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

  • Difficulty of the game resolution when its so big to fit on the screen

    Original title: How can I fix the game resolution when its so big, it adapts to the screen?
    While trying to play games in Windows 8 the resolution of the screen becomes very intense and can see about a quarter of the game screen.  It is not all games, but how do I fix?  I can't even go into the screen resolution options to change because the options option is not visible.  Help, please!

    This problem could be related to my other post "Windows 8 read don't no the desktop correctly resolution".

    Yes, I'm having a similar problem, but none of my friends are Big Fish games, even if many are games of GOG.  I don't have either all object games hidden...  Some I can fix in...

    1. right click on the game icon
    2. by clicking on the compatibility problems
    3. by clicking on solve program
    4. by clicking on "the program opens, but does not display correctly."
    5. by clicking on "program does not display correctly when selected, the parameters of large-scale police.»

    After that it will tell you to test the program... which works usually then.  Unless for some reason, the game remains glitch, same subsequently (e.g. main menu screens do not disappear after you've started a game is something I met.)  The only other issue I have is when the game has a launcher.  As "Magic: The Gathering tactics" or "League of Legends", making it impossible to play these games at all.

    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.

  • 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 ;)
