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.

Have you tried the steps in the resolution of the video display problems?

    The graphics card hardware support different screen resolutions, but if the driver doesn't contain this resolution of the screen so that you cannot choose it.
    I think so you re not able to choose this special resolution on the external display.

    In my opinion it has nothing to do with the graphics card or with the screen, but only with the graphics driver.

  • Tecra A4: Cannot set the resolution of 1280 x 800

    Hi all.

    I have a Tecra A4, and for the last 2 days I am trying set up the screen at native resolution of 1280 x 800, without sucssess.

    I try a lot of things, like updating drivers, use the restoration of the system, the value 'stretch' in the BIOS, etc, but this resolution do not appear on the display settings (I use XP SP2). I've only 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768.

    In any of these resolutions, a wide black border appear to the right of the screen. A small border appears on the bottom, too.

    Please, how can I solve this problem? I don't want to use the Toshiba restore, some programs I use are very difficult to find and install.

    Thank you.

    You cannot set this resolution if this resolution of 1280 x 800 is not part of the display driver.
    The graphics card driver contains all available resolutions and if one is missing, I mean not rated, it s not able to select

  • Portege R700-S1321 - cannot set the resolution of 1366 x 768

    I have exactly the same problem, as shown in:

    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=64809

    The resolution of the laptop to random times and intervals seems to support a maximum of 1280 x 700, which translates into a 2 inch black bar on the right side and the button start Windows 7 off the screen.

    Currently its stuck in the resolution of the screen and no matter what I may not make it back to normal 1366 x 768.

    External monitors very well with the laptop work.

    Its 2.20 BIOS execution that seems to me later.

    It seems that the intel driver must get some information that is incorrect.
    Research on different forums and using moninfo, I see that the internal display does not support EDID and settings appear to be set by the registry somehow.

    I also tried to make an EDID override by creating an inf file that is customized with Moninfo, but appears not to the question of the effect.

    I also tried to restore from the recovery many times discs without success.
    During the installation of windows occurs, the screen is fine.
    When Toshiba additional programs are added to the screen returns to the 1280 x 700.
    I suspect that what happens when the graphics driver intel is installed.

    If I boot the laptop in safe mode resolution is 1366 x 768, which seems to suggest that it is the driver who has a problem.

    Anyone else had this issue and understand how to fix it? I see also that intel do not support EDID override.

    Any idea is appreciated. Thank you.

    > If I boot the laptop in safe mode resolution is 1366 x 768, which seems to suggest that it is the driver who has a problem.

    I think you are on the right track, and I think that his untimely pilot.
    That's why I recommend you to uninstall the Intel graphics driver in Device Manager.

    PORTEGE R700-S1321 was equipped with the Intel® Core i5 - 520 M processor and this processor supports the Intel® HD graphics card

    The latest Intel HD driver can be downloaded directly from the page of Intel:
    [Driver for Intel Core with Intel HD Graphics processors | https://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Graphics& ProductLine = graphic + portable + pilots & ProductProduct = Intel % C2% AE + Core E2% 84% A2 + processors + with + Intel % 2 C % AE + HD + Graphics & ProdId = 3231 & LineId 1101 = & FamilyId = 39]

    I need to download the zip package.
    Then you can install the driver through Device Manager by using the Advanced installation procedure. This allows you to link directly to this zip package. Windows system would automatically take the driver. After restarting again you that would have settled the last drivers and you should change your resolution.

  • Satellite L505 - 14 d - Starcraft II - cannot set the resolution of 1366 x 768

    I recently bought this laptop, it has an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5165 HyperMemory graphics card, however, when I installed the game Starcraft II, and tried to change my graphics settings, told me that my video (could say graph, or display card, I do not remember) card was not recognized, and that I might want to check this... I thought, well, that there is probably no problem, as long as everything works fine, but the problem is this; This isn't. I'm unable to set the resolution of 1366 x 768, which is the maximum resolution of the computer normally. The maximum resolution that I can put in this game is 1280 x 768...

    This starts to become quite annoying, not a HUGE issue by any means, but still, I would like to get this issue resolved. ;)

    My apologies if you have problems to understand what I mean here, that English isn't my mother tongue. Do not hesitate to ask me if you need clarification on anything whatsoever.

    Hello

    Are you able to set the resolution of 1366 x 768 laptop s display settings?

    If Yes, then I guess that this has nothing to do with the laptop but with the game settings.
    Maybe the game is unable to use a higher resolution because of the pilot or the graphics card compatibility.

    I played a lot of games in the past on my laptop and to be honest game display settings have nothing to do with the general display resolution settings. My laptop resolution is 1400 x 1050, but the different games are available at 1024 x 768 due to the better performance

    Hello. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit on my Lenovo Z575, which has a screen of 1366 x 768 resuolution. Unfortauntely, Windows doesn't have the option select this option. The best I can get is 1280 x 768, but it's horrible.

  • Cannot restore the resolution of the laptop

    I have an old 15 "Macbook Pro mid-2010. I still mostly run for daily work snow leopard.

    I have hooked to an external monitor and experience the resolution on the external display. I used an external display several times before, but without twisting his resolution.

    In the past whenever I have disconnected externally internal display by default my good laptop back to its native resolution, which seems to be of 1280 x 1024.

    But since my experimentation with a resolution from the outside, it is no longer the case. Resolution "reads" 1280 x 1024 in System Preferences, but the screen is severely "letter-put in a box" with large black bars on each side, no amount of clicking on the various resolutions and return to 1280 x 1024 don't restore correctly display without black bans.

    I tried to zap the PRAM, thinking that that would restore the screen settings internal. But it does not work. Any ideas?

    Try a SMC reset. Article covers when necessary, but this will not affect anything.

    I recently bought this dell monitor and trying to connect via a mini displayport to DVI Dual link adapter to a Dual Link DVI cable to the monitor.

    Can't see an option to increase the resolution after 1080 p.

    Have updated the dispay driver 4000 Intel and install the U2713HM driver.

    Does the x 1 carbon (3443CTO) support 1440 p?

  • Cannot increase the resolution of the screen after Windows 7 updates

    Hey guys,.

    I recently did a Windows Update on my Win7 laptop and the resolution has been reduced from 1280 to 1026. So now, I have a screen size of 1024 and a black band on the right side of my screen. Essentially, I can't adjust or wear a size of 1280. Everyone knows that lately after the updates. This happened to me around the last week of April. I tried to do a system restore on it which works very well and it brings back to the full screen resolution, but once I restart the laptop he then it narrows down to 1024 on restart. It's as if the part of the screen becomes invalid.

    Hi Jesse,.

    I hear your frustration. It is a driver problem. So, lets get set for that (I hope, your BIOS is OK). What is happening is that your system resets with the incorrect driver. What you need to do is to 'disable' (not uninstall) the driver of 'bad' and use only the correct driver. That you should be able to do it via the Device Manager.

    Try this approach and see how you rate. Once you can get the 'good' driver to work properly, then and only then we will get rid of the 'bad' driver (uninstall).

    Kind regards

  • LR Photo import from the camera all of a sudden does not (5.7.1) - says "some import operations were imported not because they could not be read."  Work on another computer and the version on the same computer but not newly LR 4.3 installed LR 5.7.1 cm³ 2

    As above, all of a sudden, on a single computer I can not download from the Canon 50 d or 70 D in LR 5.7.1.  It will download on another computer, as well as on this computer in an older version of LR (4.3).  As soon as I put on the computer this morning, I also got an error message that "the catalog named Lightroom ' catalogue Lightroom 5" cannot open another application already opened it. "It's a cold start, so I'm not sure what's going on.

    "Could not be read" means that you do not have a WRITE permission in the destination directory, then change your permissions.

    "Another application already has its opening" can be solved by removing the .lock file in the same folder as your catalog file.

  • Photosmart Premium C310A turns off the network all of a sudden?

    Months, this printer has worked on the network such as a charm. Used easily with 2 XP computers, a computer of W7 and an iPad2. No hiccups at all... He was always online.

    About 1 week ago, this changed? I am in Florida and we have here a few thunderstorms. DEVICE IS on an inverter, which shouldn't matter (the part of surge, no power). Now it seems whenever we want to print, it doesn't? It seems to be on, but is not on the network? OFF-power is not complete... I have to pull the power plug and the re - plug, once turned on, get the hotel "ding" and it'll print. Until next time... The printer was turned on and left on 24/7.

    Run the application to the printer on each machine and it says "disconnected" when we can't print?

    I'm not sure it will be like this just started? Thread implies that it was a problem during the day 1 I think. I did not change any router or printer settings so why should this start happening?

    The printer has always received 192.168.0.4, which has not changed?

    Any reason this should start happening all of a sudden? I don't remember the printer get a s/w update?

    I guess I'll see if the printer keeps going offline or not with the static parameter on top wire?

    If this happens again. Reset the printer

    Thank you!

    Do you have the same two tabs when you launch a new window (Ctrl + n) or only at startup?

    You can check your extensions in case something snuck in. You can view and clear the page modules. Either:

    • Command + shift + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, when in doubt, turn off.

    Typically, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.
