How can I increase the screen resolution on my T61; using Windows 7

I just recently purchased a Lenovo T61 from a guy on ebay.  I’m trying to figure out how to increase the resolution of the monitor, but can’t seem to figure it out.  Here are the technical specs of the machine:
System
Manufaturer: LENOVO
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T7300 @ 2.00GHz
Model: 7658CTO
Installed Memory: 2.00 GB RAM
System type: 64-bit operating system
OS Installed: Windows 7 Professional
Number of processor cores: 2
Storage
Size of hard disk:  160 GB
Media Drive:   CD- RW/ DVD MULTI Recorder (Can burn all types of CDs and DVDs)
Graphics
Display adapter type:  Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset Family
Total available graphics memory:  358 MB
Display adapter driver version:  8.15.10.1867
Primary monitor resolution:  1280x800
DirectX version DirectX 10
Webcam: Integrated Webcam above display
I’m running Windows 7.  I don’t think there is an inherent/native resolution higher than 1280x800.  Is this right?  Can I download a driver to allow me to get to a higher resolution?  I’m using 1400x1050 on my older T42; this resolution is very nice.  I’d like to see this on my T61.  How can I do this?
Thanks!

Hello ryguy7272,
it seems your tft has got a primary monitor resolution:  of 1280x800 only.
There´s no way to power that up, except at an external monitor.
Maybe that´s why the machine was a lot cheaper than others.

  • How can I set the screen resolution ?

    hello brothers.
    my program works ultimately at 1024/768 screen resolution.
    since I want to make sure that peaple who using that program will see it correct, I want to explicitly change the resolution of the screen.
    how can I do that? please..

    I believe you use the setDisplayMode() method of the GraphicsDevice object to do this.
    If you go to http://www.scottshaver2000.com/ and download the source code to H.E.A.T., you will find a nice example of video mode switching. His game pops up a window showing the available configurations, then lets you select the one you want and switch to it.
    The applicable classes are in his com.sas.gui package: FullScreenJFrame.java and VideoModeSelector.java.

  • How can I increase the volume on my iPhone 4s using external speakers?

    I used to have the iPhone 4 and I played my tunes through my PC external speakers (like using a pair of headphones). The maximum volume was extremely loud, and I never put it on full blast.
    Recently, I upgraded to the iPhone 4s, and I've noticed a huge difference in the maximum volume - it is about 30% quieter than my old iPhone 4, and it sounds incredibly quiet while I'm using my external speakers, even if the speakers are at full.
    I've also noticed that there is a Max Volume Warning which shows white/yellow/red volume bars when I turn the volume up - also my iPhone 4 never had. I believe there is a EU Volume Limit on iPhones, but I cannot understand why there is such a huge difference between the 4 and 4s.
    Which also bugs me, is that my friend has recently upgraded to the iPhone 4s too, and he doesn't have the same problem as me. I tested his iPhone using my external speakers and the volume was much louder than mine. So we checked over all of his settings and compared them with mine, and they are ALL the same. Plus, neither of our iPhones are Jailbroken.
    Does anyone has a solution to this? I can't find an answer anywhere..............
    Please help!!!

    The volume buttons are on the left hand side of your device.
    Top one is increase
    Bottom one is decrease.
    Once they are at the maximum/minimum that is all you can do.
    Good Luck

  • How Can I Get the Amount of Free Disk Space Using space using windows 7 please share example using GetDiskSpace

    How Can I Get the Amount of Free Disk Space  using windows 7 please share example using GetDiskSpace i have already studied http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/9958B8E473C4EF1786256BBC0053B64F

    Reading your question a bit more in detail, I doubt whether you are using Win32 API GetDiskFreeSpace function (for which my previous post is the solution) of Programmer's Toolbox GetDiskSpace function.
    With reference to the second one, it works even with disks larger than 2GB but you need to use the proper formatting code to display the returned value. I updated my example to show total free space in the debug output window and added a comparison with 3GB value using UInt64TypeCompareUInt from the Programmer's Toolbox.

    I have Photoshop cs6 Ext on an ASUS laptop. How can I increase the font size of the contents of the FILTER Panel situated on bottom left of screen. The font size is extreamly small and almost unreadable. I have changed display parameters, not the resolution, to no avail.

    Paragraph breaks are good for readability. ;-)
    Have you noticed any difference between your MacBook and others at the Apple store? Wondering whether this is a configurable setting at the system level, i.e., DPI.
    You can default Firefox to a larger zoom level to avoid having to zoom every page. You'll still be able to adjust the size for individual sites as needed. It sounds as though you are aware of these add-ons:
    * Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
    * NoSquint: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/
    There are some discussions about changing coming in Firefox 22 (I think) to address higher density displays like the Retina display. So perhaps there will be a built-in setting to address this in the future.

  • Qosmio X500 - How to increase the screen resolution?

    Hi,
    Does anybody know how to increase the screen resolution? My qosmio X500 is 1920 x 1080 and I want to raise it to 1920 x 1200.
    Thank you/Red

    Hey
    1) I think the screen brightness is about 180 nits for this qosmio model. If I change the graphics card, can I increase the brightness to 300 NITS levels? If yes, which card do you suggest? If not, how can I achieve this?
    2) When I view the screen in 100 % magnitude, then the texts are too small to read. But then when I view the screen in 125 % or higher, then the texts go blurry. Is there a way to avoid this?

  • How can I reset the screen colors/resolution on an old white macbook?

    My screen shows neon colors and a zigzag shapes.  How can I reset the color resolution?  This laptop was supposedly fixed but when returned all my data had been "lost".  The certified mac tech said he reinstalled the OS but lost all my desktop files and HD and couldn't recover.  ODDLY, when I started the machine and started fresh, my old hard drive was still there!  Although he'd wiped out my current desktop files- gone.  But, the  screen colors went wonky all of the sudden and I don't know how to resert or correct the resolution.  Can any one share a suggestion?

    With that kind of issue after returning from a repair where a tech was inside the computer, it should be returned to the same place for an evaluation of the problem, a diagnosis, and perhaps they need to check their work to see if something came loose while they had it apart.
    The System Preferences> Displays has a panel to select settings.
    You may have to try & see about a reset of System Management Controller http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 Or, if reset of NVRAM  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379 may help. Not sure if these would do anything if there is hardware damage.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • After Firefox was updated, the font size on my screen was decreased for all applications. How can I increase the font size on my screen ??

    After the update, the next screen showed all the letters in smaller font, with fewer pixels. All the screens are like that now and I found nothing in the Firefox help contents. This is a problem because I have vision difficulty. So, how can I increase the font size to what it was before? My screen is about 20 inches wide.
    Also, any chance I can change all the font to Arial instead of Times New Roman?

    Thanks -- that does help!

  • How can I increase the size of UI toolbars across Adobe Creative suite?

    How can I increase the size of UI toolbars across Adobe Creative suite especially indesign, photoshop, illustrator on a new Apple retina display 2560 x 1140 with out changing/scaleing my screen resolution down?

    While some applications let you change the font size of the UI (notably Photoshop in Interface Preferences), others do not yet (like InDesign).
    You'll need to make your request using this form for it to be seen by the product manager(s):
    Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
    Make a good case because there are hundreds (thousands?) of things people request InDesign to do.

  • How can we increase the font size in Adobe Bridge CC 2014?

    How can we increase the font size in Adobe Bridge CC 2014?
    We use Windows 7 64bit computers and Dell High Density UltraSharp UP2414Q monitors with a resolution of 3840 x 2160.
    Other applications in Adobe CC 2014 work fine with this high resolution (Indesign, Photoshop) but I can't find where to adjust font size in Bridge.
    Right now menu items are hardly ledgible.

    Same problem.  Bridge is unusable with this micro font and no way to change it.
    I would call tech support but I don't feel like being on hold for two hours to talk to someone Adobe pays pennies a day in a loud call center who won't be able to help anyway. Fail.

  • Increase the screen resolution

    Hi All
    Is it possible to increase the screen resolution in BDC?
    My Max screen resolution is 1280 X 800 and my BDC screen operates at this resolution
    I want to increase it to 1400 X 1080
    Is there a way i can pass these values?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi:
    The 15.6" screen size model only has a display resolution of 1366x768 according to the product specs at the link below.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c04031365&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en...
    There are no product specs listed for the 17" screen model but since they end in the same 111tx, I assume that the 17" display has the same resolution as well.
    Nothing you can do to change that.  It is a limitation of the display panel hardware.

  • How can I Increase the Thickness of Blinking Cursor in adobe reader?

    Do you mean "Recent Tags" which has an icon a blue-colored folder with a primitive looking magnifying glass over the folder?
    That folder does have a limit of 10 results. If you want to create an "All Tags" item on the Boomarks Menu, you can do that by creating your own "smart folder." The process I use is a little involved, so bear with me (also, see the screen shots).
    The query used by Recent Tags is:
    place:type=6&sort=14'''&maxResults=10'''
    So for All Tags we will drop the maximum results limit:
    place:type=6&sort=14
    ''If you prefer your tags in alphabetical order instead of having the most recently used at the top, use this instead:''
    place:type=6&sort=1
    Go ahead and select the line you want and right-click > copy it.
    Next, click the bookmarks drop-down button, expand the Bookmarks Toolbar, right-click any existing item, and choose New Bookmark.
    In Location, paste the query, and in name, type All Tags (or your preferred description). When you click Add Bookmark, Firefox will add it, but it doesn't show the blue search folder icon. Drag the bookmark to the menu, and it will turn into a functioning search folder.
    Success?

  • How can I increase the tempo of a song without distorting the vocals?

    I have a song I recorded, with the vocals and backing track on seperate tracks.
    The song has been recorded a bit too slow, and I need to increase the tempo. However, when I do this, the vocals become distorted and have a wavy sound.
    Is there any way I can increase the tempo of the song without distoring the vocals? I've tried doing it on the final song (merged tracks) and on the vocals alone, but nothing seems to work. It doesn't make sense, since when you do the same thing to a song by a professional artist, you can increase the tempo of the song without distoring the vocals.
    What am I doing wrong? How can I increase the tempo of my song without distoring the vocals?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    in general GB doesn't do such a great job with changing tempo of audio recordings, what you might find works better is to export your song uncompressed and then use an audio editor:

    If that doesn't help, open System Preferences > Accessibilty > Settings then select Zoom on the left.
    You can also increase the resolution on the dislplay. System Preferences > Displays > Display > Scaled

  • How can I get the screen to lock on my iPhone 4, so I don't press buttons while talking?

    I just upgraded to the iPhone 4.  When I am talking on the phone, the screen doesn't lock, so I am constantly pressing buttons or hanging up on the person I'm talking to.  How can I get the screen to lock while I'm talking?  It's driving me NUTS.

    The otterbox is one of the culprits. Take the phone out of the case and see if it still happens. If so it is not the case. If the problem goes away, then you may need to make the hole slightly larger. My family has three iPhone 4's in otterboxes and none have this problem. Other users on this forum have reported success with the above methods.
