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.

Have you used Windows Update and update HP to see if this installs the driver appropriate?

  • After the release of windows vista service Pack 2 and flash 10 my system continues to blue screen

    After the last update of windows vista service Pack 2 and flash 10 that my system continues to blue screen, the solution has advised windows that will fix it is to uninstall flash and reinstal, it dosent solution work any ideas? I tried to roll back to Flash 9 and it's less, but happens again... someone has any ideas?

    First, uninstall Flash to make sure that's not the problem.  If the problem persists and if the problem is related to the installation of Vista SP2 (as seems to be the case), then Support Microsoft offers free technical support for installation of Vista SP2 issues at: https://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?prid=13014&gprid=582034&st=1&wfxredirect=1&sd=gn.  They are experts on these issues and you should take advantage of the offer, although it is still free.  I'm sure they will be able to help you.  Minimize (but do not deny) the update of Flash and to focus on the installation of SP2 when you explain the problem.

    I hope this helps.  If this isn't the case, after return and we'll see what we can do.

    Good luck!

    Hi Shilohgold,

    Generally, this problem is caused because of the video card related questions. I would like to know some information about this problem so that we can help you further.

    1 update you are trying to install? (Mention the number of KB)

    2. do you get any error code or error message?

    Try the following steps to verify that update failed recently.

    a. press Windows + Q keys.

    b. type view update history in the search option.

    c. click view update history .

    d. research update failed recently.

    I suggest you try to update the video card drivers from the Web site of the manufacturer of the computer or from Windows Update and check if it works for you. This has the same step in troubleshooting provided in the original post, but here I add steps so that it can be easy for you to update the drivers.

    See Microsoft Help next to update a hardware driver that is not working properly.

    Please reply with the status of the issue so that we can better help you.

    1366 x 768 is the strangest resolution that I've ever heard of. Your video card drivers helped "keep the proportions" and decided to not to stretch imagine because I assume that you can't choose this exact resolution in the game. If your monitor has an overdrive video or image format option, you can enable or disable that or if you have a NVidia card, you can change the picture format option in the properties of the video card.

  • My screen is too big for my screen and I can't fix it

    For some reason, my screen is now too big for my screen. I can see is over the top (File, edit, minimize, close) or down (the Start button, the clock) at the same time without having to move my mouse in these articles. But it's not fair when I use the internet. That's all the time. When I try to change the resolution, it doesn't change what I see on my screen and I do not see how much of it. Restart do no good either. I have an Eee PC Netbook, model 1005HA. It is brand new. Can anyone think what I can try? Thank you!

    In fact, I realized what it was. Apparently, my screen was changed into a different mode, to do this. How he got that way, I don't know, but it's fixed now. Thank you!

    Hi Rangerlone88,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    Do you get the display only problem with the games online, or also on the desktop?

    What browser do you use to go online?

    If you use Internet Explorer, you can check the level of zoom in the bottom right of the screen and set it to your liking.

    You can also try to optimize Internet Explorer.

    1. Open Internet Explorer.
    2. Click Security, and then click delete browsing history.
    3. In delete the browsing history area, click Remove.

    A progress bar is displayed to indicate that the browsing history is currently disabled. Once this process is complete, test Internet Explorer to verify that it works correctly.

    To learn more about optimizing Internet Explorer, follow the link.

  • my screen is too big to fit on the screen. Handly I get it back to normal size?

    Everything on my screen is too large - it is amplified. How can I get it back to normal?

    Change the screen resolution

    1. Open display settings by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, on appearance and customization, personalization, and then clicking display settings.

    2. Under resolution, move the slider to the desired resolution, then click on apply.

  • Everything on the screen is too big

    having a problem with the size of the screen can see everything on the screen, it is too big

    do not know how to set the size of the screen everything is too big

    If you speak together, this can sometimes be corrected by adjusting the display settings.  Go to start / Control Panel / customization / display settings / advanced settings / list all Modes and select a different option.  Those with a higher number usually result in images on-screen snakker (and text smallerr).  Test to see if it helps with your problem.  Once you find that you like, click OK and then again in the program.  Windows will now use this new display with all screens and programs setting.

    You can also view the post of dwanachitchat in http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistaappearance/thread/73caab07-bfb5-4640-b039-d78797b9c2d4.  It's the opposite problem, but you just need to do things the other way to make smaller things.

    I hope this helps.
