Windows 8 screen does not fill the screen of my laptop, how to correct?

• 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.

  When I connect my laptop Lenovo to my Sansung HDTV with a HDMI cable to watch football, image does not fill the full screen. ANC, someone tell me how to solve this - in terms laymans!

  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.

• update of sql server 2005 service pack 3 error code 6D9E Windows update security does not accept the update

  update of sql server 2005 service pack 3 error code 6D9E Windows update security does not accept the update

  Hey lasdj,

  Thanks for posting in the Microsoft answers site!

  If you receive Windows Update error 6d9e while installing SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 3 by using Windows Update, it means that the installation folders and directories are compressed or encrypted.

  To fix this problem, make sure the folder locations where you are installing the service pack to aren't compressed or encrypted, or specify a different folder and then run Windows Update again.

  Therefore, remove the compression of the DATA directory and run together to the top again.

  Remove compression from the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server folder and see if you are able to install the updates without any problem.

  See the links below for more details:

• Microsoft windows media player does not retain the previous size. is irrtating so me gift of reorganize its size every time when I open it.plz help I want stable wmp version 11

  Microsoft windows media player does not retain the previous size. is irrtating so me gift of reorganize its size every time when I open it.plz help I want stable wmp version 11, version 12 is sucks.

  Hello, Simone

  I'll assume you're on Windows 7. Windows Media Player 12 is not supported on Windows Vista or XP and as such, you will need to go back to Windows Media Player 11.

  You can check the permissions in the registry to ensure that it is able to record information.

  Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.

  Open the registry editor by clicking on start, type regedit.exe in the search box and press on enter, you may be prompted to continue.

  In the registry editor, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Microsoft, MediaPlayer, then Preferences.

  It should be an element named LastLocation_26, right-click on it and select Rename, and rename it to old LastLocation_26.

  Leave the open registry editor and open Media Player, then move it to your favorite place and close Media Player.

  In the registry editor, press F5 on your keyboard and check if LastLocation_26 has been recreated.

  If this is not the case, there is probably a permissions problem.

  If so, the location must be registered.

  Let us know.

• Windows Media Player does not support the codec used to compress the file.

  I can't do some of my videos to play it goes on to say that Windows media player does not support the codec used to compress the file. How can I fix?

  Hello

  What is the file format of the video files you are trying to play in Windows Media Player?

  Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file.

   

  You may encounter this error message for the following reasons:

  (a) the file type is supported by the drive, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is not supported by the player.

  (b) the file might have been encoded with a codec that is not supported by Windows Media Player. If this is the case, Windows Media Player cannot play the file.

  Windows media player will play only the files and videos only if it supports this type of file.

  Please see the bottom of the article that gives you information on the types of media files that supports Windows Media Player.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316992

  If the files are not supported by Windows media player, then you will need to use a few players from third party that supports this file format.

  WARNING OF THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE

  Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  Hello

  When you use the application of the training session, choose the type of activity that best fits your business. For anything else - like weight - select the other category.

  During the follow-up of one year to the next helps:

  • Activity app will credit the ring of progress of exercise with one minute for every minute of the workout.
  • Active calories will be based on the data recorded by the heart rate sensor or a brisk walk, whichever is greater.

  Note, however, that the heart rate sensor is likely to give better results for the workouts that involve rhythmic (for example running) rather than the irregular movements.

  My laptop is Pressario V2000. My laptop does not read the dvd, but another laptop reads the same dvd. PL is the solution. Thank you

  Try another DVD to verify that your laptop can read at least the other DVD.  If he can't play other DVD's then you need to replace the DVD - CD ROM drive supplied with your Pressario.

  Another thing you can try is to check fingerprints or scratches on the DVD, some DVD players are more sensitive than others.

• Windows Media Center does not record the calendar.

  Planning to record a program, but sometimes lapsed time up to the point where it does not record. I am running Windows 7 Home. Yes, I checked preferences but which differs only up to 15 minutes max.  I have reinstalled twice already. Why please?

  Hello

  (1) did you make any changes before the show?

  (2) what is the brand and model of the computer?

  Windows Media Center records the first home run HD programs or any which TV tuner installed. However, you may need to follow a few rules.

  -If you turn off your computer, Windows Media Center does not have a regular program. The computer must be turned on or "standby mode" to record a television show. The computer will not automatically in standby mode if Windows Media Center is open.

  
  -Make sure that you turn off the screen and lower or turn off the sound if you have one at the request of a record in the middle of the night and don't want to be disturbed.

  -Your scheduled recording may not save in the following situation: schedule you a recording in Windows Media Center to start in less than ten minutes, close Windows Media Center and put your computer into standby or hibernation mode immediately. Use or one of the following options to save your record programmed:

  a. do not close Windows Media Center before you put your computer on standby or hibernation.
  b. after having programmed a recording, wait a minute before you put the computer in standby or hibernation.

  I would have you refer to the article below:
