• After each start up, screen resolution changes

  Under Windows XP.  I replaced my hard drive and since this event, my screen resolution changed.  When I change it back, it's OK for the rest of this session, but then, after a reboot, it is back.  I need to change once again.   How do I 'Finalize' my change to the resolution I want?  Maybe I did something wrong with the installation on the new hard drive.  Any suggestions?

  Thank you

• Screen resolution changes

  Hey guys,.

  My screen resolution changes while I use my computer. The text is the most notable, change to a lower resolution. It seems to happen when I'm using the Windows Explorer, but it's pretty random. Sometimes, the icons in the system tray will disappear too. For example, I have a file open, with a list of files, the screen flickers, the solution of problems and some of the graphics and icons disappear or are corrupt. So if I move my mouse over the names of files, they go back to the right size and resolution. So I might end up with half of the text to the right size and the rest all messed up.

  I use Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 on a Toshiba Satellite T110. I recently updated the driver of the CPU, Chipset, and I see that I have enough RAM. I deleted the software, run virus scans, malware scans, registry scans, lower resolution and changed the display settings and Windows Update, but it still happens. As I said, it happens randomly enough, it'll be fine for a while, and the only constant I can see, it's that happens when I use Windows Explorer. Any ideas on what to do next?

  

  

  Usually after installing a chipset driver a restart is required, so it may of happened after I installed the driver but should not happen after a restart or the next time you turn on your computer.

• Screen resolution changes automatically

  Hello, I just installed Windows 7 Home Premium in my Toshiba Satellite M200 Notebook 2 weeks. And it seems that I have a problem with my VGA (Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset Family).

  Sometimes, when I am trying to boot up my laptop and Windows displays the login screen, my screen resolution change to lower resolution. After login, the problem remains the same more Windows to disable Aero. But if I restart my laptop, the problem disappeared. It seems impossible to load the VGA driver during Windows startup.

  I already re - install the VGA driver (had 8.15.10.1912 version of Windows update), also install driver latest Intel yesterday (8.15.10.1930) but they have the same problem this morning. I never had this problem with Windows Vista.

  In addition, in my startup program, I only charge 5 applications: Kaspersky AV HD Audio Control Panel and Intel 3 program (shortcut icon from the bar and screen resolution utility)

  Any help will be appreciated.

  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.

• Screen resolution changes in contrast to Connexion2

  That is the question:

  When I goto log in my computer, the contrast is always set to high. I return to normal and open a session or to stop, but when I go back to the login screen is the high contrast settings.

  Its been like this for three years.
  It all started when I was wondering what high contrast, clicked on the button, applied and then tried to put it back but it wouldn't.

  I have windows vista on an HP Pavilion

  I won't tell you to go into Control Panel, because I already tried and it didn't work.

  I can't reset my computer is out of the question as well!

  I'm looking for a patch that I can download to fix this!

  your ANSWER is wrong, the last time, I ask once again, this time, don't say not the following:

  Have you made changes to the computer before the issue occur?

  Try the following steps.
  a. right click on an empty space on your desktop, select "Customize".
  b. click on "Windows color and appearance".
  c. click on "appearance properties classic open for more color options".
  d. Select a "color thΦme" other than one of the elements 'high contrast '...
  e. click OK

  If this did not help, so if your display driver has added an extension on the desktop, right click menu, then you might want to try this way to see if perhaps your display driver applies its own 'High contrast' settings.

• Tecra M9: After Vista standy, screen resolution changes automatically

  Hello

  I use a Tecra M9 with Vista SP 1. The current display to the nVidia Quadro VNS 130 M graphics card driver is 7.15.11.126
  My native resolution is 1440 x 900, 32-bit color. (the resolution of the screen)
  Sometimes, when the computer comes out of standby, the resolution changes after the sequence to connect to 1280 x 800 and stays that way. I have to manually change back to 1440 x 900. This isn't always happens, but say all of 1 times 2 the computer wakes from sleep.

  What is a (faulty) driver problem?

  Perhaps this problem could be related to the graphics driver.

• R7000 can't access admin page and IP DHCP address range changed on its own

  I noticed recently that my IP range internal from 192.168.1. * to 10.0.1 on its own. I think I got the router configured to auto update to new firmware, so I think that it updated itself and change its settings. When I try to access the admin page that nothing loads. I tried 10.0.1.1 and 192.168.1.1 and nothing comes up. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem recently. I will be eventually provided to the factory settings and set it back up like that, but I'm hoping to exhaust my options before you go this route. Any ideas?

  I was able to determine the cause. He I warned when you say IP changes when there is a second device with DHCP. I noticed there was some new computers on my network when I watched the network file share. I use the Netgear Powerline device to do wired connections to my living room. What I think has happened is that my recently developed neighbouring apartment unit in place the internet and also uses a feature of current line. I noticed that my DNS suffix changed to a different address, which is the ISP instead of my router. I put 2 and 2 together and realized that my network was overlaps sound via the Powerline. I have never set up an encryption key on the Powerline online so it was still using the default settings and connecting to my neighbors by current carrier. When I added the encryption key, the problem disappeared and my network returned to normal. Next time I should follow the instructions when setting up new network equipment. Oops

• screen resolution changed after Windows update

  PC: Dell Vostro 220 s

  OS: Windows XP Professional SP3

  Monitor: Dell 2009WFP LCD, is the native resolution of 1680 x 1050 (according to CNET review)

  Problem: After an automatic update of Windows, my screen resolution has been changed to 800 x 600, where the police has been huge and fuzzy on the screen.  Then, I realize now the display settings only have 5 options, 800 x 600, 1024 x 768, 1280 x 1024, 1600 x 1200 and 1920 x 1440.  The last of them is out of range.  So I put it to 1600 x 1200, but everything on the screen appears stretched.

  I tried system 1) at the earliest days of restoration, 2) unplug the monitor and reconnect the monitor, the monitor 3) download the Dell Web site WFP2009 driver, nothing works.

  Nothing has similar problems, how do I get the near resolution of 1680 x 1050, which is classified to the native resolution for this monitor according to the CNET Web site, and I vaguely remember what the maximum resolution in the display settings.

  Appreciate any help.  Thanks in advance.

  Hi mumimi,

  It seems that your system was shipped with Intel graphics card. As several drivers are appearing with exclamation points, I would say that you can download the latest drivers here-> enter the serial number of your system-> select OS--> download/install drivers in good order as given here.

  Please respond to the findings. He won't be far away.

  Windows 7 Home Premium PC

  THAT IS TO SAY 11

  I did add something new to my pc.  It started randomly happening...

  What I've noticed, is my computer will be stronger, as it is to wrap upward and the CPU goes crazy.

  After that research around these things, I noticed happen when this noise starts and the CPU going nuts:

  -Under Internet Security my settings changed on their own to custom

  (I then change them back only to have this all happen again minutes later)

  -When this is happening and I'm going under dllhost.exe Task Manager suddenly over 15 years * 32 Com alternatives pop up all at the same time

  I do stop by changing my Internet Security properties to default and putting an end to the tree of processes all the dllhost.exe * 32 Com substitutes.

  Then, about 5 or 10 minutes later it happens again. This has happened in recent days.  I ran safely scan and it found some VirToolWin32 - CeeInject.gen! KK (linked in Adobe Updater). This VirTool:MSIL/injector.BF has been removed but all that I mentioned above is still ongoing.

  I have apprecitate your answer. Thank you

  It arrived today.  I checked the updates as soon as I logged in and it was so maybe that fixed the issue.

  I'll keep the links you posted and use them to check everything. I am running the Microsoft Safety Scanner again now, I ran it yesterday and he did not find anything.

  Another weird thing, all my update history disappeared. It says updated, ever. Now it only shows the update one alone that I did when I opened a session today.

• keyboard changed on its own!

  I have a MacBook Air 3.1 (OS X 10.6.8).) These days many of the keys on my keyboard have changed meaning (on their own!). The letters are OK, but punctuation, parentheses, accents etc seem to comply with some other keyboard. If I go to System Preferences and then the keyboard I donat see a way to change things. I tried to do a reset SMC, but in vain. What can I do? Thank you

  HE'S

  Have you checked the system preferences > keyboard > input methods.  On the left column, do you have what language selected?

  Ciao.
