Resolution for screen wide flat screen is too small (already tried native resolution and dpi)

Short version of my problem is the following. I have a Dell Inspiron 530 w/Vista. I recently had to reinstall Vista to a deformation of the BONE. Now that everything is reinstalled and updated, everything is too small. Text is about a size 4, web pages appear with all focus on areas on each side w/empty space.

I already tried to change the resolution but other dimensions make the screen either too wide or too high, I tried to change the dpi to 120, which still has not resolved the smallness. I'm at my wits end, trying to figure out what the issue could be and would love other suggestions to try.

You can get in trouble with your device drivers, firmware and/or software.  Go to the Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white?  These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else).  Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips.  If you need to get drivers (and you shoulddo at least for video cards and monitors and all you have time to do - they can help way beyond simply solve this problem), let the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.

In Internet Explorer, click Page in the toolbar of the order (if it is not there, do a right-click on the toolbar with the tabs, and then check the toolbar command to add) and access the Zoom and text size and see if the setting solves those problems with this program (I often accidentally hit the shortcut key causing that to happen and it always fixes it).

If this does not work, try a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.  If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem.   Follow the procedures described in the article.  Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall.  Once remember to put Vista in normal status, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work.

Start in safe mode with network and see if the problem is here.  A result allows us to narrow down the search for the cause.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

If none of this works, try to uninstall the flat screen widescreen (everything including configuration in display properties, pilots in devices, connections and any other partner Manager and reboot and see if your screen returns to normal.)  If so, something on the flat screen is the origin of the problem and you may need to consult the manual, installation instructions or whether, you can find about it (you already have the most recent files in the first paragraph above) and try to install again to see if the problem comes back.   If all goes well, the same resetting will solve the problem unless there is a problem of basic compatibilility.  What is the manufacturer, brand and model of the flat screen and how exactly is it connected (the precise connection device and methodology)?

  • Resolution of the screen - police too small when the value of resolution 1920 x 1080

    original title: screen resolution

    Got a new laptop which has 1920 x 1080 screen resolution that I paid extra for.  However, when I keep this setting on any web site text size/font is so small that it is very difficult to read.  I tried all the plugins to font size, but that did not help.  The only way I can get readable (for me) the text is to reduce the 1360 x 768 resolution which totally defeats the purpose of getting a screen high resolution.  Is there another way other than the setting screen resolution, such that it can be Pascal outside and still provide a readable text?  I don't want bugs like the magnifying glass or similar devices.

    When you increase the resolution of the screen, things are smaller. Basically, the only way to get great results even at higher resolutions is to have a bigger screen. Magnifying glass, zooms and more police sizes allow you just to settle on the edges of this kit, you must make the best compromise.

    I use 1920 x 1080 and I have my text size the value 125% (and IE9 = 200% zoom), but I have a 24 "display which is much bigger than a computer screen.

  • I have a 22 inch monitor set to 150%, but since I installed Firefox, the font is too small and the screen is too small. Cannot enlarge font or screen. I can do control ++ whenever I have enter a page but don't want it as my solution.

    Control/display panel, I got my screen set at 150% and a resolution of 1680 X 1050. It filled my screen 22 inch with the content of the page. Now that I have installed Firefox, the police is too small and the content is centered in the screen leaving about3"each side of the space empty. I want to fill the screen and make things bigger. Have not found a way to do it. Firefox tells me in my window/display of the control panel that setting my display at 150%, ' some elements may not match your screen if you choose this setting if your screen is positioned on this resolution. " It worked fine with the Explorer.

    It's very frustrating to see the program I want to open the office toolbar but when I click it, the window opens so small I can't read and only shows when I hover over the icon in the toolbar.  Help please, what I do?

    Hi Wendy,.

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing.

    To create a shortcut on the desktop, follow these steps and check:

    (a) access the program, file, or folder that you want a shortcut to.
    (b) make a right click on the item you want the shortcut and select "send to", then
    "Desktop (create shortcut)".

    I suggest you for the link and check if that helps:

    I have already tried:
    -Startup Repair (did nothing)

    -chkdsk - was suggested and I ran it, but it found no errors (accessed via the Startup Repair menu command prompt)
    -safe mode - all modes of Security 3 Blues the same screen when starting
    -bios Dell diagnostics came out clean
    -Memtest86 boot from USB was released with pass 100% and no error
    I have not recently installed the drivers or programs

    Any suggestions would be helpful! I do not want to reinstall windows, at this point a repair would be useful!

    Hi herestothenight22,

    1. how much memory stick (live RAM) you have on the computer?

    2. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    If you have more than 1 GB of RAM installed on the computer, then I suggest that you remove all of the memory sticks and just keep 1 GB of RAM on the computer and check if it works.

    I hope this helps!

  • I have an Air iPad with wifi cell, however, suddenly my iPad did not have 4G service. I went to my carrier and they change the SIM of another, it still appears above in the screen no Service and I already tried the chip and work.

    I already tried the sim card in my mini iPad and works perfectly; my career was told to do a restore of my iPad Air, I did it like 3 times, and he always acknowledged carrier in settings, but still says no Service.

    I wanted to know what can I do about it.

  • Font size of text too small shows in some programs and applications

    Original title: small TEXT in some programs and Applications on PC.

    Hello.

    I'm having some trouble trying to read the TEXT in some of my PC applications. It does not happen in all the and can have a mix of large and small TEXT in a box (I've included a screenshot of my desktop to show an example).

    I tried to fix this with the methods are: -.

    1. Settings in the appearance of control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Personalization\Window and Appearance\Advanced color
    2. Text control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Display\Screen Resolution\Make and other larger and smaller

    Looking at the screenshot, the box " ""Taskbar and Start Menu Properties"" " you can see the text is fine to read! Below, right-click on the desktop, the box that opens is reading too! "Right out of the box beside it, the ' system properties ' is almost impossible to read without having to screen! Above this area is the "ASUS AI SUITE", you can see the text is small and the numbers are too. I can read about the column titles, but can not read temperatures, the rpm or tensions. Finally is the box ' PC PROBE II ', once again, a mixture of small and large text.

    For the life of me, I don't understand why it started to happen, or when it started. I have not installed, changed or deleted something for awhile also.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I installed CSS5. 5 on my new laptop Surface book. The problem ist that menu bars and tool of Photoshop, Bridge and Dreamweaver toolbar appear so small so that I can't read it.

    These have the same size as in Excel or Word. I reinstalled the full Suite of CSS but the problem sovled isnot. Does anyone have an idea help?

    See the little icon in advance at the start of Photoshopn:


    photoshop_start.jpg

    See menu bar and the toolbar in Photoshop (the same thing happens with Dreamweaver and bridge):

    photoshop_menubar.jpg

    See the correct size of the start at the start of InDesign icon:

    InDesign_start.jpg

    And in InDesign, Illustrator, and Fireworks, the toolbar and the menu bar have the right size:


    InDesign_menu.jpg

    Does anyone have a solution for this problem? I have already installed the CSS Suite for the second time, but there is no change

    and Dreamweaver, Photoshop, and Bridge were too small and not readable menu and the toolbar.

    I would appreciate your help!

  • Premiere Pro alert guard my laptop screen is too small?

    my laptop screen size is 1366 x 768?

    Why Premiere Pro keep alert?

    I agree with CC. Adobe requires a minimum screen resolution of 1280 x 800 (and no, not the total number of pixels, or even one of the dimensions meet - but BOTH dimensions must be met). Unfortunately, 1366 x 768 does not meet minimum requirements of Adobe because your screen has only 768 pixels of vertical resolution (800 pixels of vertical resolution are necessary).

  • Cloud creative support for screens hiDPI?

    Hello

    I own Adobe Creative Suite CS4 and installed it on a computer.  I tried to install on my new Yoga Pro 3 with hiDPI and it would not be installed properly. First of all, during the installation, he said that the system didn't ' have the minimum screen resolution so CS4 don't ' even to recognize the screen resolution of 3200 x 1800 on Yoga Pro 3. In any case, I installed and it looked terrible.

    So I signed up for creative cloud of the trial in hopes that would work.  No go. Tried two Fireworks and Photoshop and two screens were too small to read. The drop-down menus display normally but all the rest is unreadable (lowercase and text icons).

    I searched the web and the forums here and am still not sure what the situation is and if the CC apps will display correctly on hiDPI.  I would be very happy to join CC but you need to know before hand if the fireworks and other applications will display correctly.

    I can't find a straight answer or a solution online.

    What exactly is the status? If Yes, then why has the CC trial I didn't charge not work correctly (Photoshop and Fireworks).

    Thank you.

  • PES 9 editor fonts too small screen

    I just upgraded to PSE 9 when I bought a new PC and High Def monitor to the recommended 1920 x 1080 resolution. Now the font in the editor is so small I can't read. Modification of the monitor DPI does not change the police of the editor. Is there a way to increase the font of screen editor?  I bought the new PC and monitor specifically for the EP and first elements use but have not been able to get there yet.

    The only way is to play with resolution and DPI... There is no way within the application to control the font size.

  • My fonts to the screen size is smaller than it was originally

    The screen is too small to see

    http://www.vista4beginners.com/how-to-change-font-size

    How to change the font size in Windows Vista

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or, if all is smaller, not only the font size:

    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.

    For example, 640 × 480 is a lower screen resolution, and 1600 × 1200 is higher. CRT monitors generally display a resolution of 800 × 600 or 1024 × 768. LCD monitors can better support the higher resolutions. If you can increase your screen resolution depends on the size and capability of your monitor and the type of video card you have.

    Text and images are sharper and smaller at high screen resolutions
    Text is larger and easier to read at low screen resolutions, but images are rasterized and number of items adapted to the screen
    1. Open display settings by clicking on the button start , by clicking on Control Panel, appearance and personalization, clickingPersonalization and then clicking display settings.

    2. Under resolution, move the slider to the desired resolution, then clickApply.

    Notes

    • When you change the screen resolution, it affects all users who log on the computer.

    • When you set your monitor to a screen resolution that it will not support, the screen will go black for a few seconds while the monitor returns to the original resolution

    See you soon.
