screen resolution bug

I have a small problem, sometimes after playing games on my computer, the screen resolution must be changed so that the game will play correctly. But after shutting down my computer and turning back on (usually with a space for a day or so between the two), the screen resolution remains the same as what was the game screen, so my office now has a larger icons, background screen increase size etc. Can I change the resolution to what it is supposed to be, but is starting to become quite annoying, especially since it move my desktop icons. Is there a way to permanantly fix this?

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

  • HP Pavilion p6823w: the HP screen resolution

    So I just recently installed the preview of Windows 10 and I ended up getting very large screens as usual. So I used some old drivers when I was looking for them for Windows 7. I installed all the drivers that I kept and time stand, auto screen resized itself and it was 1600 x 900, which is the size of my screen. Overview of Windows 10 being in beta, there was a lot of bug so I decided to remove 10 Windows and install Windows 8.1. When I tried to use the same drivers, the screen remained the same at 1280 x 1024.

    How does this work again? Auto, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10 works resize screen, but not the Windows 8.1? WIndows 8 and Windows 8.1 do not have the same modules? How that even make any sense. And what makes it all even funnier how will Windows 10 preview (Beta) can pick up and automatic resizing with the same drivers in Windows 7 and Windows 8?

    Well. Might as well scratch or close this message. My computer no longer works because I wanted to was to resize the screen resolution and now my BIOS killed my computer. Sigh...

  • Edit event managed by this case in LabVIEW 2013 does not show the specifiers of the event, Event Sources and events on screen resolution 800 x 600

    Edit event managed by this case in LabVIEW 2013 shows not specifiers of the event, Event Sources and events on screen resolution 800 x 600.

    As far as I know, the list of supported resolutions is determined solely by the graphics card. It is possible that one used by the PC supports only 800 x 600 as maximum resolution, even if you plug an external monitor.

    Like Dennis suggested, the recommended option would probably be to develop on another PC and only deploy an executable for the industrial PC. That's what we do with our systems (although not because of this problem, but because it makes sense. There absolutely no need to have the IDE installed in most of our systems).

    Other options:

    1. See if you can get an update of the driver from the manufacturer to solve this problem.
    2. Plug a USB Monitor with its own driver.
    3. Try to hide the taskbar and make the smaller title bar in the hope that the bug manifests.
    4. Try remote access in the PC. I think that some remote access programs allow you to specify custom resolutions that are not affected by the original drivers. Remote Desktop seems to be a likely this option even if it has been awhile since I've used it.
    5. Check the BIOS. I saw at least one industrial PC where there was some settings in the BIOS to control the resolution, but I don't remember the details, and it was quite limited. I think that in this case, you can change the resolution, but then the image does not fill the entire screen.
  • Hi, how can I change the screen resolution?

    Hello

    I don't think there is a problem with Firefox, but I got a peek inside and I think I'm able to help.

    The screen resolution is a Windows 8 setting you need to change. I found this walk through (with screenshots) that should help you.

    I hope this helps, but if not, please come back here and we can look at another solution for you.

    I just bought an external monitor for my L300. The screen resolution is 1920 x 1080, but the maximum available on my L300 is 1280 x 800. The utility Service Station tells me that all my drivers are up to date - is there a way I can increase the graphics resolution? Any suggestions much appreciated!

    Hi PeterSouthon,

    Need to unlock the other screen resolutions. Simply uncheck the option Hide modes that this monitor cannot display as you can see on [THIS | http://blog.wildvista.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Lightroom_hide_modes-340x400.png] photo.

    After unchecking this box, you should be able to use the native screen resolution of your external display.

  • Tecra S4: Screen Resolution only shows max 1024 x 768

    Hello

    my laptop is a Tecra S4, Windows XP sp2 and a Nvidia Quadro NVS110M like a graphics card.

    While the technical specification shows the max 1400 x 1050 with internal toshiba LCD screen resolution, windows xp displays that 1024 x 768 as max screen.

    I've updated the drivers from the Toshiba site, but I can not yet move beyond 1024 x 768.

    How can I unlock other resolutions?

    Thank you

    I think I need to clarify something because it looks like you n t know that the Tecra S4 has been delivered with different hardware specifications.

    Contains first the Tecra S4 has been shipped with 2 different.
    It supports two different views of color TFT
    -15, 1 "(1024 x 768)"
    -15, 1 '' (1400 x 1050) "

    It seems that you have purchased a Tecra S4 model which was equipped with a 15.1 "(1024 x 768) display and higher resolution is not available!"

  • Page of Yahoo mail that says 'there a screen resolution problem". A in case of problems with all stakeholders, even all the browsers. The question is Firefox!

    I have the latest version of Yahoo mail. When I click on the link "mail" of my Yahoo homepage, he directs me to a page that reads, "There is a problem of screen resolution". In the body of this page, it explains how to fix the problem. BUT, I don't have a problem with the resolution - the screen resolution should be 1024 x 600 or greater and IT IS! This only happens with YOUR browser. I have Chrome and IE, neither of which is a problem. I worked with a representative of the yahoo mail support and he explains that it IS a problem with Firefox and for raise you awareness and fix the problem - I use a Vista operating system on a computer and Windows 7 on my other computer, which has the same problem, so we KNOW for sure, it's a Firefox issue.

    I don't think that the effects of this question all those who use Firefox because I'm able to visit Yahoo Mail without any problems. I would say that to reset the zoom of the page on the page, this issue occurs on. You can do these steps go to view > Zoom > reset or press (Ctrl + 0 (zero).

  • NB200 - can't change screen resolution

    Hi, I have a strange problem with a netbook NB200.

    The screen resolution is set to 1024 x 768 with the lowest resolution to be together is 800 x 600 as a result no parameter displays correctly on the netbook screen and the Start button, taskbar, etc are missing.

    The native resolution for this machine must be 1024 x 600 - however, it is not available in the list of troubleshooting steps that can be chosen.

    Here are the steps that have been taken so far;

    (1) to restore the machine to resolution of parameters - the parameters of origin of wiping machine - factory defaults to 1024 x 768
    (2) load the latest version of the BIOS just to see if the BIOS had an impact - don't think it would, but I tried anyway.
    (3) the adapter graphic to uninstall and reinstall the Toshiba europe site (intel 945 mobile (r) express chipset)
    Graphic adapter installed okay more low resolution is 800 x 600 and 1024 x 600 option is not available.
    4) noted that the default monitor is still listed as "digital flat panel 1024 x 768".

    At present, the only way to use it is with an external monitor.

    For now it doesn't help as a netbook - someone has any ideas to try because I am running out of ideas with this one.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi foxpc123,

    All that you have done is correct and you have tried everything, but if the factory settings doesn't help reset and screen resolution is automatically 1024 x 768, again, he must a serious malfunction of equipment. I can imagine something with the graphics card itself is not okay and so the monitor properties can t be detected correctly.

    You need to contact a service provider authorized in your country. Guys can check the equipment and replace it. I put t know how old is your notebook and if it s under warranty, but the warranty repair material is free. This means that technicians can fix that for free, but if not, you will have to pay for the repair.

    So the easiest way is you contact with the guys and talk to them. I m that you can clarify this with the technicians. ;)

  • How can I change screen resolution in firefox in 1280 x 720

    Recently, I switched to windows vista ultimate.
    I installed firefox 4.0.1.
    When I open firefox the screen resolution goes to 1280 x 720 to 800 x 600 (or 640 x?).
    How can I fix so I have 1280 x 720?

    If I have to can use Win Explorer how I transfer my firefox bookmarks to explore

    I think that this may be caused by a parameter in the shortcut that allows you to start Firefox. If you close Firefox and right click on the shortcut (for example, on the desktop or quick launch, is relevant), choose Properties, then the Compatibility tab, try to clear all settings. Then restart Firefox. Who help me?

  • Satellite L650: Is it possible to get the higher screen resolution?

    L650-1CH 15.6 ", 1366 x 768.
    ATI HD5650 1 GB

    Passionate about hardware, so please don't feel expected excessive things for me.

    Is it possible to get a screen resolution higher than stock, or better with the color / contrast?

    I was always annoyed how to wash the stock on my watched Toshiba screen. Recently the screen is cracked, so I figure now is the best time to look at the options.

    Google gave me very little information so far. I checked prices on replacement of the screen, with the part about being 60 and part + service with an average of 120, but that most likely leaves me with the same or lower screen quality.

    I hope to find something more suited to the movies / games and in 1600 x 900 if possible.

    Indications as to where I should start my search?

    Hello

    > Is it possible to get a screen resolution higher than stock, or better with the color / contrast?
    Yes, this should be possible since the graphics card should support a higher resolution.

    The laptop supports display TFT 15.6 "(HD).
    You certainly have the same screen size.

    Hi, I have a Tecra M5 and just bought a BenQ G2220HD monitor. However, I can't display the native resolution of 1920 x 1080. I guess it's a problem with my video card.

    If so, can anyone please suggest what video card, I need to buy?

    Hello!

    I checked the manual of your laptop (it can be downloaded from the Toshiba site) and it seems that the resolution 1920 x 1080 is not taken in charge.
    Here is the list of manual of the supported screen resolutions:
    640 x 480
    800 x 600
    1024 x 768
    1280 x 1024
    1600 x 1200
    1920 x 1440
    2048 x 1536

    I think that should answer your question ;)

    And as Akuma says the graphics card can t be exchanged because it s soldered onto the motherboard. In the area of the FAQ in the forum, I founded this interesting article:

  • Satellite A200-1AX: Win7 has very limited screen resolution

    ?:| Can someone help me please?

    I have a SCREEN RESOLUTION (1280 x 800) after that I went to w7, before I can get about 1600 x 1280 when I was in very limited vista. I lost my vista recovery disk so I decided to go with w7, but after that I did some installations/updates to update for all my drivers again my screen resolution gives me the size 1280 x 800 maximum.
    Anyone? Please? I need your suggestions...

    -J' have a Satellite A200 1AX (recently moved from vista to w7)
    -Screen: 15.4 "
    -My graphics card is ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600.
    -I just downloaded the latest driver from ATI.

    Please tell me what I'll do.
    Thanks in advance guys...: D
    Jeje

    > Until I can get around 1600 x 1280 when I was in vista
    I can't believe that why?
    Because the screen internal 15.4 "WIDE XGA supports a maximum resolution of 1280 x 800.
    Max which is possible on the internal display, and as a result, you will not be able to choose a higher resolution on the internal display.

    The resolution of the external display may be higher but not the resolution of the screen internal.

  • Portege R700 - cannot adjust the 1366 X 768 screen resolution

    My screen does not have the entire screen - he ends up on about 2cm on the right side.

    The problem is that I can't adjust the 1366 X 768 screen resolution. Highest on the list of options is 1200 X 800. I downloaded the current driver - but it does not help. I used system restore a few times and it is sometimes useful, but not always - IE, it defines the resolution of 1366 X 768, and all goes well.

    It makes me crazy!
    It's a R700, windows 7, 64 bit.

    Are you using the original Toshiba recovery image? I mean the original pre-installed OS that you got with your laptop?

    I mean the original image is designed for certain model of laptop, so I can't imagine that this problem occurs with the Toshiba drivers.
