Screen resolution randomly changes from top down

With great frequency, I find that my screen resolution has changed since the highest (1680 x 1050) at the lowest.  It takes much effort with the Control Panel, appearance, customization, display settings to make it back to the highest resolution.  Usually, I have to do in stadiums... Set it to second place, save it and then after about TEN TEST - set for the largest.  No idea why this continues to be and if I can help somehow.  I'll let the computer and the resolution will be fine.  I go back to him and he changed.

My screen is a Samsung SyncMaster 216BW.  I checked for the modernization of the screen, but there is not.  With the help of Visa Home Premium.

Thank you!

You don't want to check for the drivers of the monitor; you want to check drivers for your * video card. Uninstall the old drivers and install the new. If this solves the problem very well. If not, then you use some software buggy in the background that changes the screen resolution or your video card has failed. In the first case, try a clean boot. If all goes well, add things at once, back test after each change until you find the culprit. If a clean boot does not work (and you have already updated the drivers), then you are looking to replace the equipment.

Get the drivers of:

1. site of the device mftr. ; OR
2. site of the card mother mftr. If the material is on board; OR
3. website of the OEM manufacturer for your specific machine if you have a PC OEM (HP, Dell, Sony, etc.).

Read the installation instructions on the Web site where you get the drivers.

To find out what hardware is in your computer:

1. read all documentation that you got when you purchased the computer.
2. If the computer is OEM, access the site Web of the OEM for your specific model machine and look at the specs (you'll be there to get the drivers anyway)
3. download, install and run a program of inventory of the free system like Belarc Advisor or System Information for Windows.

    On my desk, and on other sites that I opened, there are purple streaks that seem to vibrate from top down, any suggestions?

    Hello

    It seems to me not be corrupted graphics drivers or lack of graphic material.

    Go to the website of your computer manufacturer > drivers download Section > then key in your computer model number > find your operating system > find two graphics / video or from the Chipset drivers and download and install.

    If that does not fix it:

    As it is a desktop computer, share your graphics card with a good.

    Or, if graphics card built-in, you will need to install a graphics card in a slot of the motherboard to see if this solves the problem.

    See you soon.

  • The screen resolution has changed.

    After that I have updated to the latest version of Muse, my screen is enlarged. It looks like the screen resolution has changed. How can I change the resolution of the screen on Muse?

    On Windows, 2014.3 Muse now supports 100%, 150% or 200% resolution, according to the scale factor you set in Control Panel. My guess is that you have your control panel set at about 125 per cent and Muse chose the scale factor supported 'closer', which is 150%. We've heard a few users that they would prefer Muse to continue functioning at 100% in this case.

    This sounds like the situation you're in?

    Now, you need to set the scale factor to your screen to 100% having muse running at 100%, but we are working on a solution in the short term to say the Muse to operate at 100% without changing your scale factor of Panel controls.

    Hello

    If you use VISTA SP1 RC2 or RTM shipped version last week with a 945GM Express chipset video you probably having trouble with the screen resolution to 800 x 600 on the release of sleep.

    INTEL has released a new version of the driver on their website v15.7.3. This works very well on my R300 Portage, should work on other machines as well, even if it is a generic driver.

    I hope this helps!

    Hi Gery

    Thanks for the useful information.
    I noticed a similar problem with Vista running on my laptop no-Toshiba, that certainly helps update the graphics driver.

  • Screen resolution/size changes when you use the touchpad

    Bought Probbok 4530 s. Win 7. I continue to have the screen/print resolutiom size change when you use the touch pad. The pointer seems to 'paste' and then when I move it, the screen get is much lower or higher. I continually have to type ctrl + or - to get the size of the screen back to the 'normal '. Is this something to do with the settings for the touchpad or pointer? Its driving me crazy...

    Bruce

    Hell, I think that this is it... Pinch Zoom! I have disabled that, as well as the "allow the theme change mouse pointers" on the pointers tab. I'm playing with it now, and it seems to have solved the problem. I'll let you know if this isn't... Thanks for the great help, Dragon fur!

  • Printer all-in-one screen display has changed from his usual display of a broader look "safe mode".

    Hi Doris Workman,.

    1. What is the brand and model of the printer?
    2. are you referring to the computer screen or the printer?
    3. what function you are trying to use?
    4. don't you make changes to the computer before the show?

    If you are referring to the screen on the All in one printer, then I suggest you to contact the manufacture of the printer.

  • How do I keep content at the top of the table, rather that propagate vertically from top down?

    I have very little experience...

    I have a simple website that I created in DWCS4 that uses simple tables and nested tables.  It's a Web site to display pictures with brief descriptions along the right side.  So I have a picture on the left side in one table and then the text on the right side that is contained in another table, divided into several cells.  The thing I can't understand, is that all of the text in the cells of the right side are distributed evenly along the vertical axis.  Instead, I want the text at the top of each cell.  And Yes, in every cell, I put the text must be aligned vertically at the top.

    It seems to me that maybe the cell heights are either adjusted automatically to spread evenly along the height of the largest left table cells text.  If this is the case, I rather each of those cells to stay static and keep the height that I put for the cells. I put the heights in the cell properties, but this does not change.

    Please, be gentle and give me the dummy version and thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.

    Create a class for the alignment of things upwards, for example

    . Align-top

    Add the vertical-align of the css for this class attribute...

    {.align-top

    vertical-align: top;

    }

    Then add the class to alltag you want lined up on...

    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.

  • I just installed windows vista ultimate on my PC. I am not able to adjust my screen resolution.

    I am not able to adjust the resolution of my screen with Vista Ultimate.  If it's in 16 bits, the graphics are excellent, but the sizing of everything is huge.  There is a slide bar, but I am unable to move it.  It is in the lowest position, and he said get it up for sizing, but it won't let me.  If I use anything other than 16 bits, I can get my sizing down, but my graphics are bad.  Any ideas?

    Go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/laptop > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Vista drivers > download/install them.

    Once you have the latest graphic drivers, then change it.

    If there is no avauilable of graphics drivers for Vista, you're out of luck.

    Hello world

    How can I change my screen resolution?

    Thank you

    Serdar Baykara salvation,

    Right-click on your desktop and in the menu that appears, click Customize. In the window customize, click the display settings link (to the bottom of the window). When opens the display settings window, move the slider to increase or decrease the screen resolution. Make sure that you do not increase the display resolution more that your monitor will build the case, you may have problems. The screen resolution will change and a box will appear asking you if the resolutin is OK. This box has a timeout. If the resolution is OK, and then click the OK button. If it isn't, then click on no and try another resolution of the screen.
