picture on my monitor is huge

I had to use my recovery disc on my windows xp desktop. Now the image on my monitor is huge and when I go into Control Panel, settings not offer or don't allow me to change the display resolution. No choice. All buttons or tabs associated changes are empty.  What do I need?

After installing XP, have you installed video drivers? After installation, you should be able to change your resolution.

Download video drivers

Visit the manufacturer's Web site and select your model (this is usually done in the Support section). You should be able to download drivers for your model if they have drivers for your version of Windows. Download the driver and then follow the instructions to install.

  • Qosmio X 500 - 13R: picture on external monitor with resolution 2560 x 1440 is blurred

    Hi all

    I have a computer laptop X 500 - 13R Toshiba Qosmio, although 2 years, still a great piece of hardware.

    I just bought a new monitor 27 "U2713HM which supports a resolution of 2560 x 1440.

    Computer video card notebook (GTX 460 m) supports a resolution higher than through a digital connection, so I used a HDMI cable to connect.

    Via Control Panel Nvidia, I could create a custom resolution, but the image is not clear / is blurred.
    It is readable, but it's just not everything.

    Tried with HDMI 1.4, without success.
    I volunteered to connect through Dual Link DVI cable, but the phone doesn't have a DVI connector, and I doubt the adapter will help.

    Anyone has a suggestion how to fix this problem?

    Thank you.

    I would like to share my experience using an external monitor with a HDMI cable.
    My monitor supports both HDMI and DVI port.
    First of all, I plugged my laptop on the external monitor using a HDMI cable to HDMI.
    But the fonts and the picture was not clear. I used the resolution 1920 x 1080

    Then I went to the DVI port. I plugged the laptop s HDMI port to monitor s port DVI (HDMI/DVI cable) and that solved my problem.

  • Satellite Pro P100: losing picture on external monitor when using the DVI - D connection

    Guys,

    I have a Samsung SyncMaster 940MW LCD TV and a Satellite Pro P100 (Geforce Go 7600), recently I bought a DVI - D cable to link them together.

    Now the problem is that when I connected to 1400 x 900 LCD TV screen goes to a black screen several times (usually when there is a lot of activity or I'm resizing windows to the maximum to the minimum).

    Now, I would have thought it would be the LCD TV doesn't do not signal or refresh rate however I connected using a VGA cable and its fine - no problem just no matter how much I minimize my windows or put a lot of activity on the screen. To complicate matters even more, when I run the screens in "Dual screen" mode instead of "Clone" if I put one of them 1400 x 900 to 59hz in 16 bit it works fine...?

    Can someone help please that it made my head that I can't understand what the hell is the cause!

    I've included a list below all the different resolutions / screen modes I tried it and the result.

    Thanks for your time & help.

    Craig.

    Hello

    I hope that you have enabled user s manual supplied with your device. On page 148, you will find a very interesting picture on the supported display resolution.

    I have to be honest with you and say that I am no expert DVI because my LCD doesn't have this port, just HDMI but if I have understood you as soon as you have problem with a resolution of 1440 x 900 only. This resolution is not listed as supported, and I presume that it is not unusual to have a problem.

    Sorry, but I think that you should use maximum supported only resolution 1280 x 1024.

  • Portege R600-13Z - flickering picture on external monitor

    Hi support them!

    I own an ASUS VW224 VGA monitor and a Portege R600 13Z. Is the native resolution of 1680 x 1050 and directly on VGA cable (do not know if there is a docking station). GPU driver date is 31.03.2010 version 8.15.10.2104 (newest I think).

    The problem is that the screen is blinking. The darker the area displayed the strongest flicker is perceived. It's a "horizontal flicker", like the horizontal lines are pursuing each other up and down the screen. It is very annoying.

    Since the laptop screen itself or the monitor with another computer ASUS show any flickers, I think that the problem is rooted in the described configuration interaction. I can set different settings on the monitor itself. Related to the problem could be 50 and 54 of Phase clock.

    Windows tells me in config monitor refresh rate is 60. However, refresh rates and clock can be set to the same without change.

    The meaning of phase I don't know.
    Any ideas to solve the problem?

    See you soon!

    I think that it comes to the grounding of s.
    Please check if the flicker would be available using the battery power.

    I've been reading about such symptoms on external monitors.
    In most cases the use of the power supply cable 3 cord would solve this problem.

  • How can I Center the picture on my monitor?

    I'm not able to see my straight my screen thre controls. There is also a black band to the leftof the monitor.

    Please help me to position the image correctly.

    Thank you

    On the front, below or on the side of your screen, there should be several buttons that you can use to access the menu of the monitors.

    In the menu screen, look for the option to move the image horizontally and vertically and set it up until the image fits properly on your screen. Each monitor is a bit different for this process, so I can't give exact directions - see the manual for more details.

    Hello diesel,.

    1. have you tried to change the resolution of the computer?

    It seems to me that the resolution of the computer is changed after you disconnected the projector. I suggest changing the resolution and check if you have the same problem.

    You can also connect the projector again and check if you have the same problem.

    Hello Imtrav,

    You have probably inadvertently, you press a combination of keys that changed the orientation of your screen.

    You can try pressing the CTRL with the BOTTOM TOP/arrow keys to see if this will bring (you may also try the arrow keys left and right, if this does not work). Otherwise, go into Control Panel and look for your graphics card Control Panel (if you have an NVidia card, it will be a NVidia Control Panel, if you have an ATI card, it will be something like ATI Catalyst). Click on your graphics card Control Panel icon, and once the graphics card Control Panel opened the eyes of an option "to rotate the screen. You will then be able to change the screen from portrait to landscape.

  • The appearance of sharpness of the Image on the monitor / cropping picture

    Question n ° 1

    It is a problem I've had with all versions of Photoshop.

    Sizing up a picture on the monitor has a strong influence on the sharpness of the image appears.

    If you click on the button of the screen adjustment, the image always loses considerable sharpness.

    However, if you click on the little top and down sizing triangles under Image Navigator (side of the app), it chooses sizes that faithfully reproduce the sharpness of the image (what it will look like when printed). The problem is that it is too small (less than "screen adjustment"), or too large (larger than "screen adjustment").

    Has anyone experienced this frustrating niggle and found a solution?

    Cropping

    When cropping a picture, the image appears to move non-adjustable in increments, which means that sometimes you cannot the frame on site exactly where you want. Does anyone know how to fix or configure this?

    Thank you!!

    There is something basic that you should take into consideration.  The only time where Photoshop displays your actual images when pixels you zoom in you picture view to 100%.   If the Image zoom level is not not 100% that you don't look at your actual image.  Your viewing a version to scale your image. Photoshop quickly scaling allows you to work on your image.  Its rapid scaling, not a fact using the best possible interpolation.  Indeed to some values of percentage of zoom that you see sounds quite bad. It's not your image.  When you work on a Photoshop image scales that you do the sized to your image size image real. That's how the scale works. Don't judge sharpness of the image, unless you look at one of your pixels real images zoom 100%.

    You should be able to reframe the exact size you want. You must know how the rectangle selection tool use and the crop tool and manually type in the exact size you want.  You must be careful with the crop tool, it can easily crop and resize the crop.  No matter when you resample a picture, you lose image quality, or throw you have images you create details you have no details.

  • Qosmio G30 - black screen on external monitor

    Qosmio G30 (PQG32E) under Vista Home Premium, driver NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600, 7.15.10.9813

    I can't get a picture on a monitor external (I tried two different monitors). More precisely:

    "Windows Mobility Center" will recognize that a monitor is connected
    "NVIDIA Control Panel - Display Change Configuration" will recognize the external monitor ('Select poster that you want to use' shows 'Display of the laptop + Sony SDM-HS73', which is the monitor plugged in ext)
    but no matter what configuration I try using Fn + F5 or change of display Configuration, I can't do anything but a black (backlight) display on the external monitor.

    The monitor is receiving a video signal correctly: when he is off in laptop only the setting Fn + F5, it displays a warning 'no signal', but when turned on again I just get black.

    I tried to change the resolution for the external monitor settings. They exactly match the native resolution of the monitor. Still nothing.
    I tried 'Clone' and 'Dual View' mode.
    Tried various different orders to turn on the computer laptop and monitor, Plug and unplug the device, etc.

    Having installed the latest driver for the Toshiba (see above) site. Have NOT tried to install any other driver from NVIDIA site, as she warns to use Toshiba - but that's worth a try?

    The clean laptop screen and all other aspects of the video are very good.

    It worked ok in the past (I think that before I did the upgrade to Vista when it was still on XP).
    Should I just wait for another update of Toshiba driver and maybe Vista SP1?

    I really hope this isn't a hardware problem, because the monitor is recognized etc...

    Jonathan

    What port you used?
    The (analog) external monitor port or the output port D-video?

    View as far as I know that if you used the external monitor (analog) port, then you should choose analog in the nVidia-> current view

    Then, you can use the FN + F5 key to switch between the two views.

  • DMA2200 on PC-monitor does not work?

    Hello

    Well I have except the fact that the DMA2200 support not the VOB files, that the dvd drive is not region free and I had to reverse the mistakes of codes avi using the FourCC change codec, I'm surprised that I'm not able to see anything on a standard PC monitor.

    At first, I plugged the Componet video output (Y, Pb, Pr) of my DMA2200 directly on the vga input of the monitor (Dell 1900FP) with a cable special nine, but I saw just nothing more than a black screen. I changed the monitor for a LG Flatron L222WS monitor told me that the frequency was out of reach... Certain signals does not cross?

    But as the DMA2200 has a HDMI output that welland the Dell1900FP supports DVI - D Dual Link entry too, I. The 1900FP has a resolution of 1280 x 1024 and it can be run up to 75 Hz, 60 Hz it's native refresh rate. So, I went back to the store and bought a HDMI<->DIV - D Single Link cable.

    Only one? Yes, why not!

    DVI dual link as its name suggests has drivers more than the single link DVI for signal transmission. Single link DVI supports a maximum bandwidth of 165 MHz (1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz, 1280 x 1024 at 85 Hz) and use 12 of the 24 pins available. Dual link DVI uses all 24 pins available and supports a maximum bandwidth 2 x 165 MHz (2048 x 1536 at 60 Hz, 1920 x 1080 at 85 Hz).

    So, I plugged the HDMI<->DVI - D on the DMA2200, the Dell1900FP monitor and the monitor directly on channel 2: digital input. But... a black screen again. As I left the monitor rescanning the entrance, he tells me "Please press any key of the mouse button. It seems that the monitor sees a digital signal, but expected more... hmm... what to do?

    I tried to use NTSC (instead of our PAL) on the DMA2200 menu as the frequency changes, but it does not work. I also used all of the selections of entry on the DMA2200-menu (like composite-sd and hd). Normally, the HDMI options is grayed out and uses the default Auto option; but in composite-hd, my old TV mode (connected by SCART) turns black, but can still use the menu on the screen before the DMA and am able to change the HDMI settings, like 480 720 (if I remember correctly) and 1080 p (progressive format) and 1080i (interlaced). I hoped a solution here, but maybe it's just not my day.

    Then.

    Y at - there anyone out there that can help me to get a picture on the monitor? Whether vga or dvi - d... Please...

    Your Dell LCD and DMA2200 not being able to understand/sync between them with a direct DVI connection you could try to put a device inbetween them so that your Setup program can work. Try this device, basically, you connect the DMA2200 using RCA cables to the KWorld device and this KWorld device is then connected to your Dell LCD screen.

    See you soon.

  • My second monitor lost functions of the menu and the image.

    Original title: monitors identified with reverse pilots

    I upgraded my second monitor.  After loading the new driver for it, he was assigned to the old monitor and the new monitor is now the old driver.  Features on the old monitor do not work and I had to make the new monitor my primary monitor. It's ok but the old monitor lost functions of the menu and the picture is now crap.  Also, when I open PS it is said that the profile of the monitor is deffective. I ran the calibration software, but that did not fix it.

    It looks like this: in the display settings, in the drop down menu below the pictures of the monitors, number 1, said SyncMaster 2443BWT on NVIDIA GeForce GT 9599.  Number 2, said SyncMaster digital S23A350H on NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT

    This is backwards.  How can I get the correctly identified.  or is it important.

    Thanks for any help.

    Loïc

    I ended up uninstalling the driver for the 23 "and disconnect.  This put the 24 "at number 1 and automatically back to the only driver left, 24".  Then restarted with the 23 '' reconnected.  It assigned the pilot generic and in fact number 2. Yes the 23 "works very well on the generic driver and I have the right driver for the 24" so I'll leave well enough alone...  I had downloaded the drivers from the monitor on the Samsung website according to the instructions on my cd that came with them.   I never thought to check the updates on my nvidia graphics card.

    Thank you very much for this information.  I'll do this and keep my fingers crossed he doesn't mess up something else.  This Vista is so tempermental.

  • Get computer but monitor TV receives no signal

    Original title: have Vista.  Computer powers place but will not be start/login/boot...or some.

    My daughter has a compaq laptop, windows 7.  Computer has been previously damaged.  Computer screen has cracked, so used a TV for the monitor using the appropriate cable.  She says a virus has attacked and shut down his computer.  Now it turns on, but the TV shows no signal.

    How to open computer in "safe mode" or some other way with a key of F?   I'm not a computer expert, but it can follow the detailed instructions.

    The keyboard shortcut that turns on an additional display varies depending on your mobile PC manufacturer. It usually involves a keyboard shortcut, such as FN + F4 or FN + F5 is used for this purpose on many laptops. The keys are used to switch between monitors, i.e. on the first combination, that turns OFF the second monitor, leaving the first monitor (laptop), on the second it turns ON the second monitor but turns OFF the first (portable), the third he light up both monitors. Find the F key with the picture of the monitor. Do the key combinations when the hard disk activity stops, when you are supposed to be on the login screen.

  • NVIDIA HDMI output - not plugged in (?) = no sound on the TV, but great picture!

    Hello

    I'm not very experienced in the computer, but I know now that the connection from your laptop to a flat screen HDMI cable TV is not as easy as it should be...

    Description of the problem: no sound, but the big picture on the TV when connecting to my HP dv7 entertainment PC through HDMI to it. Specifically: for NVIDIA HDMI output icon is grey and not active in the "pilot sounds and reading - menu" - you can not simply give (other icons that are active are: speakers and headphones double, double independent headphone & SPDIF). You can also see the TV under "Control panel" > "Devices and printers" - so the tv is connected. In Device Manager, I see that I have 2 sound processors (?) "IDT High Definition Audio CODEC" and "NVIDIA High Definition Audio" - I don't know one that is used for the HDMI connection.

    I have at my own risk installed the latest driver (?) for my graphics (NVIDIA Geforce 9600 M GT) - before I did, the NVIDIA HDMI output icon participated actively in the "... sound"-menu (so you can turn it, etc.)- but no sound on the TV and then either...

    I suspect there to be something wrong with the drivers for my graphics card or processor... or maybe you can't send sound to the tv with my cable? It's a standard HDMI cable...

    If someone could help please advise me on what drivers to install or anything else, I would be very grateful!

    / Marie

    First do you uninstall IDT High-Definition Audio CODEC Driver and NVIDIA GeForce 9600 M GT drivers by going to

    Control Panel\Programs\Programs and features.

    In case if request you a restart of the computer, please make sure that restart you one after the other. Do NOT avoid restarting the computer.  So go ahead and download view updated and audio drivers from the HP website here.

    Yet once, after installation if you are prompted to restart the computer, go ahead and restart the computer. Once done, go to:

    Control Panel\Hardware and the sound and click on sound. On the Read tab, right-click on the white (empty) space and you will see 2 options (see the disabled devices and show disconnected devices). Make sure that both options are checked for all devices listed reading.

    Now, right click on the option to output HDMI device and make sure that the option "set as default device" is selected for the sound of the external display during playback picture on external monitor.
