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.

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

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

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.

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!

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 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.

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.

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?

JIm, you can make the text larger....look at the Interface Tab on the Preferences menu and you'll see several different Font size options (although there are less on OSX apparently). Make a selection, then close and restart Lightroom for the change to take effect.

Screen resolution Compaq 2405x under Windows XP

I bought a Compaq 2405x monitor and installed the drivers from CD (my system is Windows XP), The preferred resolution is 1920x1200, but the result after installation gives only other values such as 1024x768 or 1600x1200.
In ControlPanel, Properties of Monitor, Adjustment, Advanced, Monitor the item to hide non-supported modi is gray and I cannot tick it on.
How to solve this problem to obtain the preferred resolution 1920x1200?

Hi
I have connected the dynadock to my Vista notebook and to an external LCD display.
Everything seems to be ok. No flickering!!!
I dont know why your external monitor flickers but maybe you should try to change the screen resolution and the screen refresh rate

3000/N100 Mouse/Screen Resolution Problems with Windows 7

This is my first post and I appreciate your service. My problem is that after I upgraded from Vista to Windows 7, I find that my touchpad mouse will freeze up & the screen resolution will changes occasionally when I boot up my computer. When this happens, I have to restart my computer and hope that the mouse works and screen resolution is correct. If it does work, it will continue to work until I turn off or restart the computer, then I cross my fingers again. All my drivers are updated. If the touchpad mouse is frozen, I can get my usb mouse to work, but I don't want to have to do that. Has anyone else had this problem, or can anyone offer suggestions?
I never had this problem until I upgraded to Windows 7.
Thanks in advance,
Mike

I am using the Win 7 Enterprise 32 bit trial version.
It is the FULL version, NOT an upgrade.
If you used Upgrade, that may be a clue?

I updated to iTunes 11 on my Windows PC. Since the update, when I open iTunes its window is too large for my screen. Resizing is a pain, because I have to change my screen resolution. And when I restart iTunes,it has reverted back to being too large.Help!

I recently updated to iTunes 11 on my Windows PC. Since the update, each time I open iTunes its window is too large for my screen. Resizing it is a pain, because I have to change my screen resolution. And then when I restart iTunes, it has reverted back to being too large. Please help!

Having the same issue here....a quick fix is to just minimize the window, and immediately maximize it. It will now fit the screen. Trouble is, after you close it, you'll have to do it again when you re-start itunes. The good news is it takes all of about 2 seconds. Apple should fix this. Should.

Windows Does Not Remember Screen Resolution after restart

Hi Everyone,
I have a strange problem with Windows 8.1 Pro
My screen resolution resets to 800 x 600 everytime i restart my PC, and I will have to set my resolution again everytime I start my PC.
Any idea?
Cheers
Nelson

Hi Nelson,
Please check the display adapters on Device Manager.
It may be caused by your graphics driver.
I suggest you reinstall the latest graphics driver to check the result.
