other, this is the wrong forum for this.  You start here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/networking?page=1&tab=all&tm=1300700638376.  Near the top, select your operating system from the drop-down menu to access the appropriate forum for your system.  Then post here like you did here, but give them all the details (manufacturer, brand and model of computer, network equipment, your exact version of Windows, what browser you are using and your network configuration).

  Good luck

• Firewall turns off after Windows XP starts

  Hello

  I had the virus that has not seen the MS and MS Safty Scanner MS Security Essentials (MSE) malicious software removal (the value always protect).  It prevented the MSE to run.

  I downloaded Malwarebytes (no Scan option, no firewall or real-time).  He found the virus, the list is below shows what virus found where.  I uninstalled and installed a new MSE, he says that the machine is clean.

  Task bar indicators show my firewall consistantly goes off about 45 seconds after the start to the top, then turn about 30 seconds after the beginning upward.  (I note firewall controls are frozen before it turns off, it can be turned off from the start, just about 45 seconds for the PC to detect).

  The firewall configuration is does not (unknown error) while the firewall is disabled and setting off the power before.

  I'm running a fully updated MS Windows XP 32-bit, bridge 2005,.

  Now, I already tried a lot of things, including about six analyses of various companies.  I suspect there is still a compenent that nobody yet knows how to look.  Is there anyway to get MS to analyze my system to see what is out there, so that they can identify the virus, I think I have MSE reports, but there is no button to tell MS my computer is infected, so I think that there is no report.

  I'll probably have to find another XP operating system going offline, but my piece of bridge came not with all drives, so if there are unique drivers they may not work with windows 7 or later.

• laptop won't start windows xp up.error win32k.sys?

  My laptop won't boot windows xp, to ask if I want to start windows normally or with guests orders or network in safe mode. According to what I try nothing works. It says: an error has occurred with win32k.sys. What is - this and how to fix it?

  As you probably know Evesham closed to the public in 2008.

  I think that your computer is a portable computer. I can't access a free copy of the manual, but I imagine that you have a copy of the operating system on the hard drive in a recovery partition. Am I wrong?

  Before attempting to repair your computer, you will need to back up your data files on removable media. If the computer does not start, you need access to a second computer at home. Do you have a? If Yes is it a desktop or a laptop?

  I would also ask if you comfortable using a screwdriver to remove the hard drive of your laptop Evesham, put it on an external support which can be purchased via Amazon and its connection to a USB port on the second computer. These are not difficult tasks, but not everyone wants to take on this task. If not comfortable take your laptop to a local computer repair shop.

  As for the repair of your laptop once you have recovered your data files, restore the operating system to factory settings using the copy of Windows XP, which I think is more than likely in a recovery partition. It will be activated by single key, perhaps the F10 or F11 key or you can have an option in the menu that appears when you press the F8 key during the boot process. It also seems that Evesham commonly supplied recovery discs.

  If a factory restore does not work I would then test the memory.
