Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

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.

See you soon.

  • After each start up, screen resolution changes

    Under Windows XP.  I replaced my hard drive and since this event, my screen resolution changed.  When I change it back, it's OK for the rest of this session, but then, after a reboot, it is back.  I need to change once again.   How do I 'Finalize' my change to the resolution I want?  Maybe I did something wrong with the installation on the new hard drive.  Any suggestions?

  • Screen resolution changes

    Hey guys,.

    My screen resolution changes while I use my computer. The text is the most notable, change to a lower resolution. It seems to happen when I'm using the Windows Explorer, but it's pretty random. Sometimes, the icons in the system tray will disappear too. For example, I have a file open, with a list of files, the screen flickers, the solution of problems and some of the graphics and icons disappear or are corrupt. So if I move my mouse over the names of files, they go back to the right size and resolution. So I might end up with half of the text to the right size and the rest all messed up.

    I use Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 on a Toshiba Satellite T110. I recently updated the driver of the CPU, Chipset, and I see that I have enough RAM. I deleted the software, run virus scans, malware scans, registry scans, lower resolution and changed the display settings and Windows Update, but it still happens. As I said, it happens randomly enough, it'll be fine for a while, and the only constant I can see, it's that happens when I use Windows Explorer. Any ideas on what to do next?

    Usually after installing a chipset driver a restart is required, so it may of happened after I installed the driver but should not happen after a restart or the next time you turn on your computer.

  • Screen resolution changes automatically

    Hello, I just installed Windows 7 Home Premium in my Toshiba Satellite M200 Notebook 2 weeks. And it seems that I have a problem with my VGA (Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset Family).

    Sometimes, when I am trying to boot up my laptop and Windows displays the login screen, my screen resolution change to lower resolution. After login, the problem remains the same more Windows to disable Aero. But if I restart my laptop, the problem disappeared. It seems impossible to load the VGA driver during Windows startup.

    I already re - install the VGA driver (had 8.15.10.1912 version of Windows update), also install driver latest Intel yesterday (8.15.10.1930) but they have the same problem this morning. I never had this problem with Windows Vista.

    In addition, in my startup program, I only charge 5 applications: Kaspersky AV HD Audio Control Panel and Intel 3 program (shortcut icon from the bar and screen resolution utility)

    Any help will be appreciated.

  • screen resolution changed after Windows update

    PC: Dell Vostro 220 s

    OS: Windows XP Professional SP3

    Monitor: Dell 2009WFP LCD, is the native resolution of 1680 x 1050 (according to CNET review)

    Problem: After an automatic update of Windows, my screen resolution has been changed to 800 x 600, where the police has been huge and fuzzy on the screen.  Then, I realize now the display settings only have 5 options, 800 x 600, 1024 x 768, 1280 x 1024, 1600 x 1200 and 1920 x 1440.  The last of them is out of range.  So I put it to 1600 x 1200, but everything on the screen appears stretched.

    I tried system 1) at the earliest days of restoration, 2) unplug the monitor and reconnect the monitor, the monitor 3) download the Dell Web site WFP2009 driver, nothing works.

    Nothing has similar problems, how do I get the near resolution of 1680 x 1050, which is classified to the native resolution for this monitor according to the CNET Web site, and I vaguely remember what the maximum resolution in the display settings.

    Appreciate any help.  Thanks in advance.

    Hi mumimi,

    It seems that your system was shipped with Intel graphics card. As several drivers are appearing with exclamation points, I would say that you can download the latest drivers here-> enter the serial number of your system-> select OS--> download/install drivers in good order as given here.

    Please respond to the findings. He won't be far away.

  • Tecra M9: After Vista standy, screen resolution changes automatically

    Hello

    I use a Tecra M9 with Vista SP 1. The current display to the nVidia Quadro VNS 130 M graphics card driver is 7.15.11.126
    My native resolution is 1440 x 900, 32-bit color. (the resolution of the screen)
    Sometimes, when the computer comes out of standby, the resolution changes after the sequence to connect to 1280 x 800 and stays that way. I have to manually change back to 1440 x 900. This isn't always happens, but say all of 1 times 2 the computer wakes from sleep.

    What is a (faulty) driver problem?

    Kind regards

    > Is it a (faulty) driver problem?
    Perhaps this problem could be related to the graphics driver.
    Have you tried to update?

  • Problems with the screen resolution, Cloud based software and Photoshop after the last round of updates Windows 8.1.

    Original title: screen resolution problems.

    Since the last series of Windows 8.1 update the resolution of my monitors has been changed for the worse. I use an AOC 2367 M (resolution 1920 x 1080) as my first monitor and a 42 inch Sony Bravia (resolution 1920 x 1080) as my 2nd monitor. The changes are more noticeable on the Sony Bravia and any adjustment I make to the resolution only make worse it.

    I also have problems with some software clouds as I load using citrix and when I try and navigate once opened software, I can't because the pointer selects a point about 50 mm on the side of the where he is hovering. In fact it is very difficult to open and close as anything and I resorted to the laptop to get concrete results.

    Photoshop now also comes up with a message when I open it up to inform me that the monitor profile seems to be defective.

    Any suggestions would be helpful as I thought initially an another upgrade must follow to correct the ills of windows 8, but appears not to have happened.

    Hi Joseph,.

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to download and install all Windows updates available including optional updates. You can also install the latest device drivers for all devices including display drivers and monitor drivers on the manufacturer's Web site.
