Need to reset the external monitor resolution in Windows Vista

Stupidly, I changed the resolution of my new external monitor on my laptop to a not available (single mode external monitor) and received a message on the screen: "out of range" + white screen. No matter how hard I tried, I can't use one external monitor mode and must live with double display (which is a waste of energy on my tiny laptop screen). Could someone tell me please how to reset the resolution setting in Vista for the external monitor?

Hello

Welcome to the Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

You can try the steps below and check if the problem is resolved.

You can go to the control panel of the screen and reset it to factory settings.

And if you face the same problems, then, you must contact your system provider who will be in a better position to help you reset the external screen to its default state.

As a workaround, so check you have function keys on your portable computer, which can go from a monitor to your laptop and external monitor.

If Yes, then try to return to the screen of the laptop and turn off the external monitor.

Hope this information is useful.

Thank you, and in what concerns:

  • W530 need to use the external monitor as the main

    I have a training environment with the help of portable computers W530, who are locked in a box in front of the offices. It is not practical to reach the computer as it's hidden and so I need to use the dvi cable external monitor for the configuration of the bios, boot order, etc..

    Currently, boot options are hidden from the external screen until windows loads. The external monitor would then become active. A way around the monitor to the laptop altogether?

    Thank you

    Russ

    VGA is driven by Nvidia, so apply the same parameters. Comes to the boot monitor in VGA BIOS (I forgot what we call this specific setting, as my W530 is at home). You should always pass nvidia Optimus only.

  • Equium A110-252: the display on the external monitor resolution

    When I connect my LCD TV screen to my new satellite A110-252 using the external monitor port does not fit the image of the (too big) TV screen.

    I've tried everything on orders for establishment of TV screen but no joy. Surely, there must be an option to fit to the screen on satellite? Can anyone help?

    Thank you Perry.

    Hi there, you are using the external monitor port or the S-Video? Unfortunately, if you use the S-video port you can hold all of Office on television because it is technically impossible (without deleting the lines).

    TV less than number of rows than a computer monitor: PAL = 576 visible lines, NTSC = 480 visible lines except if you can pass in 640 x 480 mode 800 x 600 is the best that you can use to display an image on the TV.

  • The external monitor resolution not supported on Satellite Pro U400

    I want to connect an external monitor running at 1440 x 900, but the built-in driver does not offer this resolution and the display is very blurry.
    I think that the Intel driver this will lead, but the computer complains that it is not verified for use and will not be installed.

    Anyone had any joy getting this working?
    Charles

    Unfortunately, this is because of the limitation of the driver.
    What should do? What you can do is to install a non-Toshiba graphics card driver but also, this isn't the best idea.

    Third party graphic driver can have a negative influence on the features of the graphics card and allow him to work without limitation. It may end with overheating or material damage.
    So think twice before doing this.

  • Do you need to partition the hard drive to install Windows Vista Home Premium?

    I try to install Vista Home Premium on a Dell XPS 420 desktop computer and want to know if the hard disk must be partitioned before that I can do?

    If I need to, how to do?

    Thank you.

    You need at least a partition on the hard drive before you install OS, using management of build-in the windows disk, but there a lot of limit, if it could not reach your goal, you could use the 3rd party freeware

  • How to reset the default monitor on Acer 2920, computer laptop think always connected to an external monitor

    Hello, I hope you can help me! I have a laptop Aspire 2920 with Windows Vista Home Edition O.S. It starts and works fine except that after I used it with an external monitor (a tv screen) on the possibility of using the external monitor, it only now starting to think that the monitor is the flat screen tv and doesn't recognize the normal screen of the laptop. The laptop screen is now "pixeled" and shows only like 2/3 of its total width. I checked in Control Panel and it has recorded as the 'normal' monitor flat screen, but I can't way a find to tell the computer that the monitor is the same as usual and not the flat screen tv. Thank you!!!

    Dear Lawrence,

    I ve solved the problem.

    Do you have your suggestion to reset and did not work, but keeping your idea, I hooked to an external monitor, mounted in Control Panel, remove the "non-existent" monitor in the device section.

    At this point, I had no image at all in the laptop and only the external monitor.

    Turn off the computer and then reset the power supply.

    Because the computer did not all other monitors, he then had to use the one by default with the default resolution, etc..

    Thanks, it was a great help!

  • Refresh rate of the external monitor (closed macbook) reset

    Hello

    Im very new to OS X, I have a macbook air 13 "that I have it plugged into my external monitor acer, when he was in closed mode (clamshell) I changed frequency by accident and now I can't change this back as the ' entry is not displayed. How can I change the refresh rate of the external monitor when the settings show only if the macbook is closed? As I said, I'm new so I am not very confident through many parameters, any help is appreciated.

    If you have previously enabled "Screen sharing" Preferences-> sharing system then you can use another Mac to control this Mac and change it to one that works remotely.

    You could 'open' the Mac to use its built-in screen and then be able to change the settings of the external monitor.

    You can try to reset the setting by following the steps listed here Re: how to restore the display settings

  • Satellite P300 - display resolution incorrect if the external monitor is connected

    I wanted to use a monitor BENQ of WAP 2010 with my Satellite P300 laptop operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit.

    When I connect it, the display resolution changes to an unusable.
    I installed the latest ATI drivers that I downloaded from the Toshiba site. Max screen resolution is 1680 x 1050. This resolution no longer exists after the connection of the monitor.

    Also, I can't set the correct resolution for the LCD display of the laptop more.

    How set up the screen, so that the monitor displays a clone of the LCD screen for laptop and find the correct resolution?

    Hello

    > Max monitor resolution is 1680 x 1050. This resolution no longer exists after the connection of the monitor.
    Please understand that not all possible solutions are supported by a graphics card chip or a graphics card driver.
    If one of the parts mentioned would not support this resolution then you will not be able to choose and use the external monitor!

    In your case, I recommend the manual of your laptop.
    There you can find a list of available external resolutions and supported.

  • How to find out the resolution of the external monitor max on Satellite Pro A100-02Y

    I have a Satellite Pro A100-02Y.

    I want to launch an external monitor but don't have any idea how big a monitor will deal graphics drivers. How will I know?

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello

    You should keep one fact in mind that the available screen resolution depends on the graphics card and the graphics card driver.
    If I'm not mistaken, you can find the max somewhere graphics card resolution information in the user manual.

    But note; If the graphics card driver does not support you favorite resolution then you will not be able to use and to choose!

    In the properties of the graphics card, you can find the available screen are supported by GPU driver resolutions.
    Usually these resolutions could be used on the external monitor, but only if the external monitor takes care of everything.

    Best regards

  • Qosmio X 305-bad image on the external monitor quality

    My x 305-701 has excellent image on the original monitor, but if I connect the laptop to Acer 22 ' VGA cable I get a blurry image on the external monitor only.

    It does not matter if I use two monitors at the same time or just the Acer, the external monitor is always blurred the laptop monitor is always perfect. I tried the external monitor in 1440 x 900 and 1680 x 1050 and have adjusted the frequency of refresh of all available parameters, 59 Hz, 60 Hz and 75 Hz, and the blurred image is still there.

    I love this Qosmio and appreciate it even more on the widescreen monitor any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I know that LCD screens are blurry if set to non-native resolution. I think you need to set the correct resolution for the external monitor. Check your external display native resolution and set in display settings.

  • Half the Office disappears when you unplug the external monitor

    I have a MacBook (early 2011) with a single office shared between two monitors - with one hand on the internal screen and the other half on a Dell 23 inch. The Dell is my first when I use both at the same time. Until a few months ago, when I unplugged the external monitor, all windows automatically appears in the monitor to the laptop, including the menu bar and dock.

    After an operating system upgraded a few dos systems (I'm on version of El Capitan.6), when I unplug the screen seems not to register - in other words, the left side of my office, including the menu bar and the dock, and all the apps that were there just to disappear. So my laptop seems to think that the other view is always connected and direct, unless I restart with the detached monitor. (I unchecked 'Displays have separated spaces') in Mission Control.

    Is that what I can do to force the Office to redesign the internal screen? (Note that the display is a Dell S2330MX, which seem not to support any Mac OS - so who could answer the question here.) Thank you

    I've known who issues from time to time, try to close and reopen the lid, which needs to redraw your office.

    * Hi-speed III Port Replicator is not an option, because it is not available in my country (Croatia).

    Hello

    I don t think you will be able to connect two external monitors to this laptop using HDMI and RGB port at the same time because of different types of signals.

    The RGB/VGA port supports analog signal.

    The HDMI port provides the digital video output and when the external monitor is connected to the HDMI port the device is set to HDMI.

  • Satellite Pro L360-14F - cannot play videos on the external monitor

    Toshiba Satellite Pro L360-14F
    Video files as avi, flv, mp4 are played with SM-player etc on the screen of the laptop, but not on the external monitor attached.
    A newspaper there is the error message: MPlayer crashed by the bath OF CPU/FPU/RAM usage.

    Which may mean that?

    You already go to the external display by using the FN + F5 keys?
    To do this.

    In addition, you must go first to the external screen and then you need to start the windows media player or other video player.

    I advise to use the VLC Player. It s free fro and plays most of the files
