my screen has shrunk from black on the edges

my screen has decreased and there like 2 inches of black around the edges, its really annoying! Please can someone help?

Hello

It is probably descended from your display settings.

You can right click Desktop and select Personalize. Click settings to display at the bottom. Try a higher setting which corresponds to what you monitor can handle.

If for some reason, this does not work, your graphics driver may need to update.

Click on start and type > devmgmt.msc

In graphics cards are you looking for the adapter name and manufacturer. Go to the website of the company to download the latest driver for the adapter.

I hope this helps!

    Only products of Apple of love before updating the version 9.0.2

    iOS 9.0.2 happened some time. The last iOS is iOS 9.2. If you have not updated, updated. If you restored to the factory, it must have downloaded iOS 9.2. Also, if you restore to the factory and the problem is still there, then you must make an appointment at the Genius Bar to the nearest Apple store or Apple authorized service provider or call the Apple Support to have the device examined by Apple. There seems to be something wrong with the screen.

  • White screen when resume from hibernation when the graph is active (DM4)

    I configured and purchased a HP DM4t with 512MB ATI Mobility Radeon (TM) HD 5450 switchable graphicst.  My problem is that when the laptop goes to sleep (for example when I close the lid), it will sleep for a while (I think his suffering at 6 p.m.), after which she'll take back and hibernate itself (hybrid sleep option).  I like this feature because it allows to save battery power, however, when I try to resume from hibernation when the ATI Radeon graphics card is active, all I get is a black screen.  I can connect using the fingerprint reader, (I hear Windows making the connected to the carillon), but I don't see anything on my screen.  If I do this same scenario using the Intel graphics card, I will not have this problem.

    I called HP tech support and their solution was to disable hybrid sleep feature.  I was not satisfied with this solution, because it does not save the battery of the laptop must sleep for a long time.  My solution is to disable auto graphics card change, and I just go to the ATI Radeon manually if necessary.  The problem with my solution is that it forces me to remember to turn off the discrete graphics when I'm actually (I tend to forget).

    Is there a solution to this problem that will allow me to use the gfx ATI card AND the hybrid auto sleep function?

    I was finally able to update ATI graphics driver on my laptop.  This seems to have solved my out of the hibernation problem.  The version of the driver that I'm on is 8.741.1.1000 with a date of version of 21/06/2010.

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

    If no joy please update your video/display driver using these methods.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your
    System. For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load
    address of the driver, description, version, product name, company that created the
    pilot and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    To check system drivers manufacturer as replacements and camera manufacturer who are most
    current. Control Panel - device - Display Adapter Manager - note the brand and
    fill out the template tab of the driver for your card video - double-click - write down the
    the version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind
    certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver
    stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if
    3rd party with their own software and drivers and the other main device drivers you
    a.

    Now, go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration), and then
    Site of the manufacturer of the device (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest
    versions. (Search for updates to the BIOS, Chipset and software on the site of the manufacturer of the system while)
    it.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN -.
    REBOOT after each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you install
    actually arises. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed
    (particularly that audio drivers) so install a driver - reboot - check is to be sure
    installed and repeat if necessary.

    Repeat BTW to the manufacturers - manufacturers of devices DO WORK DO NOT THEIR SCANNER-
    manually check by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable driver facilities in
    Windows updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it won't install drivers
    who will be generally older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver can
    HIDE (right click on it) and then go get new ones manually if you wish.

  • Half of my screen has low resolution and/or the contrast that the other half

    Greetings!

    The left side of the screen on my laptop seems normal with a high resolution and brightness, while the right side of the screen seems darker as it has a higher contrast and is more degraded it has a lower resolution... it looks almost like a demo of tv showing the difference between the high and low definition.

    Does anyone have an idea on how to get the screen of the same search on the screen?  The general change the appearance of the screen and return to an earlier date before that I messed up my computer did not work.
    Thanks in advance!

    See you soon!

    Could be a hardware failure on the laptop.

    One thing to try as a test is to start from a 'live' as Ubuntu OS (for example), just start it DO NOT install it. See - http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/try-ubuntu-before-you-install - for more details. This should hopefully allow you to see if the screen works well or not in another OS, if it looks OK in Ubuntu, then its less likely to be a hardware problem. But if the screen is still divided, then unfortunately, it could be a hardware failure.

    Other things to try eventually (in no particular order):

    1. set to update your graphics card drivers to the latest compatible drivers available for your laptop, where they have been corrupted somehow.

    2 - is still divided into 'safe mode' or is it OK to whom?

    3. If you look in Device Manager, it shows errors regarding the graphics/display/monitor card?

    4. There is this fixit - http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Windows_Display_Quality_Diagnostics/ - in the center of MS fixit who can be worth it. But I doubt it.

    5. If this just started recently, try a restore point for just before it occurred.

    Assuming that you have already tried to change the screen resolution and depth etc color settings and then restore the default values, you need.

  • Screen has no light, but under the flashlight, I see it works

    Suddenly, the screen backlight is gone and the screen is completely black.

    But while I manually turn the flashlight on a screen, somehow I can see the display shows everthing correctly.

    There's just no light completely.

    What's wrong? I tried all types of keyboard resets, removing the battery and etc... without success...

    I heard that maybe the HARDWARE problem (fuse WLED or backlight). is this true?

    If Yes, can you screenshot a good resolution of the images, to see where WLED DRIVER or BACKLIGHT FUSE is located (I have macbook pro, 2013), and also, where I can buy (e.g. ebay links to this parts)?

    Thanks in advance

  • Recently installed last software update. He changed his screen background Photo from black to white. How can I change this back

    ElCapitan update macOS/Sierra tonight.  Photo open.  Wallpaper (behind photos) used to be black, now it is white.  How can I get this back to black?

    I believe the Photos app exactly the same under MacOS Sierra there as it did under OS X El Capitan on the background color.

    The background color is (and was) white when usually browsing photos.  But when you edit a picture, the background color turns black.

    To edit in the Photos under MacOS Sierra app, press the circle button.  (This button is used to say "Change" under OS X El Capitan).  You will then see the black background.

  • Screen has decided to expand on the Satellite

    Today, I turned on my laptop and for some reason the screen decided to expand. Basically what is happening, it's that I have to move the mouse up or down up/down (a bit like press the edge of the screen) of the screen to see is the top of the window (window of the browser, for example) or downwards (taskbar). Physically, the screen goes up and down so I don't see the entire page in any point! I checked my display settings that look normal (ratio is 1280 x 1024) and tried to restore my PC to previous day that does not help :-(

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    I think that the resolution of 1280 x 1024 is not normal for laptops, it is typical for 17 "-19" conventional screens. " I don't know why this is so, but since 1024 x 768 (most likely the right one for you, unless you have a widescreen model) laptops tend to have special resolutions, such as 1400 x 1050.
