I foolishly set my screen resolution to what my computer recommended, now I get Input beyond range

As I said in the intro, when i switched on this morning the pc suggested I reset my screen resolution to 2560x1600 which i did and now i cannot access even the login screen.
All help seems to point towards safe-mode but i cannot even get to that.
Any ideas? or should I throw away windows 8 and buy a mac instead?

Well no help, no support, nobody seems able to solve this.
I solved it myself.
Solution:
Press F10 and a screen appears for configuring the system.
Select the "Secure Boot" option and disable it and disable "Fast Boot"
THEN next re-start (by pressing and hlding power button) and press F8 until it asks about starting up then follow the last part of this advice:
http://www.howtogeek.com/107511/how-to-boot-into-safe-mode-on-windows-8-the-easy-way/
Then it gives you the option to reset the graphics.
It still prompts me to change the graphics but this can also be turned off by stopping all notifications which are rubbish anyway.
Well done HP, no help and you have a faulty peice of software that prompts users to set screen resolution that makes the system unusable.
Next PC will NOT be a HP one

  • What should I set me screen resolution to in photoshop CC with my late 2009 27" iMac?

    What should I set me screen resolution to in photoshop CC with my late 2009 27" iMac?

    If its native resolution is 2560x1440 then some people do find it marginal with a 27 inch screen, but I'd have thought it workable if you know where everything is.  People are using that screen res on tiny laptops, but to be fair, they are not much liking it with Photoshop.
    I don't know how Retina support works with CC, but I wonder if you could force it on your iMac?
    Any Mac users out there know how Retina support works?

    Hi,
    Use the below syntax...
    CALL TRANSACTION tcode... OPTIONS FROM opt
    ... OPTIONS FROM opt
    Effect
    Allows you to control processing using the values of the componetns of the structure opt, which must have the ABAP Dictionary type CTU_PARAMS. The components have the following meanings:
    DISMODE
    Display mode (like the MODE addition)
    UPDMODE
    Update mode (like the UPDATE addition)
    CATTMODE
    CATT mode (controls a CATT)
    CATT mode can have the following values:
    ' ' No CATT active
    'N' CATT without single-screen control
    'A' CATT with single-screen control
    DEFSIZE
    Use default window size
    RACOMMIT
    Do not end transaction at COMMIT WORK
    NOBINPT
    No batch input mode (that is, SY-BINPT = SPACE)
    NOBIEND
    No batch input mode after the end of BDC data.
    The components DEFSIZE , RACOMMIT, NOBINPT, and NOBIEND always take the following values:
    'X' Yes
    ' ' No
    If you do not use the OPTIONS FROM addition, the following control parameter settings apply:
    DISMODE
    From addition MODE
    UPDMODE
    From addition UPDATE
    CATTMODE
    No CATT active
    DEFSIZE
    Do not use default window size
    RACOMMIT
    Successful end on COMMIT WORK
    NOBINPT
    Batch input mode active ( SY-BINPT = X
    NOBIEND
    Batch input mode remains active after the BDC data

  • Accidental​ly set my screen resolution too high

    I was playing around with screen resolutions and accidentally set one too high and now every time i load up my Computer, it says 'Input not supported' , please help me.

    It would help greatly if you:
    A) Identified the installed operating system
    B) Identified your HP desktop PC. (look on the service tag. Post the complete  p/n
    If your OS is Windows 7, start the operating system in Safe Mode. Press the power button and before Windows begins to boot, start tapping the F8 key. Choose Safe Mode.  In Safe Mode click on the start button and type  msconfig in the search all programs and files box . Click on the msconfig icon that appears above to invoke msconfig. In the msconfig dialog choose the Boot tab as in the following image. In Boot options put a tick inside the box to the left of base video, then click on apply and OK. Restart your PC and  right-click an unused area on the desktop and set your resolution. Choose the recommended resolution.  After you do that, go back to the msconfig and remove the tick mark in the Boot options -->Base video, click on OK and restart your PC. All should be back to normal again.
    The desktop I am using has a dual display setup, so yours will appear a bit differently. the operatng system will recommend an optimal resolution and designate it as recommended.
    Best regards,

  • Where can I set the screen resolution

    I am trying to use do a course online and they said that the screen resolution needs to be set at 1024 x 768. Where do I do this?

    You can paste this in the Code field in the Firefox > Web Development (or Tools) > Error Console and click the Evaluate button and enter 1024x768 on the prompt.
    <pre><nowiki>
    var Cc=Components.classes, Ci=Components.interfaces;
    var ps = Cc["@mozilla.org/embedcomp/prompt-service;1"].getService(Ci.nsIPromptService);
    var wm = Cc["@mozilla.org/appshell/window-mediator;1"].getService(Ci.nsIWindowMediator);
    var nb = wm.getMostRecentWindow("navigator:browser");
    var txt = 'width x height';
    var obj = new Object; obj.value = nb.window.outerWidth + 'x' + nb.window.outerHeight;
    if(ps.prompt(null, 'Resize', txt, obj, null, {}) && (obj.value != null)){
    var vA = obj.value.split("x");
    if(vA[0]) nb.window.outerWidth = vA[0];
    if(vA[1]) nb.window.outerHeight = vA[1];

  • 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.

  • TS2570 I have tried all these steps and still the Gray Screen appears. What shall I do now?

    I still have the appearance of the gray screen after preforming all the solutions provided by apple support.
    What shall I do now?

    Of course it would help to know what you have tried but without that information here goes:
    Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
    If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
    Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

  • I set up my iPad mini without a computer and now, when trying to connect it to my mac it asks if I want to set up as new iPad

    I set up my iPad mini without a computer and have been using it for months.  Now, when trying to connect it to my mac it asks if I want to set up as new iPad or restore from back up (Which I don't have). 
    Is there a way I can connect to my computer and itunes without losing everything I've done on it for the past months?

    Go ahead and set it up as new. It's just new as far as iTunes is concerned. Shouldn't result in the loss of anything.

  • How to set up screen resolution for actual size zoom?

    I have a monitor with 109 ppi resolution, and I`ve already set this resolution in photoshop and acrobat preferences, but i can`t find where in illustrator cs5 it can be set up, so i would be able to preview my artworks in correct actual print size.

    Go to Edit > Preferences > User Interface and select Scale to lower supported Scale factor.
    This will reset adjust the UI to 100%. You can hover over the info icon and see more details.
    This happens because your OS scaling level is higher.
    Good Luck.

  • HT201718 IMac is on white screen "Open Firmware" what shall I do now

    well I have a genuine Mac Leopard OS X 10.6.7 installation disk and the iMac is stuck in grey screen and says  in panic: We are hanging here.I have been able to get to white scree in Open Firmware but that's about it. Holding the C key down doesn't start the installation disk.

    Is your signature correct?
    The A1076 is not able to run 10.6 - that OS is for Intel Macs. That model is a PowerPC G5.
    You need the original install disks or a copy of 10.5 to install or fix that hardware.
