• Windows 7 changes the resolution of the screen at the start of what I had saved

  I recently bought a new monitor, which is a 22 AOC. I installed the drivers so that the computer detects hardware. Then I go to the screen resolution set at 1920 x 1080, that says that Windows is recommended. I then choose to preserve settings, then press OK.

  When I then restart the computer, the resolution changes right after the login screen to the old 1 of 1440 x 900 (which is the resolution of the screen of the old monitor).

  I tried researching this problem, but nobody seems to have exactly the same problem as me. Help! :)

  This problem also occurs when the monitor is turned off and turned back on again (I have my pc set to automatically turn off the monitor after 20 minutes).

  I had this problem since upgrading to windows 7 and it is very frustrating when you have to re - align icons and others whenever you turn on the monitor / PC back on.
  Fortunately, I found the solution after a few dedicated google searches, but this method requires you to modify your registry so please be very careful.
  Step #1: 
  Open your Start menu and in the search bar type in regedit and press to enter. UAC will pop up asking if you want to allow this program to make changes to the computer, simply press Yes.
  Step #2:
  In the left pane of regedit , you will see a list of registry keys;
  -Click on the small white arrow next to expand this key HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG .
  -Develop System > CurrentControlSet > control > VIDEO
  
  
  Step #3:
  Now you should see one or more keys with random numbers and letters, for example my video key is {F92BFB9B-59E9-4B65-8AA3-D004C26BA193}.
  If you develop these keys, you will see another key in each of these named 0000
  
  
  Just click on these keys to 0000 to see their values, you are looking for one that has multiple values, for example Attach.RelativeX, Attach.RelativeY, etc.
  The appropriate key 0000 should also have a child key (which is the registry of your monitor settings, yay!) and mine is named Mon12345678 but yours may be different.
  
  
  Step #4:
  Now for the changes of the registry, 0000 and the keys Mon12345678 with the same parameters and values, I changed the two of them are identical. I'm not entirely sure of what a windows 7 uses, but it does not hurt to change both just to be sure.
  In order to change a registry key values;
  -Right click on the value name and select Edit...
  - where it says Base of select the decimal option
  -Enter the new numeric value, you want to enter in the data value: text field
  The parameters to change are;
  Attach.RelativeX - it's your screen X resolution, mine is set to 1360
  Attach.RelativeY - it's your screen resolution is, mine is set to 768
  DefaultSettings.XResolution -it's your screen resolution by default of X, mine is set to 1360
  DefaultSettings.YResolution -it's your default screen resolution, mine is set to 768
  Step #5:
  You're done! Click on file > output and your registry settings will be saved automatically.
  * Restart the system notes * A may be required before these settings take effect.
  
  
  
  
  Hope this helps everyone who has faced this problem!

• By doing a screen shot: if I change the resolution?

  Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to change the resolution of a screen shot when I do one with Windows XP. I want to make a better quality.

  I noticed that when I do a screen shot and paste into mspaint or scanners of my image editing program: it might not matter since I can crop and improve the image a bit. But sometimes I need a better shot.

  Does anyone know the resolution of XP Home Edition - Vistas Home Premium 64 - bit - screenshots of SP2 or SP3?

  Would be the steps, if it takes place, is the same for Vista?

  Thank you.

  Thank you.

  =========================================
  You are welcome.

  Just a reminder... If you increase the resolution of your desktop...
  your screenshots could follow suit. (This adjustment
  is located at: control panel / display / settings tab /.
  Drag the slider to change the resolution) these settings
  are limited by your video card driver... you
  perhaps already in the maximum position.

  FWIW... you can increase the resolution (pixel size) of
  all existing (digital photo) screenshot of resizing. If
  you use an option called Resampling, the result is a little
  better.

  The free software IrfanView has the Resample option.

  (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
  Restore point before installing software or updates)

  IrfanView and IrfanView plugins
  http://www.download.HR/download-IrfanView.html

  For instructions on resampling research using IrfanView to resample.

  Good luck

  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.

• zBook 14 - cannot change the resolution of the screen after update

  After I installed software updates the portable suggested to me, my screen resolution went suddenly from 1900 x 1200 at 1200 x 720 after reboot and it won't let me change it, not even to a lower resolution. I'm very frustrated, because I need the computer week next for visualization work and I really need the screen works well.
  
  It doesn't let me change the resolution. Graphics and display drivers are up-to-date and functioning according to Device Manager. I did a system restore, but that just do everything worse although the resolution worked once again thing, I had to run a repair of the start several times before that my laptop would be starting another property again. This does not resolve the issue, given that the display drivers are not working properly (videos have been viewed very badly) and even after updating the computer won't start again, so I had made another system of recovery and now I'm to the point where I can not change the resolution and starting to be really frustrating. Also, (if it even starts) Windows is constantly freezing, forcing me to hard reboot.

  Thanks for any help, that all the world can offer.

  This looks like a lot of problems, you have there.
  
  First thing I would say is to do a check of the basic material. Your laptop will be built Diagnostics the F2 button on the HP logo. The hard drive on a test extended (approximately 45 minutes - 2 hours) and the memory test. If these two go, consider downloading of UEFI diagnoses from the above drivers download section. In all honestly, I think this unnecessary step for most, it tells not usually defects that are already not obvious. But he should have a graphics test, if it will throw a failure even if it is faulty is another matter but when even, of a value of a test.
  If all else fails, download on the phone for the HP warranty.
  
  If anything fails, run the memory on memtest86 + for about 12 to 24 hours. Download you, it's free, burn it to a cd and the start of it. And it works simply, in case of error, you have a fault memory.
  
  If anything fails on any diags, then nothing is most likely false, cool reimageries windows probably will solve the problem and its probably just a form of spyware or corruption of driver or something. Backup your data, reinstall a new copy of windows.
  
  But in my experience, from doubtful, repairs etc... freezing randomly and other problems are often a sign of a failing hard drive. And diagnostic tests are not always 100% to pick up a failing drive. For the most part, but not always. So, if its still high reading after a reimage, review the reader always a potential source of the problem.
  
  To the extent where it won't let you change the resolution? What you mean? As for the option is grayed out? Can you maybe post a screenshot and a screenshot of your device with the extended graphics card Manager.

• My daughter played a game that changed the resolution of the screen on the reboot I see is no longer anything on the screen!

  My daughter has tried to play a game of old trails Oregon of a disc. It made him change the resolution to which she did not return to the stop down. Now, to restart, we are unable to see the screen after windows starts. Any suggestions? We are running Windows Vista.

  Hello

  Although she has changed the resolution, you should still be able to see a logo when the BIOS boot screen loads. IF this isn't the case then something else happens.

  To solve this problem I would boot windows in safe mode, so you can load windows into a default resolution. To do this, when you turn on the PC press, key F8 before Windows loads. (do this as soon as the BIOS screen disappears)

  You will be asked to choose from a number of advanced options, is the option you want to select:

  Turn on the video resolution (640 x 480)

  This will load windows in this resolution, so you can set it manually to your favorite resolution.

  Let me know how you go with it.

• Change the resolution of the screen and the screen went black

  Then I tried to change the resolution of the screen and the screen went black.  I tried to restart, plug in my HDMI port on my TV... Nothing.  So I went with a system refresh (yes I'm sure it was a refresh and not a restore).

  The fact that there is no integrated procedure to detect the moment where that happens and return to the old resolution is annoying enough...  But now after that choose the system update and it would be only to reset the settings to default back and keep all the files (as he said it would be), I am extremely frustrated to know that it has deleted ALL my programs.  Program E-v-e-r-y.  This means that Chrome, Firefox, jGrasp, AutoCAD, all my programs Microsoft Office, all my Adobe stuff, my Visual Studio and so much more that I'm not naming.

  I REALLY hope there is a place where they were stored so I don't have to reinstall everything manually.  If not, then wow, Microsoft... We finished.

  Unfortunately a refresh as he said, only maintains personal records (program data), the data can be located in the "in the"Windows"folder windows.old folder normally C /: Drive, all modern apps should be kept."

  All programs of office/legacy (Chrome, Firefox, jGrasp, etc.) need to be relocated from their original sources

  Keep all of your programs, personal files (data), settings, the best option is to create a "Disk Image" - see link below for info.

• Photoshop, change the resolution of the screen on startup

  Hi all

  I'm working on a new Dell XPS 15 laptop computer. All the drivers are up to date. I tried to reinstall the Psalm

  Everytime I open Photoshop the screenresolution is automatically changed to 2560 x 1440 to 1920 x 1080 and I get an Error Message in the background (the operating system is not configured for this application). I can manually return and continue working. But next time ill start it happens everywhere. It's a little boring. All other Adobe applications seem to work well.

  Thanks for help.

  Photoshop cannot normally change your screen resolution, but there are applications that can be configured to change the resolution as launching an application. On Windows when an application is run in compatibility mode possible of put so the resolution also changes. Click right photoshop.exe, select Properties, compatibility and check any of the boxes of resolution are verified. I'd watch if there is a utility on your Dell running in the background designed to change the resolution.

  I took a glance at your laptop and its native resolution is 3840 x 2160, No 2560 x 1440 except that varies from a model. It is worth noting is 3840 x 2160 (1920 x 2) x (1080 x 2) and you get the half that is 1920 x 1080. This could suggest that you set Photoshop to the scale of the display. Make sure that the parameters of scaling in your preferences are fixed to 100%

  

  Hope that helps

• Why I can not change the resolution of the screen on the comments?

  Greetings,

  I used VMware Player to create a RHEL 5.5 on Windows 7 host. The resulting virtual machine has a screen 1440 x 900, but when I run the screen is 800 x 600. With the help of the utility comments to change the resolution of the screen only gives the choice of 800 x 600 and 640 x 400. Note that the installation of comments has been made using 'I'll install the operating system later'. If this option is not used and that the guest is installed either using the 'easy' option or the 'Advanced', this problem does not exist. Anyway, there is a big difference between a genberated of comments using the 'easy' or 'Advanced' option and the generated with the option "I will install later. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

  Many thanks in advance,

  Nicolas

  VMware tools are installed in the comments? Next to important things, they contain the video driver that allows to change the resolution.

• How to change the resolution of the screen when the "input not supported" message after reboot

  I need to change the display resolution to 1600 x 1024 after I changed my 1900 x 1200.
  the problem is,
  the "input not supported" message when I reboot the PC and does not allow me to do anything.
  He presents himself before the logon prompt.
  I restarted to fail safe with the command line with the id of the administrator and was able to change the resolution, but
  He returns to the State ("input not supported" and no prompt connection) after I restart the PC

  Mark,
  Thank you for your help,
  I tried in vain,
  I just used another monitor with a higher resolution, restore the previous resolution and swap the monitor again.

  Kind regards

• The resolution of my screen becomes small when I play any game

  Hello
  I own a Toshiba Satellite M30X-113 with graphics of atim mobility radeon 9700. Lately, when I was playing games, the screen resolution has been reduced and its little future. I try to set it in the menu (video options), but yet his has no effect. I then used windows to change display mode, but who also had no effect. I used to use the 32 bit on 1024 x 768 setting, but it also keeps jumping to the resolution of 1280. Why is this happening? Is it possible to go back to the way it was.

  Hello

  I agree with audigex. The internal resolution of games has nothing to with the computer display resolution. Usually, you can change the resolution in the game settings.
  I can t give you a good answer, why he has changed, but I m sure that the parameters of the game are responsible for this issue.

• XP Sp3 cannot change the resolution. All of a sudden changed on 3 PC 20 overnight.

  I have a client with DT 20 HP Business class PC with XP Pro and all are Sp3. They were very well one day. First one and then another and then another reset screen 640 x 480 and I can not change the resolution. They are all the same material. Video NVIDIA 6150. They have all been analysed and have no malware, etc. We tried to uninstall the video driver and put it back in place of the original, install the latest driver from Nvidia, then later that of HP without result.  We tried to restore a system to a week earlier to nothing does not. We tried using the user admin rather than an opening of rights 'user' and yet one time not the ability to change the Res. Any ideas? At this stage it seems certain day MS like this everything that can be install from one day to the next on all 3 PC. I cannop imagine that all 3 had video card failure.
