• Loginoff, save your settings and Windows stops no display on the screen, every time I stop my Windows XP Professional SP3

  Hi all

  Hi Patfaucher1974,
   
  Your question seems incomplete. When you say "Windows is no display on the screen stop" means that you do not get the screen that says "closing Windows"?
  -You are unable to shut down your computer?
  -If so, can remind you to make changes to your computer between the calendar when things worked fine and now?
   

  Try the steps listed in the article below and check if that helps you:

• WIN8: Can I adjust the screen resolution by a notification area icon?

  I have a compressed HPEnvy X 2 running Win8. I connect it to a projector of data via a HDMI/VGA adapter. In order to get the projector to display properly, I have to change the screen resolution of salvation to the lowest. I pinned control panel display icon on the desktop to make this need more quickly, but it is yet to click in it, select res screen adjust etc. Is it possible to have an icon in the Notification area that will put in place the 2 resolutions and I would change it in a single click? Moreover, the system displays for the data projector, but says that it cannot find a second screen, so I don't think that I can set permanently hi res for the main and weak wreck for the 2nd monitor

  Hi Max,.

• 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

  Hope that this help is the only way it would work for me ~ JUZTICE

• Windows 7 is not supported (the screen brightness problem)?

  I called Lenovo technical support to see if they had a solution for unable darken the screen in Windows 7.  The suport person told me to load the most recent drivers.  I did and then recalled with my file number.  I told them that the suggestion did not work (I knew he wouldn't).

  The guy asked me if I had received the update of Win 7 from Lenovo, and I said, 'no, I bought Windows 7 and installed this version.

  Finally, when he realized that he couldn't help me, he told me that they couldn't give me more help because I had loaded "unsupported software.  Apparently, they believe Windows 7 (if not received Lenovo) 'no software support!

  I had the same problem, I have just upgraded to windows 7 this week and could not adjust the brightness, but after the bios updated everything it worked perfectly.

  Here is the link for all the drivers for your choice of system the correct bios for your system, which should be the 32 bit one

• By pressing F2, F3, F4 and similar keys makes functions such as screen brightness adjustment... How can I disable that I can't play FSX?

  Hi reading FSX, I must be able to use, hold the keys such as F2, F3, F4, etc.. However, on my new computer, these same keys does things such as adjusting the screen brightness and raise a few weird screen, instead of performing the function of game. I would like to know if there if there is a way to disable it or put so that she will only perform the function of play instead of these functions. I used to have a 2009 computer that has Windows 7, but the keys on the top did not have these features. The F keys on this computer are displayed to do things like play, rewind, fast forward, go directly to the support centre, and as I mentioned previously set things and the brightness of the screen. It's pretty boring, and I need to be disabled to play FS as well as other games.

  Thank you

  The HP DV7 series uses the BIOS to control whether the keys F1-F12 > act as F1, F2, etc. or as the Fn + F1, Fn + F2, etc.

  Reboot the laptop and start typing F10 as soon as he starts under tension. Enter in the BIOS, and then select the System Configuration screen. There is an option for the Keys of Mode of Action , you need to change. I regret that I have not more specific instructions, but your user manual should have details.

  Save the changes to the BIOS settings and restart the computer. Now, brightness, volume, etc. will be controlled by a combination of keys Fn + F1-F12 > and your F1 through F12 keys should work normally for programs and games.

• Satellite A200 - 14 d: how many times can I change the screen resolution

  I would like to ask if often resolution change may damage the screen of my Satellite A200 - 14 d?

  Because now I'm programming in Assembly in resolution 640 x 480, and whenever I run a program, the screen should change its 1280 x 800 to 640 x 480 resolution, and it takes 1-2 seconds: it is empty, the backlight turns off, then the new resolution appears. I would like to ask if it permanently (often) could damage my LCD?

  Thank you.

  Don't worry man, it will not damage the screen ;)
  You can change the screen resolution often unhesitatingly ;)

  I have a desktop with Windows Vista. Many times, the screen is the gel with an error massage "video Mode not supported". What could be the problem and the solution. ?

  Hi Izzy Nagar,

  ·         Exactly when you receive this error message?

  ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  ·         Do you have any extended monitor connected to the computer in the past or at the present time?

  Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

  Method 1: You can try to reduce the resolution of the screen (lower), then check if the message still appears.

  Check also if the refresh rate of the monitor is set correctly and check the manual of the monitor for assistance.

  Ways to improve display quality

  Flicker of the correct monitor (refresh rate)

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/correct-monitor-flicker-refresh-rate

  Method 2: Use the option ' enable video low resolution (640 × 480) "start, then update your video card driver and check if the problem still persists.

  a. click the Start button, click the arrow next to Shut Down and then click on restart.

  b. do one of the following:

  ·         If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then stop and restart your computer.

  ·         If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to select the operating system you want to start in safe mode, and then press F8.

  c. on the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to select activate video low resolution (640 × 480) and press ENTER.

  d. connect to your computer with an account of a user who has administrator rights.

  e. If you can see your desktop, there is a problem with your video card. Try to update your video card driver. For more information, see the article:
