The resolution on my restored monitor defaults

I recently had a corrupt boot that caused my hard drive failure. I can't get the screen resolution to how to restore my computer which he was. It's a little big or small. Is their default settings for this? How can I get them?

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.

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.

See you soon.

  • How to activate the resolution wide on external monitor on Satellite A40-261

    Hi all
    I have a Satellite A40 laptop and just bought an external display. I find only normal resolutions in the area of comprehensive property. Is it possible to expand the range of wide screen resolutions?

    Best regards, Leander

    Hello guys.

    First of all, I would like to say a few words on the screen resolutions.
    Mainly the resolution of certain is not available because the resolution is not listed in the graphics driver. In other words, if the driver doesn't support this resolution so you will not be able to choose.

    We try to look at a few:
    @BKV
    You have a Satellite M100. As you say that this laptop is equipped with an ATI card.
    Have you checked the settings in the ATI catalyst? Go to display properties and choose Advanced Options. Here, you choose the tab of ATI catalyst.

    New window should open, and you should see the ATU catalyst control center.
    Check the option display the Advanced view display. Check this area. Maybe the resolution is available here.

    This unit uses the graphics card Intel, but Intel tab should also appear in the advanced properties of the graphics card.

  • Forcefully change the resolution in second monitor

    Hello

    I have a macbook pro with the retina display (this is the one before the last macbook pro, I bought this model in January 2015) with the retina and last OSX screen.

    I just bought 27 "screen (http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/monitors/LS27D360HS/ZA). This monitor supports 1080 p.

    I connect my macbook for the HDMI monitor. Everything works well except the resolution in my second monitor.

    I wan to see many different things in smaller size, so I can work with a lot of things at once. However, the second screen resolution is set to 1080 p now, so everything is very big. Is there a way I can make the resolution higher in the second monitor? If I use sight to connect my mac to the screen, it will make a difference?

    Check AppleMEnu > SystemPreferences > displays > Arrangement

    If 'mirror' is set, it synchronizes resolutions.  If you clear the checkbox 'mirror' to try to define every display resolution:

  • Problem with the resolution when you connect to a projector

    I regularly used my laptop connected to a projector via a cable VGA for PowerPoint and video clips view in Windows Media Player.   It is automatically detected and adjusted for different sizes of screen of the laptop screen (1366 x 768) and projector (1024 x 768) and projected with success.   Recently I connected the laptop to a second monitor - also 1024 x 768 - instead, and even once, it fits perfectly.

    It suddenly stopped setting for the resolution of the projector; When I go to the resolution of the screen, the option to set the resolution of the second screen is grayed out.   No matter if I use extend or duplicate, he insists that the two screens are 1366 x 768.   This has happened with two projectors, all two used to work properly.   I also tried different VGA cables.  The end result is that the image of the projector is hurry to tray.

    I can connect fine to the second monitor via the VGA port and sometimes with different resolutions for both screens.   I can also connect to a TV via an HDMI cable.   I can't try a HDMI cable for the spotlight as it is ceiling mounted, and the other is old and is not an HDMI connection.

    I checked the drivers and they seem to be up to date.

    My laptop is a Dell Latitude running Windows 7.   The graphics card is an Intel HD Graphics 3000.   I tried many suggestions already given on these forums without success.   The real puzzle is that it was working fine and nothing I can draw has changed except that I connected on the other monitor.

    Hi Rizwan

    Unfortunately, I do not have a restore point old enough until the problem occurred.   I have not found any that was relevant in hidden devices, but in normal Device Manager mode when I clicked on "monitor" it opened a "Generic PnP" entry even when there was no extra monitor or projector fixed.   When an additional monitor has been attached, there were two of these entries.   I disabled them both, and I found that I can now adjust the resolution of a second monitor to a different setting of the laptop screen.

    Thanks for your help.

  • Cannot restore the resolution of the laptop

    I have an old 15 "Macbook Pro mid-2010. I still mostly run for daily work snow leopard.

    I have hooked to an external monitor and experience the resolution on the external display. I used an external display several times before, but without twisting his resolution.

    In the past whenever I have disconnected externally internal display by default my good laptop back to its native resolution, which seems to be of 1280 x 1024.

    But since my experimentation with a resolution from the outside, it is no longer the case. Resolution "reads" 1280 x 1024 in System Preferences, but the screen is severely "letter-put in a box" with large black bars on each side, no amount of clicking on the various resolutions and return to 1280 x 1024 don't restore correctly display without black bans.

    I tried to zap the PRAM, thinking that that would restore the screen settings internal. But it does not work. Any ideas?

    Try a SMC reset. Article covers when necessary, but this will not affect anything.

  • My monitor occaisionally decreases in the resolution, but according to Windows, it is at its maximum.

    This has happened once before and a day that it just fixed itself.  Now the problem is back, but...

    Basically, I turned my computer (laptop, but I have hooked to a monitor) today, and the resolution of the monitor is bent way down.  When I went to go fix, however, Windows said that the resolution was completely upwards.  The resolution on the screen of my laptop is fine, except my narrowed background image to match the screen.  In addition, in the page of screen resolution, Windows seems to think that my computer laptop screen in about 1.5 times larger than my monitor, if this isn't the case.

    Any help you guys could give would be great!

  • Portege M400: Is it possible to use the resolution 1400 x 1050 on external monitor?

    The Portege M400 SXVGA (i.e. 1400 x 1050) can support 1400 x 1050 via analog / external monitor? I ask this question because I can't do! Most importantly, he is happy to provide, even if the monitor is a TFT 1400 x 1050 screen is 1280 x 1024.

    I downloaded the latest Intel drivers and screen drivers, and although the o/s reports screen as being happy to show 1400 x 1024, it is not an option when selecting the resolutions.

    Is this a known issue?
    It is corrected using digital?
    Am I stupid?

    Hello

    I'm not 100% sure but I think that that it will not support a higher resolution. In my opinion, it is according to the performance of the graphics card and the resolutions supported and not according to the used port.

  • How to set the resolution of the Viewsonic VX2235wm monitor with Pavilion a420n desktop computer?

    1 HP Pavilion A420N

    2 Win XP

    3 Control Panel-> display, does not have the optimal screen resolution, 1680 x 1050 at 60 Hz. The selections available only for a lower resolution without the proportions appropriate for this monitor and the screen image is severely distorted.

    4. installed latest version of the BIOS, video drivers, drivers latest installed monitor, the monitor is a Viewsonic VX2235WM

    Can someone help me out?

    Thank you

    Here are the specifications of your HP a420n desktop and its card mother A7V8X - LA Kamet2-GL6E. The edge VIA Unichrome graphics adapter is old and does not support the extensions on the big screen. 800 x 600, 1024 x 768 and 1280 x 1024 resolutions are more likely that will support the computer, which are all the 4:3 aspect ratios. Based on the above specifications, I would say that after buying and installing a AGP 8 X / 4 X (1.5V) graphics card, your system must manage a 16:10 ratio width / Monitor wide screen without problem.

  • Pavilion p6150t: upgrade of the screw until the resolution of the monitor.

    I just upgraded my p6150t (originally running Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit) Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit using the upgrade disc provided by HP at the time of purchase. The upgrade went well, except that HP Update was no longer on the system after the upgrade. In the case the opposite (even without running upgrade HP), Win 7 works well.

    However, I have a monitor Dell S2209W capable of running at a resolution of 1920 x 1200. With Vista, I could set my display at this resolution. However, with Windows 7, I can only set the resolution to 1280 x 800. I have the original disk for the Dell monitor, but it won't install the driver on this system with Win 7 (same result during the download of the latest version of the driver from the Dell Web site).

    For Vista, the graphics driver on the HP site for this computer has been for NVIDIA GeForce 6210.  But for Windows 7, graphics drivers only listed for this computer is of course ATI unified (in addition to the Intel graphics) driver. As the original graphic card is not ATI, an updated NVIDIA driver would solve this problem?

    Any other suggestions would be welcome.

    Thank you.

    Correction: it's Nvidia GEForce G210, NO 6210.

    In addition, for Win Vista, both the unified ATI graphics card and the drivers for graphic card NVIDIA GeForce G210 are listed, but for Win 7, only the ATI driver is listed.

    Sorry for the confusion.

    Hi there @Les

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! It's a good place to find the help you need, so many other users, the HP experts and other members of the support staff. I understand that you are having problems of display resolution after the upgrade to Windows 7 from Vista. I'm happy to help you with this.

    In response to your question, Yes, because it is a desktop computer you can try the driver directly from NVidia and test it.  You can also try to use the HP Support Assistant and see if she can find the updated or compatible drivers for your system hardware.

  • How can I increase the resolution of the screen on a monitor?

    I have a dell Inspiron 1100 I used in my kitchen today that I decided to put my Inspiron 1525 there instead, because it connects to two monitors to the difference of the 1100 which only supported one. I then moved the 1100 to the living room where it is connected to a 50-inch flat-screen TV. When I turned it on I noticed that the screen was very small, I went into Control Panel and play with the resolution, but even when I had finished that the 1360x7something of resolution came not nearby to fill the entire screen. Is there anyway to increase the resolution or at least to get an image to cover the entire screen.

    Skip this question came in my TV has changed the PC screen settings and everything now works perfectly. This PC is a dinosaur, but if you use it strictly for media on your TV it works more adequately.

    Grateful if someone could help me with this problem.

    I just bought w2408h monitor. My graphics card is the Radeon 9600.

    I hv updated my PC to the latest drivers for my graphics card and the monitor.

    My problem is...

    I use my XP Control Panel > display to change the setting 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz

    When I turn off the screen (leaving the PC running) and later turn it back on - the monitor goes into auto setting and change the resolution to 800 x 600.

    What should I do to stop my monitor to change my resolution deskto?

    Thanking you in advance for any help you could give me.

    I found the solution - actuallyI attached my monitor for my PC using the cables VGA and DVI times. Somehow, my DVI cable is faulty - then when I turn on my screen and then turn it on again - the monitor starts with a DVI mode. Therefore, the problem. Now that I have removed the DVI cable - it works like a charm.
