Recent update has changed my screen resolution?
Recent update of windows changed my screen resolution. Blow up all my icons, wallpaper and extends the size of windows. Pages do not correspond to windows, the computer and on the web. It is the second time that this happens, and I don't know how I straightened the last time. I know this isn't a major problem, it's just frustrating, as it has a mind of its own.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Change your update settings and do not install the the hardware driver updates left 3rd of Microsoft Updates. Find them in the constructor.

My Roxio VHS TO DVD movie editing program has worked on my laptop Toshiba Windows 7 system before I reformatted. Now when I open Roxio it changes the screen resolution of 256 colors at a very low resolution b and the program will not work. When I close the program Roxio the resolution of the screen reverts back to 256 colors. Control of program compatibility tells that it's incompatible, but the program worked on my system before I reformatted.

Windows 7 changes the screen resolution when video applications go full screen.
When I have plenty of screen some video players, that the resolution of the screen on just the ordinary 1080 p 1080 p (native) that has a refresh rate of 60 hz. As soon as I exit full screen it activates again. Would be nice but when it switches the screen is no longer fits the screen and the user interface looks very grainy, the video actually looks very good. Windows Media Player 12 for this, while VLC does not, which leads me to believe its something to do with the way that Windows Media Player makes video (which I think it uses Direct x, which uses VLC OpenGL). I have this problem on my computer and my brothers computer I customized built. The specifications are very similar, other that my computer has an Nvidia GTS 250, and has a Nvidia GTX 275. Is there anyway to stop it from doing this?
Data sheet:
Intel Core i7 clocked at 2.66 Ghz
6 GB of ram
ASUS P6T SE LGA 1366 Intel X 58 ATX Intel Motherboard
Just in case people always have a problem with this problem, pls here's a solution that worked for me...
I spent the last month trying to solve this problem, and "youemailme" (another thread here) had the correct solution for me! And so Simple!
I noticed on Blogs that this problem has existed for at least Win98 is not your computer or your operating system.
The question seems to be programs in your Menu has a different screen resolution to set startup, thereby causing the screen resolution change when you start your computer. This isn't a MicroSoft program error, but rather a question of "settings".
With me, what worked were 2 things:
(1) perform the 'clean boot process' as advised by many to determine which granted software was causing the problem... and then.
(2) right click on the name of the program (as discovered in above) 'problem' in the Start Menu > properties > compatibility. For some reason, there is an option to "run in 640 x 480 screen resolution", which has been verified. This program was in the startup folder and the cause of the problem. Then unchecked the resolution box. No problem.
In my view, there are a large number of people dealing with this exact problem. I hope that this process of step 2 could solve their problems.
(ps, just thinking about it now, you might not even bother with the 'clean boot process' but simply go through all your programs in your Start Menu and run the 2nd step explained above. Should work?)
See you soon

Change your screen resolution.

Please advise?
I know this is an old thread, but I came across it looking for a solution to the same problem. It turns out that my problem has a cause simple and simple solution. I had accidentally pressed the "multiple displays" function key on my keyboard (F4 on my HP Envy) and therefore affect my screen out of two monitors without realizing it. I started getting the error "the screen resolution is too low for this application to run", came here, tried to change my resolution screen and then realized what I had done. Once I changed the key function to the PC only, the problem has been resolved.

Can't change my screen resolution - Windows 8 PRO
I have computer LAPTOP Compaq Presario A900 in which I installed Windows 8 Pro. After the installation, I'm not able to change my screen resolution. When I right click on the desktop, and then select the screen resolution, it is written in the resolution 1024 x 768 (recommended)box. I can't change the screen resolution. In Device Manager, I tried to update my Generic PnP Monitor driver, it says that your driver is up to date.
This Device Manager cannot find generic drivers. I recommend go to the Compaq website and download all the drivers for your model laptop (same drivers you already have, bring here to ensure that you have the latest version of the non-generic), but above all, including the graphics driver.

New update has changed the behavior of the anchor points on the ellipses - frustrating!
The new update has changed how anchors work on ellipses (at least - maybe other forms, too). It was I had the area around the ellipse and with the selection tool, I could drag the 4 anchors around the ellipse for the shape I wanted. Now anchors on both sides are working this way, but the other two across the entire ellipse! Is there a way to recover the old anchors?
I also get a lot of weird behavior when copying and the adjustment of the ellipses. Sometimes the bounding box is around the new ellipse in that I paste. I have to go back and forth between the select and direct selection tool, and finally he will come to the top. :-/
Thank you!
Matt
Yes, I see that they make in an arc/ellipse tool where you got the opportunity to make a thing of pie-chart-in searching for Pacman.
In addition, reset the rectangle enclosing do not work on this thing.
The answer is, they are slowly but surely adding more robust features for 'shape' elements in Illustrator. The difference between a 'form' and just a path in the shape of form, it's that a 'form' is made with a tool of shape as the Ellipse tool or a Rectangle, polygon, etc.
Or a form can be made to take a path that meets the criteria: for example, a rectangle of any rotation that has 4 points at all the right angles. You can experiment by drawing your own rectangular path and lining up all the points so that your angles and lines are perfectly straight and using the object > shape > convert to the form menu item. However, if you add even one point back to the sides of the rectangle, the form will automatically extend to return to the regular way - which will be exactly the same in terms of the look you see on the screen.
The difference between paths and shapes is that forms give you additional properties, which you can change using the area at the bottom of the transformation Panel. For rectangles, it's just the corners and the width/height, but for ellipses, it's now this pie thing.
Anyway, even if I can't find any options to create shapes already developed using the shape tools, you can scale your ellipse using the transform tool manual (E) which dimensionnera the horizontal ellipse, or you can use the object > shape > menu item to expand whenever you make an ellipse. This could be done more quickly by recording an action and assigning a shortcut key, so you can convert out of any shape in a simple path.

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 ;) -
