Satellite L500-164: 15.6 "does not appear fullscreen in games

Hello

I recently bought the L500-164 and installed Windows 7 64-bit. Everything works perfectly, just a thing which annoys me incredibly.

Whenever I play a game (Counterstrike, Warcraft3, Warsow, soldier) is a big black band on the left and right, so basically the screen of the game resembles a quadrat. I saw even more on my old 15.4 "laptop, because he was able to view as wide screen.

I installed the new catalyst, but is not possible within the REC to enlarge the screen of the game for the full amount...
I really want to solve this problem and I hope for your help.

Thank you!

Hello

Normally, every game, you can change the screen resolution and I think that you didn t set the resolution of the screen to the right. As far as I know the Satellite L500-164 has a native resolution of 1366 x 768. did you choose this resolution?
If you choose another resolution that uses another format, you have these bands on the left and right sides.

In addition, you must use the Toshiba display driver directly. Other drivers are not pre-tested and don t have protection against overheating.

    Hi denis,.

    It appears perhaps with yellow exclamation point in Device Manager? With the code 19 error? I ask this question because I founded this interesting article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

    In addition, it would be interesting to know if the drive is seen in BIOS or not because in the worst case, need to replace the disk.

    The BIOS displays "none" instead of "optical device".

    This means that the CD device is dead?

    Hey Micky,

    Unfortunately it's probably :-(. You can try to remove the optical drive and then reinsert it into Notepad, and then marketing and see if it is recognized as a new device.

    Check also that it is not displayed in Device Manager and if it is remove before trying the above.

  • Satellite A300 - 15K: Polish character does not appear by using the shortcut

    Hello

    I am a fresh user of the A300 - 15K, and early on, I discovered that there the combination Alt + Ctr + c assigned from ATI (Catalyst Control Center) software. Unfortunately this combination should normally produce Polish character "to? (apparently not correctly on this page somehow after as I have copied from the word - it is stong focus on it - ' c' here is its capital version "-?").

    I am entered in the Catalyst Control Center and unmarked the use of keyboard shortcuts called (first this particular shortcut, then the use of hotkeys, usually), but I've reached this Catalyst Control Center stopped commissioning after the use of the combination.

    However, the necessary character of Polish does not appear. I can get the capital version with Ctr + Alt + Shift + c, but no normal version.
    A service center guy advised me to assign a different letter as combination of starting for the Catalyst Control Center and I did, but it was not the Polish character appear.

    I guess that there must be an error in the locale so I tried to change to English and Polish with zero results.

    Please help with some Word of the Adviser.

    Its easy to turn off.
    Simply enter the catalyst driver and there must be option as 'shortcut '. Turn the power off.

    I had the same problem.
    I remember that only it was really easy to turn off.
    You shouldn't have a problem with it.

    I tried to use google ect to find a solution and the thing I noticed, is that when I go to the start menu > all programs > TOSHIBA > utilities other people seem to have "Flash Cards" and "Flash Cards - setting" now all I have is help Flash Card, restart settings for Flash cards and Flash Cards. I mean just to see if it has to do with the problem anyway spend.

    I would like to know how to solve this problem, I already tried to install the package of value added, but it did not help at all, and this problem is probably caused by a me fiddling around with my laptop. Thanks in advance.

    Does anyone know what brand these webcams are i.e. Logitech?

    Your laptop seems to be an Australian series of Toshiba.
    That's why the drivers and other software from Toshiba as webcam software are on the Australian page Toshiba ;)

    To be honest I n don't know 100% what your problem is.
    If you want to watch DVD movies on your computer with the help of a reader DVD Toshiba but the captain must be indicated on the external screen follow these steps:

    When you have connected the HDMI cable (other) outside on the screen, use FN + F5 and switch to the external display only. When you see the desktop on the beginning of the display external Toshiba DVD player and I think that everything should be OK.

  • Satellite L500 CTRL + left click does not work in Windows 7 after update

    Hello
    I have a Satellite L500 running Win 7 64 bit. I have recently installed the latest windows updates and you've probably noticed that I can no longer select multiple items by holding the CTRL key and clicking on the left. This applies to files in Explorer, but also emails in outlook. When I try just hangs for a few seconds, but is unable to select multiple items. Someone else has encountered this or have any suggestions for healing?

    It is nothing lost in trying this Vista solution since there is no registry hacks etc [you cannot use keyboard shortcuts to select multiple items in Windows Explorer after installing some applications on a Windows Vista-based computer: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934548/en-us]
