  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.

• When I open Roxio it changes the screen resolution of 256 colors at a very low resolution b and the program will not work.

  My Roxio VHS TO DVD movie editing program has worked on my laptop Toshiba Windows 7 system before I reformatted.  Now when I open Roxio it changes the screen resolution of 256 colors at a very low resolution b and the program will not work.  When I close the program Roxio the resolution of the screen reverts back to 256 colors.  Control of program compatibility tells that it's incompatible, but the program worked on my system before I reformatted.

• Satellite A200 - 14 d: how many times can I change the screen resolution

  I would like to ask if often resolution change may damage the screen of my Satellite A200 - 14 d?

  Because now I'm programming in Assembly in resolution 640 x 480, and whenever I run a program, the screen should change its 1280 x 800 to 640 x 480 resolution, and it takes 1-2 seconds: it is empty, the backlight turns off, then the new resolution appears. I would like to ask if it permanently (often) could damage my LCD?

  Thank you.

  Don't worry man, it will not damage the screen ;)
  You can change the screen resolution often unhesitatingly ;)

• Change the screen resolution - do not show at the edge of the right hand of the document or the screen

  I do an online courses for NSW electoral office and I can't read the right side of the issues. I use Vista business and can not find the option to display, if that's what I have to edit to change the screen resolution. I have a Benq G monitor series 19-inch LCD. This happens sometimes when I go to a bank site or the Centrelink.

• Windows 7 changes the screen resolution when video applications go full screen.

  When I have plenty of screen some video players, that the resolution of the screen on just the ordinary 1080 p 1080 p (native) that has a refresh rate of 60 hz. As soon as I exit full screen it activates again. Would be nice but when it switches the screen is no longer fits the screen and the user interface looks very grainy, the video actually looks very good. Windows Media Player 12 for this, while VLC does not, which leads me to believe its something to do with the way that Windows Media Player makes video (which I think it uses Direct x, which uses VLC OpenGL).  I have this problem on my computer and my brothers computer I customized built. The specifications are very similar, other that my computer has an Nvidia GTS 250, and has a Nvidia GTX 275.  Is there anyway to stop it from doing this?

  Data sheet:

  Intel Core i7 clocked at 2.66 Ghz

  6 GB of ram

  ASUS P6T SE LGA 1366 Intel X 58 ATX Intel Motherboard

  
  

  Just in case people always have a problem with this problem, pls here's a solution that worked for me...

  I spent the last month trying to solve this problem, and "youemailme" (another thread here) had the correct solution for me! And so Simple!

  I noticed on Blogs that this problem has existed for at least Win98 is not your computer or your operating system.

  The question seems to be programs in your Menu has a different screen resolution to set startup, thereby causing the screen resolution change when you start your computer. This isn't a MicroSoft program error, but rather a question of "settings".

  With me, what worked were 2 things:

  (1) perform the 'clean boot process' as advised by many to determine which granted software was causing the problem... and then.

  (2) right click on the name of the program (as discovered in above) 'problem' in the Start Menu > properties > compatibility.  For some reason, there is an option to "run in 640 x 480 screen resolution", which has been verified.  This program was in the startup folder and the cause of the problem.  Then unchecked the resolution box. No problem.

  In my view, there are a large number of people dealing with this exact problem. I hope that this process of step 2 could solve their problems.

  (ps, just thinking about it now, you might not even bother with the 'clean boot process' but simply go through all your programs in your Start Menu and run the 2nd step explained above. Should work?)

  See you soon

• Cannot change the screen resolution. Help, please

  I recently reinstalled Windows XP (service Pack2) on my computer and restored the office to the factory settings. Now, the screen resolution is stuck at 640 x 480 and 16-bit color quality as this was not a problem before. The screen that appears under 'type of screen' in the advanced settings menu says "default monitor" and the properties button is not clickable. I tried to connect another monitor to the PC, but it doesn't help. Can someone help please I really need to change the resolution of the screen to a higher quality? Also, the PC has an internet connection if that makes a difference. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  ... What other drivers in addition to the graphics card and network card should I try to install?

  In fact, those who are newer than your current drivers.

  I understand your reasoning for installing the monitor driver, however, I'd personally chipset (motherboard), video, audio and network (LAN) first. After updating the video driver, there is a chance that it recognises so the screen correctly.

  I don't know if you have reinstalled Windows XP from floppy disks to install Windows or Dell installation/recovery disks or partition restore hidden, but nevertheless, the drivers that were installed during installation is as new as the installation media. Given that the media are at least 5 years and more (maybe 8 years and more), there is an excellent chance that all the material and device drivers have been updated.

  If you know the serial number or the Express Service Code on your machine, you can enter the page linked below and it should display all the downloads available for your computer. Otherwise, you may need to select one of the options under No., for example to choose from a list of all Dell products (it does not list a Dimension 1100/B110 that has many drivers/downloads available).

  The page linked below contains a lot of good informaiton, including a list of drivers and downloads that may be available.

• Definitely change the screen resolution / disabling drivers - how to?

  My monitor broke.
  I have connected my turn to another monitor (with a lower resolution) and it wouldn't load the video mode. I can go into safe mode, change the lowest resolution, but it won't stay like this. I tried system restores. Is there a way to solve this problem without a new monitor?
  My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate
  Is it possible to fix this?

  My another method was to uninstall the video drivers in safe mode, and then restart the computer normally. It would work, but the drivers reinstall themselves and the screen resolution changes do not seem to stay. Is this a problem with my video card?

  Thank you.

  Reinstall the chipset and graphics drivers for your PC manufacturer or support the motherboard manufacturers, rt click on desktop > resolution... by default
  Also check the screen itself, its parameters by default controls

• 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.
