• Unable to save the screen resolution settings

  I have Windows 7 Ultimate and just updated my monitor that supports 1920 x 1080 resolution.  I changed the resolution 1920 x 1080 and click on apply and OK.  When I log off and back on or restart the machine the screen resolution dates back to 1680 x 1050, which was my old monitor resolution.  My monitor is correctly identified by brand and model in the advanced settings and resolution of 1920 x 1080 is always available, Windows just won't save!

  I can make a permanent change in the registry?  It becomes annoying to have to adjust the resolution of every time!

  Thank you.

  I FOUND THE SOLUTION (to my problem at least).  It turns out that it's Windows Live Mesh that was causing the problem.  Uninstalled Live Mesh and no longer have the problem.  Guess I don't use mesh until they solve the problem with the solution of problems.

• Hi, how can I change the screen resolution?

  I keep saying to change the resolution of the screen but don't know how to proceed and would appreciate some advice before doing the wrong thing.

  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.

• XP update demolishes my Qosmio G10-133 screen resolution

  I'm running a two years old G10-133. Great and reliable machine. The reason why I bought it was because he has big screen resolution/sharpness for MS Word and Outlook emails texts.
  For various reasons that I do not download the MS Windows updates that are often available in a pop-up at the start (hint that they may bring more problems than they solve). In any case I have recently (despite running Norton Security all the time) picked up some kind of malware villain in Google which diverts approximately 50% of the links google after a search and then sends to an another search engine with links.

  The Norton firewall and windows not picking up these or clean them up, so I tried the free Spybot to get rid of them to no effect.

  Finally rang Toshiba Europe support and the guy he recommended that:

  (1) do not use Norton. Waste of time and money and slows down the machine. Download the new freeware Windows Defender instead.
  (2) do all the XP updates
  So I started with all the windows updates (charges), including Internet Explorer 7.

  Guess what, after restart the computer is a bit slow grumpy, but worse still, the screen resolution (sharpness and clarity of the text) has deteriorated in Word, Outlook and Explorer.

  So I called Toshiba support again (I'm on a contract of three years warranty) and they could not solve the problem or propose something and seemed surprised that happened. We checked the things of common screen resolution in control without result panels.

  Then I gave up, train of the restoration of the system before any updates.

  The computer is now stable and the resolution of screen back to where it was.

  Issues related to the:
  (1) can I get XP and 7 EXP updates and still get my old (better) screen resolution.
  (2) what to give up idea good/safe Norton for Windows Defender?
  (3) any ideas on how to prevent the diversion of Google links?

  Any help much appreciated

  Hello

  1.) it's very strange and I have never heard bad display quality after the installation of the updates from Microsoft!
  I think you should try to contact the Microsoft support and maybe they know something about this strange behavior.
  But have you tried to update the graphic driver and/or BIOS?

  (2.) it is true. I installed the Norton System Works several months ago and my unit started very slowly with preinstalled Norton Antivirus.
  I removed and use and freeware AntiVirus application called "Antivir".
  I don't want to use the MS Windows Defender. But I'm not saying that this application is bad.

  (3) I don't know what you want to do, but I don't think it has anything to do with your Toshiba laptop ;)

• Satellite A500: Can not change screen resolution

  I have an A500 - 15 M with a 16 "display, which is more than a year.
  He worked always very happy with a resolution of 1366 * 768, which is the size of the screen (a little unusual).

  No reason apparent, this morning, it starts with a screen resolution of 1280 * 800 and does not anyway to get back to its normal resolution.
  The result is a screen that is not full width of the screen, but which covers the bottom.

  Vista option display settings will not allow anything beyond the amount of 1280 * 800 and no fiddling with the graphics settings (Intel) will fix the problem.
  OS is Vista32 but the problem is still there after a relocation in 64-bit mode.

  I have this terrible feeling that I did something really stupid, but I am at a loss now - any suggestions or help would be very appreciated

  Hello

  You have an Intel graphics card?
  I think that first you need to update the graphics driver.
  To be honest, I never had no problem changing the screen resolution, but I would like to reinstall the driver first.

  I think you could try the latest driver for graphics card in the Intel page.
  These drivers should be up to date so try it out and then try to change the resolution again.

• Satellite C70 - A - 16 L - screen resolution problem

  Hello

  I recently had a screen resolution problem with my laptop (C70 - A - 16 L).
  The max screen resolution which is imparted to me is 1366 x 768, whereas before I think he used 1600 x 900.

  I tried the latest drivers, Bios, etc. and have also restored the operating system to a previous backup, as well as a new installation.
  I also tried to roll back to Windows 7 (with proper drivers). They all offer the same problem.

  This new maximum resolution display correctly - as if the LCD does not deal with the timings of 1366 x 768.
  I believe that the Panel is OK and the problem he reports the EDID information properly - to force windows to use the new resolution.

  Is there a download monitor.inf file that can be used to bypass the EDID reported by the Panel?

  Kind regards

  Antwist.

  If the right to display drver is usually installed everything should be OK.
  Have you installed Intel driver Toshiba download page 9.17.10.3062 version?

• Display HP 500 MT b screen resolution

  Display resolution of the screen does not stay at zoom 150 more. It keeps coming back to a small font size 100 zoom. I've already updated the drivers.

  I have tried these things.

  How can I get my screen resolution to stay in a 150 police? It keeps zooming to 100 whenever I Browse. I downloaded the update video drivers (who doesn't), I tried Panel & alt + v I have Windows 7 Professional on a HP 500 b Mt. thanks.

  It will be used by default once you navigate away from the page that you put the zoom on.

  1. In Internet Explorer, click on Tools and then click Internet Options.
  2. On the general tab, click accessibility.
  3. Select Ignore colors specified on Web pages, ignore styles specified on Web pages policeand checkboxes ignore sizes police specified on Web pages and then click OK twice.

  See step 2:  Customize the police, the size or color of any element of Windows

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310543

  And, finally, this involves editing the registry.  Don't forget Windows registry backup before making changes:

  Back up the registry

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/back-up-the-registry

  Open Regedit and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER Explorer\Zoom.

  In the right pane is a list for ZoomFactor.

  Double-click it and click on the button next to Decimal.

  Change the value of 100000 to 150000, click OK and exit Regedit.

  Now whenever you open IE, it should be zoomed about 150%. This will also zoom all new tabs open.

• 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

  Hope that this help is the only way it would work for me ~ JUZTICE

• 21 "screen does not support screen resolution by default/Vanilla in some games start

  Hi DikembeMutombo,

  As is the case with only the Steam platform, I suggest you to contact the manufacturer of the game. It could be the problem related to display card not supported by the resolution of the game.

  You can try to adjust the resolution of the game and the match with the resolution of the screen.

• Windows will not update the screen resolution and the color depth

  Out of the blue today, my Windows XP installation had its color depth and screen resolution back to the lowest setting and whenever I try to update it refuses to put up-to-date.

  I even try to restart my computer and a bubble appears downstairs offering reset the color depth and resolution to my automatically.  When I click, it appears as if he's trying to return to normal, but again once nothing happens - the colors and the screen resolution is still at the lowest setting.

  Can any ideas on how I fix?

  Hello

  Here are some things to try to fix it.

  Change the screen resolution.

  "How the resolution screen on Windows XP"

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/Videocards/HT/screenres.htm

  You can also right-click on an empty desktop > properties > settings > it the slider bar allows you to increase the resolution > Apply > OK > agree in the next window, etc.

  If that fixed it, have damaged you graphic drivers.

  Access the site on your computer or the manufacturer of the graphics card > look for a driver download Section > search for your model number and operating system > get graphics / video / Chipset Drivers (depending on how it is formulated) > download and install.

  Change the screen resolution.

  You can also try a system restore before all these problems started:

• 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?

• Why a spare screen resolution would affect the speed of the system?

  I changed my screen resolution from 1024 x 768 to 800 x 600 to test a Web site that I built and that includes another CSS file for 800 x 600 screens. Immediately, I noticed that most of the common functions I do in Explorer - as the opening and closing of windows, goes into the secondary drive, by clicking on the menu Starrt to display programs - were almost twice as fast. The reason for this?

  Hi okieseeker,

  If the graphics card supports higher resolution, then it is one that is recommended to optimize the computer's performance.

  If you decrease the resolution, it would cause the variation in the performance of the computer.

  Hope the helps of information.

  Please post back and we do know.
