Poor resolution on my monitor after installation Wondows - 7 Ultimate in my Dell Dimension 4600

I installed Windows 7 Ultimate on my Dell Dimension 4600 af ew days ago.  I remember buying the computer at least 6 years ago.  Now my computer does not recognize that my monitor flat screen default PnP monitor and I have very low resolution.  I have a small publishing company and monitor high resolution is critical for my needs.

I changed the cable blue from my PC to the monitor and also changed the screen (I have other PC at home).  But the problem remains

When I went on the Dell site and punch in my Service tag number for my PC, it shows that the PC has only the XP operating system and does not show the new operating system I installed, namely Windows 7 Ultimate.

Dell people tell me that my PC has a system of factory-installed XP operating and that is why it does not recognize the new operating system.  Is this true?

I'm about to call "Uncle" and buy a new computer.  I would like to at least get the computer as an emergency response unit.

Don't I have a solution to my problem?  Change the video card, a solution to my problem?

Yes, change the graphics card for a new would greatly, but AGP on the cards supported for use with Windows 7 is hard to find these days,

In addition, there is virtually none of your computer is properly cared for anything other than XP. You'd better put the money towards a new computer...

  • Dell Dimension 4600 does not start after upgrading CPU

    Hello

    First of all, I tried to send this last night but received a message on my post approval by moderator? Not yet been approved but seen other people have posted with success more recently. Do not know what is happening.

    In any case, put his hand on a 3.4 Ghz HT P4 Northwood 512 Kb 800 Mhz FSB for £10 on Ebay to upgrade my mother enough old Dimension 4600 which has a 2.8 Ghz P4 512 KB 533 FSB inside... However, when I install it the computer does not light and shows just a light amber. The readers and fans still spin but there is no display. The computer works normally when I put the old one back in.

    I think somehow it is a power supply problem as the new processor uses 20w more energy than the old 2.8 Ghz one. Someone at - it ideas? Just trying to figure if I bought a bad CPU, so I can return.

    Thank you

    Andrew,

    It is not a power supply problem, it's incompatible, or a bad processor problem.

    The first models of 4600 will take up to 3.0 GHz and models later, 3.2 GHz to 3.4 GHz, but this does not offer much of a sudden boost on the 3.0 GHz

    Motherboard Dell P/N F4491 will support up to 3.4 Ghz Northwood leaving Prescott

  • Dual monitor boot problem with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit after installation of any graphics program like a game.

    I have built this platform with the help of the owner of a store of 4 cumputer teir 2 years ago. We initially put Windows Vista 32 bit on the system to Vista 64 bit unstable atm. For 2 years, the computer worked like a dream. Last week I made a clean wipe of windows vista and windows 7 professional 64-bit installed. The system has two monitors. The primary monitor is a sony bravia with 26 "led and secondary for watching movies is that a 55 '' led Samsung 1080 p 240 Hz. The graphics card is a geforce GTX 295 nividia. It has 12 GB of Ram and the CPU is an i7 965 @3.20.

    The problem I have is this. After the installation of any game average to work with windows 7, the screens to reset their resolutions automatically more than a few times as they are confused. Sometimes, I have to return the screen to its correct resolution after installation in full. Most of the games and then run fine. After installing the game or any game designed for win 7 startup of computers is all messed up for the monitors. After starting hand 26 "sets its resolution and then after about a second 30 pause the computer makes the sound (the double) that it is resolutuons to reset monitor again? After that this second reset about 1-2 minutes the computer is good to go, unless it sets the res evil. The problem is the computer has never done that with vista and it is very annoying say the least. It still freezes the installation of some games. The only way to resolve what I found is the restoration of the system. The computer starts normally and screen ground is defined once she has always been. The only problem is when you install another game, the problem is their new. This problem is worse in some games.

    The latest nvidia drivers have been installed. There is no conflict in the device with the exception of an old printer Manager. The two comes is set to 60 hertz. I searched all over the internet and there seems to be a problem with windows 7 without solution. I am at a loss. Any other information that you need let me know and I'll post it. Thank you!

    Hi ancientone618,

    It sounds almost as if there is a Windows update that is in conflict with your NVIDIA Driver Installer.  I would say to disable automatic updates of Windows to see if it might help:

  • I just installed windows 7 on an old dell dimension 4500 s. The installation went well, but I have a problem with the resolution of the screen. The resolution is set to 640 x 480 and my monitor is much better than that.

    • Just installed Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade - 32-bit
    • Installed on the old Dell Dimension Dsktp 4500 s
    • Monitor is a Dell S199WFP Flat widescreen.
    • Everything seems fine, but the screen display resolution is messed up
    • Display resolution is set to 640 x 480, then it should be something like 1024 x 768
    • I can't change the resolution in the control panel
    • the screen is recognized as "Non - PnP Monitor on Standard VGA Graphics Adapter generic
    • It also seems that the driver is up-to-date

    What's wrong?!? Someone please help.

    Thank you!

    I remember that when I tried to install the driver, there's a message that says that it is said that it is not supported.  I don't know if I reinstalled the older operating system and then the new driver and vista or if there was a button to install the driver, even though it was not taken in charge.  Most likely, I installed the driver on the old XP operating system and then applied the upgrade to Vista. I always run a clean install to clean any spyware etc. The driver supports the X 9 live is what it takes. Use Vista driver is already installed.  I plan to upgrade to windows 7 in January and display the results.

  • Creating cloud Mac Download Manager will not LAUNCH after installation.

    Creative cloud Mac Download Manager App LANCERA not after installation. Nothing happens at all. (The system is an iMac: 3.1 GHz Intel Core i5 w/16 GB running ElCaptain 10.11.4)

    For Brucgonn someone else it is! I've done a lot of reading about it in both Adobe & Apple Forums and rebuilt my system the last 3 days and answer for this is very simple! I am running a 21 "4 K Retina Mac El Capitan 11.4 in 64-bit mode. Goto: Applications / Utilities / Adobe CC / CAC / Creative Cloud.app the "Get Info" and luck for the App "open in low resolution. "THIS CORRECTION IS THE PROBLEM!" Now it opens and the icon is on my top menu bar to the right.

    Adobe should add to their web support page for the Creative Cloud Manager Download Page. Have run you a Mac in high resolution (retina in 4K or 5K) you must goto the creative Cloud.app the and modify the application to open in low resolution. Or when the application installs it is watching to see what kind of Mac your race and change the App opens in correct mode.

  • Thunderbird crashes after installation of vn 38.4. Solved. Cause - bad record?

    (This question was published only because I could not respond to existing similar questions without registering first.)

    Problem was apparently a Thunderbird randomly hanging after automatic update to 38.4 on Windows 7 Enterprise. The process of dropping out/no response took place a few minutes after start of TB, compose messages, send or download of IMAP mail.

    Shortcut to the final solution - probably corrupted files or folders at the OS level.

    For those who are conducting similar research I also watched the references linked below.

    En route to the solution, various obfuscation were met, all of which were interesting but NONE OF THESE solved the problem of the suspension, namely:

    -back to Thunderbird 38.1 extracted from Mozilla's FTP repository

    -Disable all modules in SafeMode as suggested in posts below

    -deactivation of reminders on calendar, pop ups and sounds like suggested in the posts below

    -turn off sounds (in the systray) as suggested in posts below and new mail alerts

    -Discover, finally, only one of the half-dozen or so synchronized account IMAPs has caused the problem, which is an account Exchange-synced via the excellent DavMail (Davmail upgrade to the latest version was another diversion)

    -assuming that the compaction of TB was not his work and that he is too much vacuum/zombie files left lying around, leading to a redundant cleanup using Thunderfix (http://www.parhelia-tools.com/products/thunderfix/thunderfix.aspx), was nevertheless his cleaning of employment but not a solution

    What worked then...

    The procedure of backup profiles recommended TB in Thunderfix and elsewhere led to discover that the copy of Windows has won at least one file during the copy. Suspecting lower level corruption, I ran chkdsk D: /f (since all data are on D: and not on C: with the operating system). No major problems found aprt of 4 files analyzed once again.

    I resorted to the use of SynckbackSE to do the backup instead, noting that one of the failures was Junk.msf. That and the knowledge that the account linked to Exchange was the likely to be the culprit, I restarted and deleted everything in IMAPmail\localhost\ (DavMail connects via localhost stored files).

    Restart Thunderbird (always on 38.1) and connect via DavMail pulled back all messages and folders from the source Exchange to resynchronize records localhost TB successfully. No need to use backup or same setting of TB.

    Will probably now improve return to 38.1 after a period of stability.

    After years of use of Thunderbird of the dowry of the year, it's nice to know that it was not primarily at fault.

  • Windows 10: After installation

  • After installation or upgrade to Firefox 31, starting Firefox does not display the home page, personalize displays a blank page and the radio button does not work

    I am the admin of Windows for a University Department and install PC with Firefox all the time. This problem does not occur with every PC I would maintain, only a selection bit (model different laptops with Windows and update 1 8.1.) Until today, it has happened with the new user (with admin rights) accounts that I place on laptops for our staff. Today, this happened with the account administrator while setting up a new laptop. In all cases so far, I have install Windows from a registered image that was created by using sysprep.

    I tried many suggestions to reset Firefox, removing the profile of Firefox users, removing the Windows profile users, uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox, uninstall/reinstall of Firefox and the latest Java, but nothing helped. After uninstalling, I run an application to delete the caches and temporary files and even remove manually the keys to register HKLM\SOFTWARE\Mozilla and HKCU\SOFTWARE\Mozilla. I restart and make sure that the installation folder is deleted after uninstalling.

    Results are the same: after installing Firefox 31, the initial settings for migration, IE or Chrome pop up and after having clicked on the button finish, Firefox starts but does not display the home page of the new user, only a blank page. By clicking on the Options (3 bars) button does nothing. Right click in the appropriate box, the shortcut menu appears, so I can choose to customize, but which opens another tab with subject: Customize the URL and the page is blank. In the right click context menu, I can activate the menu bar and get options from that.

    My last attempt helped a little. I uninstalled Firefox 31, cleaned, removed the profile user Firefox, rebooted and then installed Firefox 30. Initial start-up runs and tells me that I'm not up-to-date and the works of button Options. But I can't always customize.

    Then I upgraded to Firefox 31, but then it's back to no start page, no options button and no customization. I can go down to 30 and get customize practically works again.

    Addon only is for McAfee Scriptscan to Firefox 15.1.0, just after installation is disabled.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

  • How to initialize automatically Firefox immediately after installation

    I install Firefox from the repositories Fedora YUM via Kickstart. After installation, the .mozilla directory and its subdirectories do not exist. Even though I have the Firefox configuration files that I want to install, I don't have a place to put them. And since Firefox seems to create a directory .mozilla/firefox/*default with a random name, I can't easily just create the directory and then insert my files. Is there a way to do this fully automatic?

    You can put files in the default templates folder (by default / / profile) in the program folder to make them appear automatically in a new Firefox profile...

  • I accidentally deleted iPhotos after installation of El Capitan and were not able to download or reinstall.

    I accidentally deleted the iPhoto app on my new mac after installation of El Capitan and are not available for download, except the updates, which obviously doesn't work. How can I get that back?

    You can probably not - most likely, you will need to switch to Photos (what would happen sooner or later anyway)

    Have you looked under purchases in the app store?  Can't update iPhoto because it is not available in the App Store

    If it is not there you can try reinstalling iPhoto 11 of the original source and the upgrade to 9.6.1 but I doubt it will work

    Or you can try to restore your backup from just before you shape did this error

  • My seagate drive external drive keeps ejecting properly after installation of OS El Capitan

    My seagate external hard drive keeps ejecting properly after installation of OS El Capitan, it locks also towards the top and turns off, the ext drive when using, I have to restart my IMac 27 inches.  I have two ext hd who does very well for years before the installation of the operating system El Capitan

    If you have installed the Seagate Software, please delete and see if there is no change.

    Any third party software that is not installed on the App Store or by drag-and - drop in the Applications folder and uninstall by drag - move to the trash, is a modification of the system.

    Whenever you delete changes to the system, they must be eliminated completely, and the only way to do this is to use the uninstall tool, if any, provided by the developers, or follow their instructions. If the software has been removed incompletely, you may redownload or reinstall even to finish the job.

    I never install modifications of the system myself, and except as stated in this comment, I do not know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find this information.

    Here are some general guidelines to help you get started. Suppose you want to remove the so-called "BrickMyMac" (a hypothetical example). First of all, menu using the product, check if there is one, for instructions. Not finding here, look at the Web site, let's say www.brickmymac.com. (Maybe it's not the name real site, if necessary, search the Web for the name of the product). If you don't find anything on the Web site or in your search, contact the developer. While you are waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be a request here as "Uninstall BrickMyMac." If this is not the case, open "BrickMyMac.pkg" and look for an uninstall button. The uninstall program can also accessible by clicking on the button customize, when one exists.

    Back up all data before making any changes.

    Generally, you will need to restart the computer in order to perform an uninstall. Until you do this, there may be no effect, or the unpredictable effects.

    If you can't remove the software in any other way, you will have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third party software, unless you're sure you know how to uninstall in the contrary case, it can create problems which are very difficult to solve.

    Try to remove the complex system of changes by hunting for files by name, often will not work and can make the problem worse. The same goes for 'utilities' as the 'AppCleaner"designed to remove software.
