NB200 - Virtual screen resolution on Windows 7

Quote:
+The 10.1-inch glossy screen features a resolution of 1,024 x 600, and is bright and pleasant to use.+
+If you find that some programs have elements which appear off the screen, the graphics drivers support a virtual resolution up to 1,600 x 1,200, allowing you to pan the larger-than-screen resolution around to find what you need.+
(http://asia.cnet.com/reviews/notebooks/0,39050488,44700445p,00.htm)
The quote above and several like it (Google "NB200 virtual resolution") led me to purchase the NB200 under the impression that this was an actual feature.
Neither the pre-loaded Windows 7 Starter nor a fresh install of Windows 7 Home Premium have resulted in any such feature being available. I've checked all the options in the Intel drivers and nothing seems to be able to enable a resolution larger than 1024x600.
Has anyone managed to find this elusive feature and if it doesn't exist under Windows 7 (which the netbook *was* sold with pre-installed) then why is it being touted as a feature?

Hi
Im not sure what the guys meant by virtual resolution but usually there should be preinstalled tool called Zooming Utility.
You could increase the resolution (icons, display) pressing the FN +F2 and could decease the display again pressing FN + F1.
I think this was meant.

  • 13" Cannot set screen resolution in Windows 7 to 1440 by 900

    Just finished installing BootCamp with Windows 7 Pro. For some reason the screen resolution in Windows display driver only goes up to 1200 not 1440 x 900. On MacOS it is obviously working fine. Any ideas?

    On my MacBook Air 11 with Windows 7 64 bit I experience an even worse situation: when ever trying to install a NVidia driver (also when following the mentioned instructions) the setup executable reports - after a check of system compatibility - that no compatible graphic hardware (=320m) could be found. Luckily at least MacOS X is aware of a NVidia 320m installed.
    Any Idea? Thanks

  • NB200-10G Screen resolution problem

    Hi,
    My new NB200 does not display the toolbar when booted. It is there, I think, because if I click wildly below the visible screen there is sometimes a reaction. This seems like a screen resolution issue. When the system boots, the windows theme is distorted, as if the resolution was for a bigger screen. I have tried every combination of screen resolution but it doesn't solve it.
    Please help; this is totally destroying my pleasure at owning this new machine!
    Many thanks

    Hi,
    I have a new NB200 and exactly the same thing has occurred: The NB200 booted up correctly (POST test BIOS screen OK), but when the display switched to Windows, the login dialog box was shifted down: From there on in, the task bar was not visible (but worked when pressing the windows hot key) and the desktop items were re-sorted. The Auto hide taskbar feature is disabled.
    Rebooting the PC (Power down & restart) fixes the display problem about 50% of the time.
    Did anyone resolve this issue?
    Thanks - Richard.

  • Screen resolution in Windows XP

    Hi all,
    I have a iMac 24", with a screen resolution of 1920x1200. I installed Windows XP with Bootcamp. The problem I have now is in Windows, the highest possible choice for screen resolution is 1600x1200 which doesn't look good at all.
    How do I change that into 1920x1200?
    I am a complete newbie when it comes to windows so help is appreciated. (I only installed it to run SolidWorks during work).
    Thanks,
    Veronica

    Hi Veronica,
    just to rule ou the obvious:
    Have you installed the BootCamp Windows Drivers from the OSX DVD yet ?
    If not, while in Windows pop in the OSX DVD and the Driver Installation should start automatically.

  • Screen resolution in windows not as high as in 10.8

    I recently got my hard drive replaced in my Mid 2010 27" iMac. I've partitioned the drive to reinstall Win 7 but now the screen resolution in Win7 is not as high as it was on the old hard drive. In 10.8, it runs at full resolution 2560x1440 but in Windows it runs at 1920x1440 max.
    Anyone know how I can get Windows to show the full screen res because 1920x1440 looks like wallpaper that has been 'stretched to fit' and it's annoying to look at.
    thanks

  • Optimal screen resolution for Windows XP

    I'm using Windows XP at times, and it was installed for me when I purchased the computer via MacMall. The screen resolution is sat at screen: 1440 x 900 Color 32 BPP. Is this the desirable setting? I have not change it, as I'm wary to experiment too much with Windows XP on the Mac.

    If you're using an LCD, the optimal resolution is what ever the native (usually advertised) resolution is of the LCD. Anything lower and things may be blurry. It cannot go higher.

  • M400 Screen Resolution for Windows 7

    Hi all,
    I have an m400 tablet that I just got off lease and fixed up.  It is great running Windows 7 except that I think that I am supposed to be able to set the screen resolution to something higher than 1024 x 768.  Right now, that is the highest setting.  The only other choice is 800 x 600.  I have installed the latest graphics drivers for windows 7 from the toshiba support website.  
    Is this the limit for this machine?  It seems like it should go higher considering the M200 machine goes to the higher resolution with windows 7.
    I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.  
    Thanks!

    Solved!

    Thanks for the reply Jerry!
    It is an S5032.  
    I looked it up and you are right about the screen resolution.  It makes me feel better to know it is correct.  I had been reading about the higher resolution and I didn't realize there were diffferent specs for different versions of the notebook. 
    The m200s that I bought both allow for the higher resolution (by default on XP and with a hacked driver in windows 7).  It is understandable as to why they changed to the lower native resolution though.  The higher resolution makes reading text difficult on a 12.1 inch screen.
    It is hard to belive that this notebook retailed for $1700 in 2007 and I bought this one for $50 on ebay + $25 for a battery and power cord.  I already had a hard drive and copy of windows for it (Windows 8 Consumer Preview also worked very well but I removed it because I thought the graphics driver was not working haha).  
    Thanks again.

  • Re: Satellite L30D - Low screen resolution after Windows 7 installation

    I have installed Windows 7 on my Satellite L30D. Since this installation, I cannot have a better resolkuton than 1024x768.*It was much better with Windows Vista.
    I have downloaded the latest ATI driver. No effect. I cannot find the Catalyst Control Center as well. What can I do?

    Hi
    The Satellite L30D isnt known to me...
    Do you mean Satellite L30 or Satellite L300D?
    Normally you have to install the display driver if you want to use higher screen resolutions but check the specifications of your internal display first. Maybe the native screen resolution is 1024x768 and you cant use a higher one.
    You can download all drivers for your notebook on the Toshiba website!!! Dont use the drivers from ATI directly, they are not designed for mobile chips.

    I didn't really fix the issue with xrandr, but I did manage to get my dual monitors to work with Xinerama.

  • Screen resolution when PXE boot from WDS vs Install Windows 8.1 from USB

    Hi all
    I own a Lenovo ThinkPad T430s, X230 Tablet, and now have my hands on a T440. All three machines have UEFI Secure Boot enabled properly, i.e. Windows boot screen shows Lenovo logo instead of Windows logo.
    However, if I do a PXE boot (using Windows Deployment Services from Windows Server 2012, not R2) and boot to the same boot.wim provided on a Windows 8.1 ISO image, the boot screen resolution turns crap, and the WinPE environment runs in 640x480. Also, as opposed
    to the Lenovo logo showing on the boot screen, the Windows logo shows up instead, indicating it's not doing a secure boot?
    When booting from a USB stick however, using the same Windows 8.1 boot.wim (copied from ISO), the screen resolution in Windows Setup is detected correctly, and the Lenovo logo shows up.
    This occurs on all three machines since MDT was upgraded to MDT 2013 or when I replaced Windows 8 boot.wim with Windows 8.1 boot.wim (as the Windows ADK 8 --> ADK 8.1).
    Is there a fix for this? Do others have the same problem elsewhere?
    Many thanks 

    Hi,
    When boot UEFI-based computer from PXE you should take more into consideration.
    For some computers, you might have to perform additional steps to make sure that Windows is installed in UEFI mode, and not in legacy BIOS-compatibility mode.
    Some computers might support UEFI. However, they do not support a PXE-initiated boot when in UEFI mode.
    How to Create a PXE-Initiated Windows 8 Deployment for UEFI-Based or BIOS-Based Computers in Configuration Manager
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj938037.aspx
    Especially for “Pre-Deployment Considerations”
    If you still cannot find a way to make it boot from UEFI mode, you should contact with manufacture to confirm if PXE-initiated boot is supported.
    Hope this helps.

  • Screen Resolution in Virtual Box

    Okay, my next obstacle.
    I installed guest additions as the wiki instructed:
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Vi … _Additions
    and have xorg installed, but with the minimum xorg-server package.
    I read another forum post from awhile ago about hardcoding resolution in a GRUB config file, but I don't have the config file they spoke of, and I can't seem to find the post anymore.
    Screen resizing doesn't appear to work. In changing the size of the virtual box window, the screen resolution remains the same. I'm not exactly sure shared-clipboard is working either, though I don't have a definitive test for that.
    Syncing the host time and guest time seems to have worked though.
    How do I go about enabling screen-resizing? I would prefer if it auto-resized based on the virtualbox window size, instead of hardcoding a bigger resolution. If that's possible.

    I'm not entirely sure what you mean by the minimum xorg-server package - just X with no desktop environment or window manager?  If so, I think that might be the issue.  As an experiment, you could clone your installation in Virtualbox, and install Xfce on the clone.  If you can resize the window with Xfce running, then you know you have everything configured properly.
    For hard-coding a resolution at boot time, you can put "vga=792" in your grub config file.  I use syslinux, so I can't tell you for sure about grub.  But in syslinux, mine looks like this:
    APPEND root=/dev/sda1 ro vga=792
    You can google the keywords "vga resolution codes" to find codes for other settings, but 792 will give you 1024x768 with 24 bits.
    Sorry I'm not much of an expert, but hopefully that will give you some avenues to pursue.

  • Why does my maximised app window appear a different size to the screen resolution?

    First: I'm a beginner with windows programming, fumbling my way through visual studio and C# (my background is C with console applications)... sorry if this is a naive question!
    Short story: When I create a window of the same size as the screen resolution. My app window is ~20% larger than my device's screen. Why is this happening?
    Long story: I'm attempting to develop an application with a fixed size window and absolute positioning of UI elements. The application will only ever run at a fixed resolution, on a single device, borderless/non-resizeable and full-screen. The resolution
    of the display on which it will run is 1280x800 (according to the device specs and resolution reported by the windows control panel) . However, when I create a window of this size, it is too large to fit onscreen. In fact, I have to create a window 1024x640
    (0.8x screen resolution) for it to perfectly fit the screen. Anyone know why this is happening?
    Thanks!

    It sounds like you are running in a high-DPI mode but your app is not DPI aware and is getting virtualized. Windows will tell the app it's running at 96 DPI and then embiggen the rendered window so it ends up at the user's requested zoom level.

  • VM Workstation 11:  trouble screen resolution Windows 2012

    Hi all,
    I've just installed Workstation 11 and I'm experiencing a problem I find very annoying and slightly odd ..
    I'm running VMware on a Windows 8.1 host pc with very high screen resolution (3200 x 1800) which is a pain in general.
    However. My virtual Windows 2008 R2 servers all work nicely in VM Workstation 11, running on 3200x1800
    and I can even use the convenient Autofit Guest function without much problems.
    The odd thing is .. my virtual Windows 2012 R2 server is not playing along at all.
    It only seems to support screen resolutions up to 2560x1600 and worse, it doesn't take Autofit at all.
    Meaning it will result in a totally black screen, after which I have to use Center Guest to get it back
    and then manually set all my 2008 R2 to high resolution again. (In 2 steps coz of the 800x600 it starts in)
    I'm surprised, as 2012 is much more recent than 2008, so if one would expect anything like this, it would rather be the opposite?
    I have upgraded my virtual hardware on the 2012 R2 to Workstation 11 but to no avail.
    Does anybody have  the same problem?
    Could it be Workstation, or Microsoft ?
    (I have found no info on screen resolution limitations in 2012 R2)
    Thanks a lot for your replies!

  • Unable to Change Screen Resolution in Remote Session - Windows Server 2012 R2

    Does anybody know of a way to allow Remote Desktop users to adjust their own screen resolution in a remote session under Windows Server 2012 R2? We are struggling with this and can't seem to find a solution.
    When users login to their RDP session and try to adjust their screen resolution this message is displayed in Control Panel:
    "The display settings can't be changed from a remote session."
    We don't want to use the "make text and other items larger or smaller" scaling feature, as this produces undesirable results with some of our applications.  We also don't want to have to support multiple types of RDP clients or RDP shortcut
    files.
    We have looked at other posts but can't find an answer that applies to Windows Server 2012 R2.  The closest thing we could find is KB2726399, but it only applies to Server 2008.
    Does anybody have a solution for Server 2012?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Currently you cannot change the resolution from within the session.  This is normal and expected behavior.  
    Unfortunately this means you need to set the desired resolution before connecting by using custom .rdp files, manually within the Remote Desktop Client, custom web launch page, custom windows launch program, etc.

  • Screen Resolution trouble on Toshiba Satellite l775-s7307after reinstallation of Windows 7

    I was having troubles. Had browser malware that couldn't be contained, and I had other issues, such as, getting the blue screen of death on a regular basis.....I wiped the HD, and reinstalled Windows 7-32 bit, and downloaded and installed all the drivers for this model from the Toshiba website, but I seem to be struggling with readjusting my screen resolution to where it should be....It won't set any higher than 1024 x 768.
    Any ideas?

    In the future, I'd recommend performing a system recovery rather than reinstalling a clean copy of Windows. A system recovery will include all applicable software.
    You installed the latest Intel display driver?
