  original title: Auto Adjust

  Hello.

  Whenever we start to use our computer, the screen goes black and the message 'Auto adjust is in Prgress'. Then, all of our screen is small and all the icons and pages are smaller than before.

  I tried restoring the system that works and that gets our screen back to normal but every day that this Auto setting is coming and we can't seem to stop it.

  Any help would be appreciated... Thank you

  Try this:

  Go to the Web site of the manufacturer of your laptop computer-graphics/computer card > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Vista drivers > download/install them.

  Then:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-AU/Windows-Vista/change-screen-resolution

  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.

  See you soon.

  Hello

  You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If yes you can try Control Panel - device
  Manager - graphics card - Double click on - driver tab - click on UPDATE driver - then right click
  on devices and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

  Another method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure)
  CTRL + ALT + DELETE and on the tab process EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - then
  on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is reached
  by tapping F8 as you start several times.

  Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all patch is usually on a base hit or miss.
  That there is no information on a black screen as it is on a blue screen just adds to the
  Difficulty. Often using a restore point or Startup Repair will have no effect. You can try a
  Google to see the proposed repairs, whom some have worked however these cover a wide
  field efforts.

  Hello mcbethtings:

  Welcome to Hp forum. Your question is not in the list. http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/documentSubCategory?tmp_rule=56801&tmp_task=solveCategory&CC=UK&DLC=en&lang=en&LC=en&product=4100044 So, in this case I sujest a restore back to remove what are the mistakes caused by a bad AVG update. GoTo all programs search and type in Recovery Manager click that above and open it. Click Yes (white box) so it apears. Select Microsoft System Restore Click next to three windows now you will see a list of dates, select a date prior to the installation of the update, then click. Let the computer do its restoration. Once done see if your problem is solved, if so try the update again, make you that the update is for 64-bit Windows 7 computers before you download it again. If that happens again once you know what AVG is not compatible for your computer.

  Probably you have only received part of the witch update caused this problem due to the disruption of atmospheres. Sometimes this happens. Put day of my HP only made once. I just did a restore back and downloaded the update again and the second time through work. Please click on Bravo if this solves your problem. Thank you frrw.

  Hello Respect137, welcome.

  It would appear that running DirectX files installed on your system were corrupt. This gives a test:
  1. go to: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=2DA43D38-DB71-4C1B-BC6A-9B6652CD92A3&displaylang=en
  2 follow the instructions which is there to install the package to update DirectX
  3. Once installed, restart your computer and try to run the game

  ===============================
  I don't know what is causing this problem but would be
  suspicious, it is related to a corrupted or obsolete
  video driver.

  Might be interesting to try to reduce your graphics
  Hardware acceleration instructions
  in the following article.

  How to put in back of graphics hardware acceleration
  http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00129_How_to_set_graphics_hardware_acceleration_back.htm
  (scroll down to: "If you are using Windows 2000 or XP")

  If they improve the question, you should look for the
  site Web of MFG. your video card
  a updated driver Win XP compatible video. Or...
  If your computer is a laptop... Search support
  site of the manufacturer of your computer.

  If you do not know the make and model of your
  Video adapter, see the documentation that
  supplied with the computer.

  Also you can find info on your video by driver
  go to Device Manager: you can launch
  By clicking Device Manager on... Start/run and
  type or copy / paste:
  devmgmt.msc
  And then press ENTER.

  Expand "Graphics cards" and right click
  the name of your graphics... then
  choose... Properties / tab pilot... FYI.

  You should find the make and model of your
  adapter display as well as the version of the driver.

  If the driver on the Web site is no longer
  current than you run...
  Download and install it. In addition, installation
  instructions that should be followed closely
  should be available on the support site.

  Once installed the new video driver... you
  can restore your full acceleration.

  Good luck...

• screen goes black and I hear 3 beeps slow cpu.

  A few minutes after turning on the power button on the computer, my screen goes black and I hear 3 beeps slow cpu.  It makes me have to hold in the power button to turn off the computer and restart.  This happens as regularly after I've been on the computer for awhile.  What is causing the black screen and beeps?

  Hello

  You normally get beeps and it does not start.

  You will need to go to your computer manufacturer's website and find out what BIOS you have in your computer model.

• My screen goes black and 'safe mode' apears

  My screen goes black in the middle of something and then 'safe mode' appears and then the screen turns off.  This often happens in the middle of a game on FACEBOOK.  I can hear the game continue to pay and then it times out.  Quite often when I switch the power on the screen is covered in black and white letters and symbols coloured with casual, and I can see 'safe mode' in the middle of it.  Takes several attempts to actually it reboot.  Any help?
