Wide screen problems

Hello everyone, I just installed Windows 7 yesterday and everything was good.

But then I went to a game, and all of a sudden, my screen thought it was a 4:3 screen, resulting in a black area in both sides of the screen. Only leaving a picture in the middle of the screen, well, as a 4:3 screen.

I was wondering if you could help me with this, because it is quite annoying.

Hello, Rasmus

Thank you for helping to test Windows 7!

The resolution depends on the game you are using. It will be necessary to support a screen resolution, and generally you will need to put everything first through the options.

You can find others with a similar problem on the Support of Windows 7 forums at the following link: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/w7itpro

  • Wide screen problem

    Got a dv81100 here, the big screen 1080 p on Windows 7.
    Old stretched (transversely) software to adapt to all the useful area on the monitor, or even do not support native widescreen.

    That magic can happen on XP, but I had to go back to this 7 and have black bars on both sides.

    Is there a way to stretch a software specific fullscreen for use throughout this region?

    I mean... I know that there are ("use to happen on XP")... at what POINT?

    Hello

    The option that you need should be in the Nvidia Control Panel.  This should be in the normal control panel.  You should be able to adjust the size of the screen, resolution etc here.

  • Cannot set resolution wide screen on Satellite A100

    I have a Hanns G HG216D 22 "(visible de 21,6")) LCD display external, who hails from WSXGA (1680 x 1050) and is horrible to other resolutions. "
    I can't select the correct resolution in XP or Vista (I know, because having failed I restored (clean install of authentic Pro with SP2 disc) XP then failed on XP used a Vista Business Upgrade disc to try Vista.)
    But nothing helps: (.)

    The laptop is a Toshiba A100 PSAA8 with a graphics processor Intel 945 G Chipset.

    Here's what I've tried:

    There is a driver on the disk of the specifically labeled monitor as for Vista 32-bit, so I used the disc have... 'trick' via Device Manager to force Vista to use this INF file, I tried adding EDID (or was - this CSD, something like that) data to the pilot (after driving backward before re - apply incase she thought it was the same driver), I tried PowerStrip, although I'm not familiar with it, 99% some it work well (, one of the first things I tried was using the specially created driver for this chipset that is designed to solve this problem very issue (http://www.Intel.com/support/Graphics/SB/CS-028366.htm)), any ideas?

    The LCD has DDC2 and activated but EnTech MonInfo cannot get any data from it. I think I should go back to Linux; never had a technical problem I can't solve there (only DRM related issues, etc.), only problem I use this machine for work and don't mind using virtualization for some things but not for "critical to pay my rent" stuff!

    I don't have another machine to test the screen either, as my sister lost with my laptop alternative.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated :).

    Hey Buddy,

    Then I read a little in some forums on your question. The first question is: have you updated your BIOS? It's really important because many users in the forums Ubuntu has reported that, after that an updated bios updated widescreen stuff work. Since the you´re works with Vista, I would say firstly you update your BIOS, remove all drivers display with 'Driver Cleaner Pro' and then try the drivers from the website of intel again (as an especially for this wide screen problem)

    Maybe it works, I confused why it doesn't since this chipset is designed to pull many of the higher resolutions and even all res widescreen 1680 x 1050 and 1440 x 900.

    Just give a short answer on your situation. :)

    Welcome them

    P.S.: If you try with linux check this thread on the ubuntu forums:

  • Wide screen is not fully used (Win XP, Service Pack 3)

    Bought a Monitor wide screen LCD (Asus VE276Q) to replace my existing LCD display.  RGA is an entry.

    Problem: The wide screen is not fully used.

    Symptom: When starting, during Win XP Welcome screen, it seems that takes full advantage of the wide screen.

    But when he moved to the office (or a web page), about 3 inches on the left and right sides are not used.

    What I tried: play with the buttons on the monitor, but may not have to work.

    Question: How can I get Win XP to fully use the display on the big screen?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • I'll buy a range wide screen for the right reason?

    I currently shoot Adobe RGB, correct color using XRite color passport (when I can), test in lightroom and print using a Canon Pixma pro 9500 mk2.

    I use photo munki color to match my two monitors to my printer and I have enough happy with my results. However both my monitors are sRGB, during proofing I often get warnings from the range of monitors.

    My plan is to keep a sRGB for the web and games and replace the other monitor with a range wide screen.

    I get a new monitor independently, so I was wondering if I should get the following screen:

    http://www.Amazon.co.UK/GP/product/B00B1QTZOE/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8 & PSC = 1

    for the following reasons:

    1. The only thing in my workflow that can not handle a wide range is my monitor
    2. It is seems the best value for a range wide screen
    3. I think I can use my existing hardware standard to create profiles to keep constant color, so if the monitor is calibrated in the factory is not relevant
    4. The calibrator built controversial material is not a big problem for me because I have my own equipment

    Am I missing something?

    Should I spend the extra money on a NEC or an Eizo?

    I'm not a professional; However I like to shoot and print. I want to print to be the best it can. I understand that I can get good results with sRGB workflow, but it really upset me when I want to print a photo that clearly my monitor struggles to make.

    I always recommend Spectraview 272 - if you have the money for it. The only one to compete with it is the Eizo CG 276.

    It is much more than the range, it's true colors, good tonal separation all the way from 0-255 and consistency from corner to corner. And hardware calibration ensures absolutely smooth gradients without color or tonal stripes.

    I also want to overcome all the problems with how windows supports multiple mismanagement on lut on a single GFX card which has two setup screens

    There is no problem; It is a myth strangely long life. There was a little problem with pre - SP1 Vista, where the LUTE was put at the door when the monitor went to sleep or the UAC has been invoked. It has been corrected in SP1 and has never been seen since. The only other possible problem is a Stallion without support monitor multiple (as the Spyder4express), but you can't blame Microsoft for this.

  • The images appear horizontally stretched on wide screens

    I am facing a problem where the pictures are horizontally stretched on wide screens. Is it possible to make them appear correctly on all screen resolutions? as the detection of the resolution of the monitor of the user and apply a script or something.

    If it is stretched, one of two things happens.

    1. the monitors are not configured correctly.

    2 and by far the most likely, who created the design did a screen which was not established to the appropriate resolution. It may have sounded good on this machine, but it will look horrible on each other.

    Edit: If you are the one creating the graphics, make sure that your monitor is set to its native resolution.

  • IPhone screen problems 5

    I have an iphone 5 with screen problems.  When the phone turns first of all, I can't drag the screen to enter my security code.  The screen is blank.  It will take several times before it stand for a long time, just enter the code.  I also have problems with the original key.  I downloaded the virtual home key, and I'm sure now.  However, when the screen is blank, I use the key home, which does not always, to get it back again.  It's very frustrating.  I'm 1.8 GB for use available, my capacity is 12.5 GB so I don't think that's all. I use the cloud for storage of photos, etc.

    Hello. Try resetting your device. This will not erase your data stored on that device.

    • Press and hold the sleep/wake button
    • Press and hold the Home button
    • Press and hold both buttons until the display turns off and on again with the Apple logo on the subject.

    Alternatively, you can go to settings - general - reset - Reset all settings

    If that doesn't work, restore your device to factory settings. Please note that this will delete the data on your device.

    Take a look this Apple Support article: use iTunes to restore the iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support.

    As a final step, try recovery mode. Turn off your unit, then plug it to your computer with the hold home button. Hold down Home button until you see the logo of iTunes on the screen of your device. After that on your computer, you should see the iTunes window saying that your device needs to be restored to factory settings. Click Restore.

    If these steps do not work, contact Apple and ask for help.

    I have a new wide screen LCD TV with a VGA port, I connected this with my old Satellite 5205-s505 via the VGA port as the second screen. But it displays 'unsupport signal' on the TV screen.

    Can someone have the answer.
    Thanks anyway.

    Hey,.

    Normally, your computer user manual laptop, you will find a list of the supported screen resolutions and you should check this!

  • How to activate the resolution wide screen to external monitor on Equium A60?

    Hello

    I had an Equium A60 with an ATI Radion 7000 mobility grahpics chip in it. Earlier the LCD is dead and has decided to use an external monitor rather than replace it. However, the external monitor is a monitor 22 '' widescreen computer does not provide a display suitable for resolution. Is it possible to update the graphics driver to provide the wide screen formats. I looked on the toshiba updates, but there is nothing new there, and ATI are not ready to support offer it on a laptop.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    You can't choose your preferred resolution because the graphics driver does not support.
    Eventually the 3rd party driver support your favorite display resolution, but to be honest I wouldn't use these drivers because it could cause serious difficulties for laptop.
    The point is that these 3 third-party drivers are untested and not certified by Toshiba.
    Therefore, the use is at your own risk.

    Good bye

  • How to activate the resolutions of wide screen on Satellite Pro A10

    Hello

    I looked through various positions through the forums, but have not found how to activate the wide screen on a Toshiba Satellite Pro A10 resolutions.
    The 2 following wires offer partial answers:

    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=19677

    The solution in the 2nd post won't work because the A10 has an Intel graphics card, not a Nvidia. He suggested also, modify the INF of the graphics driver, but to extract the driver (SA10B2DP.exe) file includes an installer, but no INF.

    Just look to see if anyone has any advice on how to activate the resolutions such as 1440 x 900 or 1680 x 1050.

    Hello

    you mean on the external screen, Don t you? If you have an intel chipset graphic why Don t you download the drivers from the website of intel.
    Maybe it offers a resolution of the external display.

    I don't know if the res external can be set to widescreen on this chipset as the drivers are somewhat limited...
    Can you describe what monitor you have and how you connect it to your machine. (d-sub or DVI)?

    Would appreciate some reactions :)

  • On the Satellite 1800-921 black screen problem

    Hello
    My satellite 1800-921 has started to give me a black screen after I turn it on. It loads well, go to the desktop and then the screen turns white and I can't make it respond. We can just distinguish the dialogs on the screen so I don't know if it is a screen problem or things I see on the screen are just ghosts...
    It's a bit worrying!
    Does anyone else have this problem? So far, it seems to happen when I turn it on. Usually, I have to turn it off and reboot to get it back and then it works very well.
    Thank you
    Nancy :)

    Hello

    to the old series, it may be that the FL inverter is broken or damaged the tupe of backlight. In both cases, you can see the screen but without backlight!

    To differi if it is a hard - or software error, you should start the laptop and ESC immediately to enter the BIOS. Then the machine must be running half an hour in the BIOS. When the rupture occurred it is quite sure that some hardware is broken. Otherwise, it is a software based and a restore with recovery CD Toshiba should solve the problem!

    Hello

    The question is what that jack the external display supports?
    I think that you can connect each external monitor, but you must be sure that the laptop will support the cable from the laptop.
    In addition, the resolution of the screen may be different. As far as I can remember that some screen resolutions are not listed in the properties of the graphics card. But I think that you don't need to use the resolution of the screen exactly one.

    I recommend taking the laptop at the dealership to monitor and its connection. You can check the output quality of monitor and what resolutions are available and taken care of. I think that testing before buying something are very useful.
