My screen resolution is lower.

So I turned on my computer and the resolution is 1280 x 720 and it was higher, I tried to do way back to normal, but it wont let me cross that. Any help?

Hello

If you are unable to get the previous resolution in the settings/personalize/display of the Control Panel, then display card drivers need to be reinstalled or you installed or updated software which is not compatible with a higher resolution.

If you choose to try to install a new set of display drivers, after downloading a new set of manufacturer, first uninstall those existing in configuration/programs and features Control Panel. Restart, then install the new series.

  • Images with lower screen resolutions on Tecra M5 unclear

    Hello

    We have a few M5s with graphics card Intel that works perfectly with the screen resolution of 1024 * 768 usual.
    Now we buy some new ones equipped with nVidia Quadro M5s, and they seem to have a native resolution of 1400 * 1050.

    If I try to measure the resolution 1024 * 768 or 1280 * 1024, the images are badly blurred. But I think that the icons to 1400 * 1050 on a 14 "screen are really too small for the average users.

    No solution?
    Thank you

    Tecra M5 comes with three different views. If you buy one with a higher resolution display, resolution reduced with photo dimmish results.

    Sorry but there is nothing to do. For example, you can connect external monitor with lower resolution.

  • WIndows 7 - can not lower the screen resolution

    I don't know when it happened... apparently, after one of the windows updates because it worked very well, a month or two ago... anyway, here's my problem. A month ago I got the Sims 3 World Adeventures. I installed it and he played wonderfully. I have themselves are involved in the Facebook games and he has not played for a few weeks, but recently decided to go back to the Sims 3. I clicked the shortcut, open Launcher, I clicked on play and my screen went black, then white, then gray, then horizontal strips of red, green and blue, I think that the colors are then complete blue (like the blue BSOD) then he began again, black, white etc. I could alt tab out after a few minutes.  No error message, no beeps and the computer wasn't warm because I had just started before trying to play.

    I'm running on an Acer Aspite Z5600 with touchscreen (its an all-in-one... looks like a monitor etc), Windows Home Premium, 3 gig of ram, op 64 bit, Pentium system dual core, Intel G45/G43 Express chipset. I went to check my graphics settings - the resolution is set in 1920 x 1080 monitor shows a built-in display. I thought that maybe the resolution was causing problems because the Sims 3 do not like this high middle (I never changed it and the game worked before but I thought of one another program may have) when I put the lower resolution and hit apply I had the same changes in strange black on white, etc.. Yet once again, I had to alt tab out... it took forever to do, and my resolution had not changed.  Everything else seems to work fine... my browser and other... I can play some Facebook games and it seems pretty much any game that starts in a window / windowed mode. I changed the settings on the Sims 3 to play in windowed mode and it starts very well (I HATE the windowed mode tho) I decided to do some research and see if I could find a solution later and decided to go play another game, (one of the verizon games I had played before without problem) and he did the same thing as Sims 3 dang. It is a demand pretty weak game graphics-wise (his Poppit to go - even my old laptop can play it.) so having unplayable all of a sudden he had me beat. Color changes look almost like a kind of graphical test. Hope I have not confused LOL thanks everybody for any help.

    I have a reversible temporary solution of 10 steps for this problem, im also using a race of z5600 acer windows 7 and when I try to run anything that changes the resolution of the screen the screen turns black and flashes different colors is a way around this, but you will not be able to use the full screen , and when your done with the game or whatever you will be able to use the full screen new heres how

    1. start

    2 right click computer

    3. click on properties

    4. click on Device Manager

    5. If Conrtol user account appears, click Yes

    6. click on the tab display cards

    7. right click Intel G45/43 Express Chipset

    8. click on turn off

    9. now the display begins to blink and you'll notice that sub-par signifigantly window, you only 3 options for screen resolution size but most of the games will take place and you will be able to see

    10. to make the fullscreen back you will need to follow the same steps as above, then click Activate

  • How to set the lower screen resolution on HP Pavilion

    I'm trying to figure out if its possible to lower my screen resolution of 800 x 600 on my HP Pavilion Sleekbook 14 - b010us running on Windows 8. I need to do that; It is the only way that I can get my pico projector to run using VGA to HDMI - I tried it with my Sony VAIO and it works perfectly. The lowest setting that I see on my HP is 1024 x 768, and it does not work. Any help? Don't want to have to buy a new projector - this one works very well and the HP laptop has a VGA port

    I came across this same issue using the resolution option custom in the Intel driver manager and has had success using mode low resolution.  I had also edited the registry to force more options.  The registry change which resulted in several resolutions between 1366 x 768 and 1024 x 768, but nothing lower.  Windows 8 is not really designed for lower resolutions (at least, which is not the ideal targeted resolutions), so I guess that would be present on any standard notebook Windows 8.

    However, I have relevΘ this site today to make sure I wasn't overlooking anything... and it seems that I was.  I don't know how I didn't have to check the option advanced settings for more resolutions.  This approach does not require mode low resolution to restart, but it's going to require a screen resolution > avancΘs > list all modes to get 800 x 600 option each time you need.

    Let me know if this has answered your questions.

    What is brand and model monitor?

    The resolution, you can use is based on the resolution that your monitor supports. CRT monitors generally display a resolution of 800 × 600 or 1024 × 768 pixels and can work well with different resolutions. LCD monitors, also called flat screens and screens of portable computers often support higher resolutions and better suited to a specific resolution.

  • NB200 - can't change screen resolution

    Hi, I have a strange problem with a netbook NB200.

    The screen resolution is set to 1024 x 768 with the lowest resolution to be together is 800 x 600 as a result no parameter displays correctly on the netbook screen and the Start button, taskbar, etc are missing.

    The native resolution for this machine must be 1024 x 600 - however, it is not available in the list of troubleshooting steps that can be chosen.

    Here are the steps that have been taken so far;

    (1) to restore the machine to resolution of parameters - the parameters of origin of wiping machine - factory defaults to 1024 x 768
    (2) load the latest version of the BIOS just to see if the BIOS had an impact - don't think it would, but I tried anyway.
    (3) the adapter graphic to uninstall and reinstall the Toshiba europe site (intel 945 mobile (r) express chipset)
    Graphic adapter installed okay more low resolution is 800 x 600 and 1024 x 600 option is not available.
    4) noted that the default monitor is still listed as "digital flat panel 1024 x 768".

    At present, the only way to use it is with an external monitor.

    For now it doesn't help as a netbook - someone has any ideas to try because I am running out of ideas with this one.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi foxpc123,

    All that you have done is correct and you have tried everything, but if the factory settings doesn't help reset and screen resolution is automatically 1024 x 768, again, he must a serious malfunction of equipment. I can imagine something with the graphics card itself is not okay and so the monitor properties can t be detected correctly.

    You need to contact a service provider authorized in your country. Guys can check the equipment and replace it. I put t know how old is your notebook and if it s under warranty, but the warranty repair material is free. This means that technicians can fix that for free, but if not, you will have to pay for the repair.

    So the easiest way is you contact with the guys and talk to them. I m that you can clarify this with the technicians. ;)
