BootCamp 2.1 Update Blurry Screen

hello,
i'm running XP Pro SP2 fully updated on my macbook using BootCamp 2.0. i just updated to BC 2.1 via the Apple Software Update. It installed new drivers, but it has left my screen is blurry. i've check all the resolution settings and whatnot and everything seems to be fine. i believe there is something wrong with the driver. how can i fix this problem?
thanks,
aaron

Thanks for this Info!
I had the same issue with my Macbook. After installing Bootcamp 2.1 a blurry screen .
Unfurtunately i could not install the ATI driver because the "Check" Tool from AMD denies to install drivers.
I research the Intel website and found are more recent driver für my Intel chipset xx 965. After applying that driver everything was fine
Here is the link:

Hope someone my find it useful.
Another good idea my be to install the cleartype powertoy from microsoft.

  • Since my maverick update i now have blurry screen help???

    Since my maverick update i now have blurry screen.
    writing is blurred and pictures are blurred, its like i need glasses to focus properly. any ideas????
    its like everything is out of focus
    HELPP!!!

    Do you see everything out of focus right from when the unit turns on, or only after getting to the desktop?  You should try a PRAM reset to start.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379

  • With the new update my screen is not wide enough for the format. How do I change this?

    After the new update, the screen shows only 3/4 of what is presented. I have reduced the size of the print and that did not help. For instance, in typing this, once I got as far as "presented" the screen had to shift to the left to allow me to see what I was typing. It did this automatically. I don't know what caused this in the latest edition of the update, but it has caused me a number of problems in doing on line banking because unmovable windows do not show enough to allow me to hit the submit button.
    I want to see the entire window when I log onto a site. When I now open Yahoo News for instance, I cannot see the last three inches. I can see them if I move the page over, but up until now, I have always seen the entire page when it comes up without having to take any action on my part.
    Where do I go or what do I do to get it back to how it always functioned before?
    I opened the learn system and it references a Mozilla tool bar which I do not have either. Don't know if this is relevant or not.

    Hello,
    Firefox on Windows is now following display scaling options which may render text larger on high resolution displays. There's more than one way to resolve this problem. See the [[Webpages are large and blurry after updating Firefox - how to fix ]] article for one suggestion. Here's another possible solution:
    * Type '''about:config''' into the Firefox address bar and tap on the Enter key.
    * If the warning '''This might void your warranty''' appears, click '''I'll be careful, I promise'''.
    * Search for '''layout.css.devPixelsPerPx'''
    [[Image:Fx22layout.css.devPixelsPerPx]]
    * Double-click on layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to modify its value. The default is -1.0 in Firefox 22 and above. Change it to '''1.0''' to make it work like in previous Firefox versions.
    If necessary, further adjust the value in 0.1 or 0.05 steps. Use values between 1.0 and about 0.5 to reduce elements in size. Use values greater than 1.0 to increase size. For example, a value of 1.25 will increase font size to 125% to accommodate the default DPI setting in Windows 8. '''Double check the value that you enter.''' Setting a too small value will make everything disappear and a too large value will blow things up.
    If web pages still need to be adjusted then you can look at the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/ Default FullZoom Level] or [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/ NoSquint] extension.
    To adjust the font size for the user interface, you can use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/theme-font-size-changer/ Theme Font & Size Changer] extension.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Bootcamp 3.1 update for Windows XP pro 32bit

    Hi peoples.
    I got my imac 24" from late 2008.
    I've installed windows xp pro 32bit in bootcamp.
    i got bootcamp 3.0 from the snow leopard 10.6 DVD.
    Apple software update has an upgrade for bootcamp to version 3.1
    After installing the update to 3.1, my screen is switching down to 640x480 4bit.
    so i thought maybe i had installed something that messed up the updating.
    i booted into osx, deleted the bootcamp partition via the bootcamp wizard, then recreate the bootcamp partition.
    i installed a fresh install of windows xp pro 32bit, installed bootcamp 3.0 from the snow leopard DVD.
    i update my windows via windowsupdate, and then i install bootcamp upgrade 3.1 via apple software update.
    and again i get a 640x480 4bit resolution.
    my imac has ATI mobility radeon hd 26000 XT...
    why do bootcamp 3.1 update break my graphics driver ?
    is it something i do? (i doubt it)
    is there a walkaround, to avoid my graphics driver getting corrupted by the update ?
    hardware =
    Imac MA878LL 24" intel core 2 duo 2.4Ghz, 2GB ram, 320 GB hdd, ATI M. Radeon HD 2600 XT

    So what you are saying is that even though the bootcamp utility exists and has already allocated my spot for Windows 7 on Snow Leopard Boot camp doesn't exist thus I can't get the 3.1 update yet?
    I'm very familiar with computing terms, and setting up devices... However no documentation really clarifies the whole 3.1 process. All that I can see from apple's perspective is to allocate the bootcamp space. Run the windows 7 install, and then use the snow leopard update and the assoicated drivers (32/64 bit).
    However even with the Mac OS X online, I can't figure out how you get that update as each site talks differently.
    If someone can clarify exactly from an out of box Mac, to snow leopard boot camp allocation and windows 7 install for these 3.1 updates it would greatly help with my confusion points here.
    Thanks!

  • Bootcamp 2.1 updater = kiss of death to Vista32

    Everything was running well with a Vista32 Premium install I did yesterday until I ran the Bootcamp 2.1 updater. Ethernet then stopped working, sound became unstable, and the CPU would stay pegged at 100%
    As a result, the laptop felt like it was going to burst into flames.
    I've wiped it and will start from scratch again today.
    Anyone else see this weirdness?

    Hi. Yesterday I upgraded my Touch to 3.01.

  • Bootcamp 3.1 update results in no audio output device installed

    After installing the bootcamp 3.1 update instead of getting improved/fixed audio I currently do not have any audio in windows vista 64 bit home premium. Which is to say the least quite annoying. Now i do know i have the cirrus logic audio chipset which was detected correctly in BC 3.0 however the microphone was not working. Currently no sound is working at all.
    Any suggestions are welcome.
    Regards,
    Stefan

    I think this is the driver you'll need. Others have reported that their Cirrus Audio functionality was restored with it.

    Windows XP and 7 x86 users have also had success with this driver:

  • Windows XP SP3 removal and Bootcamp 2.1 update?

    Having already installed the XP SP3 on my Macbook Pro, is it possible to uninstall it or restore XP before the SP3 installation and then go with the Bootcamp 2.1 upgrade? After this install SP3 again? Anyone with suggestion?
    Thanks

    no I got it going eventually.. the problem was i was impatient.. apparently even an hour of waiting with no response doesn't mean a hang.. If you'll just leave it overnight it will move on to the next step..
    A google search shows that i'm not the only one fooled by this.. at 33 minutes to go... there are various postings by people who assumed a hang after a long period of nothing happening..
    Anyway all happy now.. Thought i'd let people know if they have this issue.
    1/ you CAN install XP SP3 with bootcamp 2.0. The pdf guide on the site and the install guide you print out from bootcamp assistant both say twice that you can install XP SP2 or later.. The confusion comes with UPDATES form SP2 to SP3.. It appears to do this you need to first install the Bootcamp 2.1 update in windows.
    2/When installing Windows, if you get a very long period of no feedback back to you and you assume the install has hanged, if the green progress indicators are still moving it is still working, but it may take HOURS..
    Hope this helps someone else..

  • When i go to the app store to update the one app that needs to be updated, the screen is blank.  It used to list all the apps that need updating and have a button called update all.  Now nothing.  Just a blank screen.

    There's been a problem with this all day.  Seems to be a server problem  -  wait a day and try again, or use itunes on the computer to update, that works.

  • How to update the screen in realtime?

    Hey,
    i am realy new in Indesign scripting
    i want to do a simple client script… the script should receive data and write it to a textbox (or do sth else with it).
    Everything works fine the only problem is: I dont know how to make this in realtime… for example every 10 seconds data comes from the server and should be directly displayed in the Indesign file.
    I need sothing like update the screen or flush the display…
    Thank you!
    All the best
    Code:
    myFrame = app.activeDocument.textFrames.add ();
    myFrame.geometricBounds = [30,30,200,200];
    reply = "";
    conn = new Socket;
    while(conn.open("localhost:12345")) {
    reply = conn.readln()
    $.write(reply)
    myFrame.contents = reply;
    //update the frame…

    Hey thank you, it works but it is too slow,
    i try something like a remote control for indesign i am sending values to indesign to - for example- move a frame... rotate etc..
    this works more or less:
    myFrame = app.activeDocument.textFrames.add ();
    myFrame.geometricBounds = [30,30,200,200];
    for(;;)
    for(var i=0; i<100; i++){
    $.sleep(220)
    myFrame.move ([i, 16])
    myFrame.contents = "    "+i
    myFrame.recompose()
    but this is too slow, what can i do? i can see all incoming values printed to the console but there is no fluent movement. but i realy need this, any ideas?
    myFrame = app.activeDocument.textFrames.add ();
    myFrame.geometricBounds = [30,30,200,200];
    reply = "";
    conn = new Socket;
    while(conn.open("localhost:12345")) {
    reply = conn.readln()
    $.write(reply+".")
    myFrame.move ([reply, 50])
    myFrame.contents = reply
    myFrame.recompose()
    thank you !!

  • Used to zoom computer screen while using apple tv, since update, my screen is mirrored, but zooming doesn't show up

    I used to be able to zoom in and out on my computer screen while using apple tv. For example, zoom in on a certain URL or ribbon. Since the update, my screen is mirrored, but when I zoom in and out to show my Word ribbon up close, etc., the zooming doesn't show up. My zoom preferences are set on computer.

    You might try restarting your device, your router and your Apple TV.

  • DYNPRO_SEND_IN_BACKGROUND Dump due to Update Control Screen

    My question: how to suppress this "Update Control" screen ? is there anything can be controlled from user status profile ?
    Thanks,

    What is the type of user?
    Can you try with Dialog user or System user?

  • Custom field not updating in screen of Purchase Order

    Hi,
    We have customer field in header and item of purchase order. If we enter value in Header, this should automatically update in item also. We have made the changes, but issue is "If i enter the value in Header and save the purcahse Order with out enter any enter button, it is not showing the value in item. the value updated the table EKPO, but in the screen it is not showing. If come back to Purcahse Order, the value is updated in screens.  "
    Is that any way to solve this issue?

    HI
    you could try BADI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST Method Process_Header.
    you can get_data and set_data
    read header data
      gs_header   = im_header->get_data( ).
          CALL METHOD im_header->get_items
            RECEIVING
              re_items = l_items.
          LOOP AT l_items INTO l_single.
            CALL METHOD l_single-item->get_data
              RECEIVING
                re_data = gs_lines.
    After that you should use Method set_data.
    regards

  • HT2292 I am do update follow screen but when it appear error everything gone and my iPhone stuck not working any more.

    Yes I do update as screen shot pop up but I meet trouble now.
    Please help me my phone IME 013418007959678.

    Sorry, but as you already wrote, you should have never done this, and Apple will not service the phone anymore after you have opened the phone.
    Your only chance would be finding a 3rd party repair service that can fix that for you. And we can't help you either, due to the Terms of Use in these discussions.
    Good Luck anyway.
