Window does not fill the screen of the computer

the cursor won't go the black margn. Thblack margins are around the entire screen with a box in the middle with the window. Help please!

  • Games running in lower resolution on the desktop resolution does not fill the screen

    I have a laptop HP ENVY 17 TS with NVIDIA GT 740 M and Intel 4600HD graphics drivers and running Windows 7. Whenever I want to change the resolution in games at a lower resolution on the desktop resolution, the game shrinks to its view, leaving the couple of inches black bars on the edges. For example, if my the desktop resolution is 1920 x 1080 and I want to start a game in 1600 x 900, the game does not fill the screen, instead, it leaves an amount of empty space on the edges of the screen.

    In order to solve this problem, I tried the following steps:

    I first tried to locate the view tab in the NVIDIA Control Panel in order to define the scale/stretch in "Full screen", but my version of NVIDIA CP isn't the view tab (my NVIDIA drivers are the latest version).

    Then I discovered that I should do this in the Intel HD Graphics Control Panel. My Intel HD Graphics CP has an option named "Calibration" under display > display settings and it doesn't show the option to retain display scaling that is checked by default and does not change. Also, after searching the Internet I saw that some people suggested entering the 'advanced settings' and try to make changes. When I try to enter advanced settings, under view, it says 'this screen does not support advanced settings'.

    After trying without success, I tried the update driver Intel via their website, hoping that it can fix the problem. I ran the small Intel application on their Web site that identifies my chipset and offers me the latest driver for this chipset. Web site told me that the driver is installed on my computer is 10.18.10.3304, and there is an update for what is 15.33.18.64.3496 (or 10.18.10.3496). So I downloaded the file, but when I tried to run, it gave me this error message: "the drivre being installed is not validated for this computer. You can get the correct driver from the manufacturer of the computer. Setup will now exit. "that makes no sense.

    After trying the above steps, I'm not able to solve the problem, and I need help from someone who really knows how to solve this problem.

    Thank you.

    Solution (I hope)

    1. choose the properties of the graphic (logo Intel) option when you right click on the desktop

    2. go in view

    3. go through the resolutions on the 'Resolution' and change to this resolution (do not click Apply)

    4. for everyone to go to 'Scaling' at the bottom of the screen and change it to scale full screen (do not click Apply)

    5. Repeat until you get back to the higher resolution (that won't let you change the scale).

    6. quickly choose a few resolutions from the drop-down menu to make sure that they have changed their scale.

    I had a problem with some resoultions changing the way they were, but which should solve most of the problems.

  • Portable flow does not fill the TV screen.

    Hi Stevie H,

    This would happen if the screen resolution is not set correctly on the computer.

    I suggest that you set the resolution of the screen on the computer and check if it helps.

    (a) open settings display by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, appearance and personalization, customization, and then clicking display settings.

    (b) pursuant to the resolution, move the slider to the desired resolution, then click apply.

    Hello, David Bry1,.

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I understand that when you try to print from a number of different applications, you do not see the preview of the document you are printing. I would like to assure you that I see the preview as well when I print. Let's see how we can get this resolved.

    I advise you to ensure that the printer software is up-to-date on your printer Brother DCP-7065DN. Please choose 'Available Software' brother printer and scanner software for macOS Sierra, El Capitan, Yosemite, and Mavericks

    If a software update is available, please install and then test and see if you get the same result.

  • HP 15-D103TX computer laptop problem: Windows does not detect the dedicated graphics card

    Hi all

    I recently bought a laptop HP 15 - D103TX , which is held responsible for Free on BACK. I have updated my Windows 8 operating system and have installed all the drivers from the HP website. The laptop has dedicated 2 GB Nvidia Geforce 820 M graphics card.

    But when I checked, I found that Windows displays the graphic memory dedicated only 0 MB.

    As you can see in the screenshot, it shows as 0MB dedicated graphics memory.

    Anyone can clear me, upward on this subject? Is it a driver problem, or what is Windows 8 going crazy.

    Thank you very much in advance!

    Kind regards

    Brahmnoor

    Okay, I found the solution. In fact, the Haswell Intel i5 processor that my 15 HP D103TX has also comes with an Intel 4600 GPU intregated. So when I do normal tasks, the GPU intregated works, so Windows does not display the NVIDIA GPU 820M, but when I play a game or doing intense graphics work, he switches to the NVIDIA one.

    In fact, it makes sense, because it preserves the battery of the laptop.

    Credit: found this solution on the NVIDIA support forums.

    Hi jodepepevalentin,

    In the print menu, check "scale to fit media" under the Position and size of the device and then check out.

    If you want the area selected for printing, check "Print selected area" under the Position and size and specify the size.

  • Firefox does not fill the screen

    Hello

    Yesterday I had Firefox and explore (ugh!) browsers open at the same time, as I just changed my site on Yahoo Small Business Solutions and Firefox would not save the changes (as a result, the opening of Explorer.) After I finished with the Web site changes, I noticed that there are some changes on my page of Firefox. It does not fit my screen by about 1/4 "on the sides and bottom, and the top is not complete as if it was - the office's bleeding through in empty space up there. Help, please! Thanks, Qz

    Open Firefox-> click the maximize button to fill the screen completely-> close Firefox

    • Restart Firefox
    • Now, the window should open maximized

    Check and tell if its working.

    Personal laptop is limited to the installation of other equipment, graphic monitor (s) push resources. If ram memory

    is maximally, & the BIOS settings are set to a different monitor, Direct X updates, graphics software are updated, then

    We should be able to run a reg monitor... Chk, go in run or cmd, type: DXDIAG run Direct X.

    Also, the BIOS settings are critical, uninstall the default, add new ones.
