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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Screen resolution preferences does not work for me...

    I have a 1920x1080, 17.4 laptop. That is approx 126.6 ppi screen resolution if my calculkations are correct...
    So in order to set PS to display real size of the images according to the zoom, I go to edit / preferences / units & rulers and set the screen resolution to 126.6 instead of the default 72ppi.
    But nothing changes...what am I doing wrong? 100% zoom is still showing much larger image than real (as if 72ppi screen resolution was unchanged). I have tried extreme ppi like 10 and 1000 to see if anything chaged but still nothing, I have restarted Ps and the laptop, and the preferences are correctly saved but zoom still wrong...
    Help very much appreciated!

    It works when you go to the View menu and select Print Size. When you load an image and turn on (Ctrl r) Rulers, the on screen rulers the should match a physical ruler and the image would be the same size onscreen as it would be on paper. This function needed your screen resolution in order to accurately do this. 
    You should use your horizontal screen size in inches, not your diagonal screen size as 1024 is the horizontal pixel dimensions of your screen. 
    Screen resolution (ppi) = 1024 px/horizontal size inches.

  • Downloads Low resolution images and not the high resolution as it did in 08

    'm using iPhoto '09 , unfortunately iPhoto only downloads the low res images and not the high resolution images. This makes it pretty much worthless, since the low resolution images are really bad in iPhoto. There was not any problems with Iphoto in the past Thank You

    What do you mean by "downloading"? There are a couple of ways to get image file out of iPhoto:
    1 - select the thumbnails and drag them to the desktop. This will give you copies of the latest version of each photo.
    2 - select the thumbnails, use the File->Export->File Export menu option. Depending on how you configure the export you will get the original, the latest version and/or a reduced size copy that you determine.
    3 - select thumbnails and use the Share->Send to DVD. This produces a mini library of the photos you've selected which include the original files, thumbnail files and any modified/edited file. This method is intended for use on computers that are running iPhoto.
    Which method are you using?

  • MDT 2013: WinPE Screen Resolution for Tablets not adapted

    Hello guys,
    I'm using MDT 2013 to deploy Windows 8.1 on tablets.
    So, after generated the boot image including the right drivers inside, I boot up my tablets through WinPE (Boot on LAN).
    Once WinPE initiated, I'm now in the Deployment Welcome Screen with a very low resolution. The welcome screen filled the entire screen. Worse, the next window is bigger than the screen.
    So my question is, how to handle with this behaviour?
    Thanks guys in advance for your help,

    Hi,
    Thanks for your help. 
    I've read few posts about injecting an Unattend.xml file in the boot image including this link you mentionned.
    I'm not sure to be right but what I did is the following:
    1) create a file called Unattend.xml with the following content:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend">
        <settings pass="windowsPE">
            <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State">
                <Display>
                    <ColorDepth>32</ColorDepth>
                    <HorizontalResolution>1024</HorizontalResolution>
                    <RefreshRate>60</RefreshRate>
                    <VerticalResolution>768</VerticalResolution>
                </Display>
            </component>
        </settings>
    </unattend>
    2) put it in my "extrafolder" in order to be imported when I create the boot image through MDT.
    3) once created, checked that the Unattend.xml file is in the root of my boot image wim file
    4) import the new boot image into WDS
    So, I've tested the new boot image in at least 3 different kind of computers (tablet, laptop and desktop), the result is the same: the machines restart automatically when they try to load the MDT Welcome environment.
    What's wrong?

  • Screen resolution, changes are not saved

    Hi Folks,
    When I change the screen resoultion (from 800*600 to 1280*800), it's OK but it comes back to the former resolution systematically after booting.
    In the same order I can't change the sreen image and some of the pwd of my mail accoud is not stored : I've to reenter it each time.
    I'm currently running 10.5.4 on my white mb. To give you the complete picture, I've just change my HDD and reinstalled X + import my former configuration with a dock.
    I've tryed several things including PRAM refresh, deleting some come.apple.X.plist in biblio/pref (maybe note the good ones ?)
    Thanks VERY much for your advives and solutions.

    Try to reset the NVRAM/PRAM http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1895 since the display settings are stored there.

  • Premier Elements 11 screen refresh when window not full screen

    Hi,
    Have following spec pc:
    Pentium 4 3.6Ghz 2Gb Ram with NVidia GTS450 latest display drivers and windows XP service pack 3.
    When running Premier elements in not full screen mode moving the window leaves window trails behind and screen does not refresh. In full screen things are ok?.
    What can be causing this and is there anything that can be done to resolve this apart from upgrading my pc etc.
    Thanks.

    Welcome to the forum.
    I have the same, or very similar GUI display issues with PrE 11 on an older laptop, running XP-Pro SP3 and an nVidia GeForce 8800M GTX w/ 512MB VRAM. Unfortunately, for that chip and on XP-Pro, the latest video driver is from back in 2011 (IIRC), and no new one in sight.
    I feel that the only solution will be to update the OS to Win7 (allowing a newer video driver from nVidia), or replacement of the laptop (which I am doing).
    PrE 4.0, PrPro CS 2, AE CS 2, and other, older Adobe programs, all work perfectly, but PrE 11 has display issues. To me, this means that the newer version's GUI interfaces more closely with the video driver, than the other programs.
    Even for a company, like nVidia, the XP OS route is now a deadend.
    Sorry for the bad news, but know that you are not alone.
    Good luck,

  • 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.

  • Auto-Detect Screen Resolution Does Not Work Across Multiple Monitors With Different Resolutions

    Hi,
    The Acrobat Pro DC (15.007.20033.2203) auto-detect screen resolution feature does not work with multiple monitors at different resolutions.  Acrobat looks fine on my hidpi primary laptop display (Razr 14" 2014) but is completely unusable if I drag or extend the application to a standard HD resolution secondary monitor. Dragging Acrobat from my primary desktop display to the secondary display causes the UI elements to become 2x as large as they should be and makes Acrobat unusable. 
    Is there a way to make Acrobat auto-detect the display that it is currently on? 
    Thanks!
    -Donald

    To prevent it from happing again, you can
    1. go to the Mouse preference and turn off the scroll zoom feature.
    2. go to the Universal Access preference and disable the zoom features.

  • Screen resolution in WinPE 5.0 on UEFI devices

    Hi
    Can you please help me with the issue i am facing? 
    The screen resolution in WinPE is very high, the drop down values in MDT wizard are extremely small and almost unreadable. I see a similar question posted on technet for screen resolution in
    WinPE 4.0 but I am unable to fix it.
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/66bd25d3-cc37-4841-be38-3f427db36b57/winpe-screen-resolution-problem-no-display-signal-out-of-range?forum=w7itproinstall
    The HTA screen looks OK but the when you select the drop down, the values are extremely small. 
    I also referred to the article from Johan
    http://www.deploymentresearch.com/Research/tabid/62/EntryId/51/Setting-screen-resolution-in-WinPE-4-0.aspx
    Below is my setup:
    MDT 2013
    Windows 8.1 x64
    Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet 10 (UEFI)
    Tried the below but no luck:
    Changed the ColorDepth to 32 in unattend.xml in WinPE pass
    Tried modifying the Wizard.hta with different screen size and style.zoom
    Playing around with the HTA settings might help but i am unsure how it looks and behaves on other UEFI devices.
    Currently we are using Lenovo Tablet 10 but soon will also be using Surface Pro.
    Am I missing something or is there a better way to do fix it?

    Hi,
    If our only issue is this particular font size, we can adjust some setting in files of
     script folder.
    For example,  open  DeployWiz_LanguageUI.xml under Scripts folder, here is just an example to make keyboard layout font large.
    Find:
    <SELECT NAME="KeyboardLocale_Edit" class=WideEdit >
    Edit it as:
    <SELECT NAME="KeyboardLocale_Edit" class=WideEdit style="font-size: 30px" >
    The result is just like:
    About the root cause, there would be something wrong with the WinPE image, in my test, WinPE 5 works good under UEFI mode. You can recreate one for test.
