Screen resolution low host, guest of Win2k, Workstation 8, impossible to upgrade windows install

Installed a dinosaur Win2K under my work station 8.  Display stuck at 640 x 480 resolution. 16 colors.

Tried to specify the settings of the monitor, no luck. Found everyone else to install VMWare tools

but when I did, I got "Setup was unable to upgrade windows install" in

The VMWare product Installation dialog box.

Display the size of a postcard at low cost. Barely bigger than my smartphone. This way of working is feeling

like changing the valves of the engine through the exhaust pipe.

Sad having to load Win2K again, but have no choice at the moment...

Any ideas out there?

Hi CanuckWare,

VMware Tools works on Win2K but it requires at least that Service Pack 4 installed in the comments.  If you haven't already done so, try to update your VM on SP4, and then repeat the installation of the VMware Tools.

See you soon,.

  • Screen resolution too big on HP Pavilion dv6608ca after the release of Windows 7

    Hi, I recently updated my dv6608ca HP Pavilion from Vista to Windows 7 64 bit, and all of a sudden the screen resolution is simply too large, even after I adjust onscreen. I searched high and low, here and elsewhere, but can't seem to find the right driver.

    Can someone please?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Different screen resolutions - what is the best method?

    Hello

    I know that this question was asked a thousand times before, but what is the best way and the most reliable to deal with different screen resolutions?

    I read a lot of posts about it and tested on everything: unique, methods, combinations, let labview scale my objects, their scale by myself, etc. Another alternative that I found was to design the front panel to the lower screen resolution, let labview scale objects (graphics, controls tab and decorations) as window increases or decreases and lock "groups of indicators, controls and text" to prevent them from scaling and overlap. However, if I lock these "groups" that they don't move in the right place in the resizing of the window. Then, I put these 'groups' within groups and tried to compensate for the position via the property node, but it was not possible because the 'groups' within the cluster have been locked!

    After all these tests, I realized that the best way to manage different screen resolutions must have a main VI that detects the current screen resolution and load the good VI for this resolution. The problem is that I have a VI for each screen resolution (created one by one) and if I want to move the code I have to do the same task for all the screws

    Since I already have all the screws (for different screen resolutions), I could get the sizes and positions of all the objects through property nodes and create a kind of 'cluster' which, after the detection of the current screen resolution, would be to adjust all the objects. But I have several decorations in the front panel and I can not get information via the node property of them.

    THW way you can prevent the control to move when you're scaling, is to group the controls with 'something' which is placed outside the façade. In the example I give you now, you can see that I have grouped the stop button and the 'red faces' with a 'point' on the left side of the front panel.

  • Screen resolution is wrong - say 1024 x 768, but is in fact 800 x 600?

    OK, this is weird.

    I have Windows 7 running in Parallels on my MacBook Pro.

    I changed my screen resolution to 1024 x 768 to view a Web site, that I am currently in Windows. He did not, which it should, because it is designed for. I talked to someone else and they looked on their machine. He equipped very well. They looked in their version of Win7 in Parallels. It has worked well. I checked on my iMac, running Windows 7 in analogies. Worked well. On a PC, end.

    It seems that on this one computer, when I put the screen resolution of 1024 x 768, it is actually set to 800 x 600.

    Someone at - it ideas why this is happening?

  • Images with lower screen resolutions on Tecra M5 unclear

    Hello

    We have a few M5s with graphics card Intel that works perfectly with the screen resolution of 1024 * 768 usual.
    Now we buy some new ones equipped with nVidia Quadro M5s, and they seem to have a native resolution of 1400 * 1050.

    If I try to measure the resolution 1024 * 768 or 1280 * 1024, the images are badly blurred. But I think that the icons to 1400 * 1050 on a 14 "screen are really too small for the average users.

    No solution?
    Thank you

    Tecra M5 comes with three different views. If you buy one with a higher resolution display, resolution reduced with photo dimmish results.

    Sorry but there is nothing to do. For example, you can connect external monitor with lower resolution.

  • Blurry screen on lower resolutions

    I recently a ThinkPad T61p to work, and it's a great machine, but the native screen resolution is 1920 x 1200 which is too much for my eyes...

    whenever I have change the resolution to a lower value, the screen becomes blurry!

    I searched on the net but found nothing that could help, I updated the nvidia drivers, but who did not do much good either...

    I noticed something, but... in the control panel nvidia, under view-> change flat screen scaling
    "use my screen built larger scale" is dimmed out, when I tried to disable the scaling all together, the blurryness had disappeared, but now of course the screen fills not screen...

    usually, there is a scaling option in the system bios so I rebooted and went into the bios but found nothing there either...

    does anyone have the T61p with the same problem? No matter what known fix?


  • WIndows 7 - can not lower the screen resolution

    I don't know when it happened... apparently, after one of the windows updates because it worked very well, a month or two ago... anyway, here's my problem. A month ago I got the Sims 3 World Adeventures. I installed it and he played wonderfully. I have themselves are involved in the Facebook games and he has not played for a few weeks, but recently decided to go back to the Sims 3. I clicked the shortcut, open Launcher, I clicked on play and my screen went black, then white, then gray, then horizontal strips of red, green and blue, I think that the colors are then complete blue (like the blue BSOD) then he began again, black, white etc. I could alt tab out after a few minutes.  No error message, no beeps and the computer wasn't warm because I had just started before trying to play.

    I'm running on an Acer Aspite Z5600 with touchscreen (its an all-in-one... looks like a monitor etc), Windows Home Premium, 3 gig of ram, op 64 bit, Pentium system dual core, Intel G45/G43 Express chipset. I went to check my graphics settings - the resolution is set in 1920 x 1080 monitor shows a built-in display. I thought that maybe the resolution was causing problems because the Sims 3 do not like this high middle (I never changed it and the game worked before but I thought of one another program may have) when I put the lower resolution and hit apply I had the same changes in strange black on white, etc.. Yet once again, I had to alt tab out... it took forever to do, and my resolution had not changed.  Everything else seems to work fine... my browser and other... I can play some Facebook games and it seems pretty much any game that starts in a window / windowed mode. I changed the settings on the Sims 3 to play in windowed mode and it starts very well (I HATE the windowed mode tho) I decided to do some research and see if I could find a solution later and decided to go play another game, (one of the verizon games I had played before without problem) and he did the same thing as Sims 3 dang. It is a demand pretty weak game graphics-wise (his Poppit to go - even my old laptop can play it.) so having unplayable all of a sudden he had me beat. Color changes look almost like a kind of graphical test. Hope I have not confused LOL thanks everybody for any help.

    I have a reversible temporary solution of 10 steps for this problem, im also using a race of z5600 acer windows 7 and when I try to run anything that changes the resolution of the screen the screen turns black and flashes different colors is a way around this, but you will not be able to use the full screen , and when your done with the game or whatever you will be able to use the full screen new heres how

    1. start

    2 right click computer

    3. click on properties

    4. click on Device Manager

    5. If Conrtol user account appears, click Yes

    6. click on the tab display cards

    7. right click Intel G45/43 Express Chipset

    8. click on turn off

    9. now the display begins to blink and you'll notice that sub-par signifigantly window, you only 3 options for screen resolution size but most of the games will take place and you will be able to see

    10. to make the fullscreen back you will need to follow the same steps as above, then click Activate

  • How to set the lower screen resolution on HP Pavilion

    I'm trying to figure out if its possible to lower my screen resolution of 800 x 600 on my HP Pavilion Sleekbook 14 - b010us running on Windows 8. I need to do that; It is the only way that I can get my pico projector to run using VGA to HDMI - I tried it with my Sony VAIO and it works perfectly. The lowest setting that I see on my HP is 1024 x 768, and it does not work. Any help? Don't want to have to buy a new projector - this one works very well and the HP laptop has a VGA port

    I came across this same issue using the resolution option custom in the Intel driver manager and has had success using mode low resolution.  I had also edited the registry to force more options.  The registry change which resulted in several resolutions between 1366 x 768 and 1024 x 768, but nothing lower.  Windows 8 is not really designed for lower resolutions (at least, which is not the ideal targeted resolutions), so I guess that would be present on any standard notebook Windows 8.

    However, I have relevΘ this site today to make sure I wasn't overlooking anything... and it seems that I was.  I don't know how I didn't have to check the option advanced settings for more resolutions.  This approach does not require mode low resolution to restart, but it's going to require a screen resolution > avancΘs > list all modes to get 800 x 600 option each time you need.

    Let me know if this has answered your questions.

    Could be a hardware failure on the laptop.

    One thing to try as a test is to start from a 'live' as Ubuntu OS (for example), just start it DO NOT install it. See - http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/try-ubuntu-before-you-install - for more details. This should hopefully allow you to see if the screen works well or not in another OS, if it looks OK in Ubuntu, then its less likely to be a hardware problem. But if the screen is still divided, then unfortunately, it could be a hardware failure.

    Other things to try eventually (in no particular order):

    1. set to update your graphics card drivers to the latest compatible drivers available for your laptop, where they have been corrupted somehow.

    2 - is still divided into 'safe mode' or is it OK to whom?

    3. If you look in Device Manager, it shows errors regarding the graphics/display/monitor card?

    4. There is this fixit - http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Windows_Display_Quality_Diagnostics/ - in the center of MS fixit who can be worth it. But I doubt it.

    5. If this just started recently, try a restore point for just before it occurred.

    Assuming that you have already tried to change the screen resolution and depth etc color settings and then restore the default values, you need.
