Screen resolution changed with updates

• 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.

• 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?

  Thank you

• 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.

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

  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.

• 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

  charlieMOGUL

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

• The printer screen is hungup with updates of product on the screen

  HP ENVY 5530 - use the printer without fail since 07/29/14. Noticed, yesterday, the printer screen shows: 'Check' product updates and it hangs just at this moment. This post was on the screen of the printer for about 24 hours now. I can always print test pages and documents of other software. But I would like to get the printer to check the updates successfully.

  Resolutions or suggestions for this problem?

  Solved my problem.

  What I did:

  uninstalled all the software associated with the envy of 5530

  unplugged the power cord from the wall and printer

  disconnect the USB cable from the printer

  downloaded the latest version of the software for the 5530 like on HP site

  installation of the software

  Connect the power cord to the wall outlet and the printer

  THIS PART IS IMPORTANT > lifted the top of the printer to expose the inside of the printer where the ink cartridges. This stage caused the error message to delete the printer.

  Then I plugged in the USB cable to the printer and the PC and the printer took over the installation of the software and drivers.

  Now the printer is in working condition.

  NOTE: After it was over. I saw on the screen of the printer that a product update has been active and completed successfully.

  HOPE THIS HELPS.

• Screen resolution signal with Dell E7450 processor and controller. Help!

  Hi All-

  We have some Captivate users who have just received of new computers, touchscreen Dell E7450 processor and controller with WIN8.1 installed.

  We are current users of Captivate 8.

  The issue we encountered is that when attempting to capture using our preferences, screens change resolutions on us.

  Here is what happens...

  1. Changes to the user to screen resolution 1024 x 768 (applys and accepts the change)
  2. Selects to monitor 1, full-screen capture
  3. To start recording; registration ends

  When you look at capturing what we see is that the captured images do not show that 1024 x 768. There are large black borders on one or two sides, and the program that we are captures show left or right raised in a corner.

  When we check the properties, this also shows that the captured resolution isn't what we put on the screen (and still shows). It shows, he changed to 1280 x 960.

  Has anyone else had an experience like that, and if so, how have you solved this.

  We have tried several options, including moving at different resolutions, changing the screen capture to capture the application (which shows the current window too small to see the app), so the addition of an external monitor to see if a capture would work to form it. Nothing seems to work that we can think.

  Any thoughts or resolutions to try would be appreciated that we must make our developers back from work.

  Thanks in advance!

  We managed to find a solution to this problem thanks to Rick Stone...

  The PPP should be set to 100%

  apparently the default dpi has been set at 150% if once we have reset all worked as expected.

• Screen resolution changes after that computer unlocks, starts or restarts

  I'm frustrated with my Dell laptop.  For the past few months after trying to use a higher resolution on my computer, 1920 x 1200 (was 1680 x 1050), he always comes back to 1680 x 1050, that I've had it for awhile.  Yields of resolution 1680 x 1050, when I start the computer completely stop, restart the computer or free sleeping positions, etc.  I am using Windows Vista Premium.  It becomes embarrassing when this happens (back) as a small bubble rises to the bottom say I can improve the resolution of change in 1920 x 1200... GRRRRRRRR

  Does anyone have any ideas or recommendations?

  Thank you guys!  I finally found a new driver installation of Nvidia.  Dell does not seem to have one that solves the problem.

  All is well now.

  Thank you!
