Screen Resolution Issue, Itunes? Vista?

Hello!
Ok, so every time I open Itunes my screen resolution gets automatically switched to the lowest possible resolution. An itunes pop up keeps saying:
"For best results with itunes, use a screen resolution of at least 1024x768. You can change this setting in Display Settings".
Which doesn't make sense to me anyway because why would it be switched to low when its saying it needs to be higher?
I go into control panel and switch it back to a higher resolution only to have the same problem EVERY time I open itunes. I'm using vista but the pop ups are definitely from itunes. A second pop up message that shows up is:
"Itunes.exe has been set to run in compatibility mode for an older version of windows. For best results turn off compatibility mode for itunes before you open it."
So, I check under properties for itunes.exe and compatibility mode is NOT checked off. I can't figure out where to turn off compatibility. This issue and the pop ups only started after I ran itunes "as administrator" so vista would let me edit song information.
Can anyone help me?
Thanx

So I've answered my own question. In the properties tab of itunes.exe I went into Settings for all Users and unchecked the screen resolution option. Relatively simple, but it proved exceedingly frustrating. I guess in Vista you just have to uncheck everything twice. I still can't get rid of the compatibility mode message, but that was the least of my worries.

ThinkPad T500 Screen Resolution Issues

Dear All,
Wonder if anybody can provide any advise on the following issue(s):
Just bought a T500 Centrino vpro, running on XP professional, 15" screen. Really happy with it, its fast and all. However, there seem to be only a few screen resolution options available. On my old Acer Travelmate, I used to have a 1024x600 which suited my myopia just fine. The closest setting to this one seems to be the 1024X768 but it is not great 'cos items appear a tad out of focus.
I understand the T500 i just bought was built to accommodate Vista (as a side note, a Vista Business tag with serial number can be found at the back of my laptop although the machine came with XP pro preinstalled..This leads me to my other question: What happened to my Vista?) and this perhaps explains the limited resolution options available and the fact that apart from the native setting all other resolutions available are not optimal.
Many thanks in advance.

There are several methods to increase the font sizes on your screen:
1) right click on desktop.
2) select personalize
3) select adjust font size (DPI) under the task list on the left
4) select the larger font size that is available.
Sometimes there are fonts that are just too small to read on the web browser.
Hold down your Ctrl key and use the mouse scroll button to increase the font size.
Alternatively Press the blue Fn button on the keyboard and then press the Space bar.

Screen Resolution issue - BDC Grid

Hi All,
I am facing an issue with BDC for PRMM transaction.
If we look at the PRMM transaction, the very first screen consist of GRid forAction type.
The records in the grid of PRMM transaction is changing as per the screen resolution of User desktop.
Example: In my screen, I am able to see 16 rows in Grid and in user desktop i can see 10 or 20 rows. Because of this the Pagedown option and BDC is not behaving properly.
Please suggest what should be done to resolve it.
Thanks,
Shilpa

Hi Shilpa,
during recording from SHDB, use check box for Default Size.
in call transaction syntax: use
data: wa_opt type ctu_params.

wa_opt-defsize = c_check.[X]
wa_opt-updmode = 'A'.
CALL TRANSACTION c_me41 USING i_bdcdata

Screen Resolution Issue upon Install

Howdy,
I just installed Arch for the first time (after using Ubuntu for a few years) and I'm having a problem. For some reason, it is messing up the screen resolution after rebooting the system. It occurs every time, and the text appears to both wrap around the monitor from the middle and extend beyond the bottom of the screen. The error is reproducable; when I boot up an Ubuntu live-cd, I get the same issue when trying to set my screen resolution to 1280x800. Every mode below that works just fine.
I tried a bunch of different things with respect to the screen resolution, but no matter what I set "vga=" to, I can't get it to display properly. X will open just fine, but with the same issue. For reference, here are the specs of my computer:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/docu … ct=3686683
Also, I am using the x86_64 install, though it happened with the i686 one as well.
Any help is appreciated, and though I will do what I can, it will be hard for me to post anything from arch since I can't see much.
Thank you in advance

Are you using any DE? Does it happen even before you install X?

Macbook Pro Retina Screen Resolution Issues

I have just bought a retina display Macbook Pro (Early 2013) with OS X 10.8.3 Mountain Lion.
Before getting it, I did not realize what an effect it would have on the use of my existing programs, and had I known, I would have thought twice before switching from my non-Retina Macbook Pro. I have never had so many problems with a brand new computer. On my retina screen, programs such as Microsoft Office 2011, Adobe Creative Suite 5 and Acrobat Pro X run with an awful screen resolution and impossibile legibility. The pixelated graphics and image quality hurt my eyes, beyond the fact that I cannot see my lines, images and text properly in order to work with them.
In these programs, the "Open in Low Resolution" button is enabled permanatly and cannot be changed as it's option is ghosted out. I do not know how to make it look better or what to do. I cannot work using this low resolution and this issue has affected my productivity.

Windows 7 screen resolution issues

Hello
I've recently had to install Windows 7 on Bootcamp on my MacBook Pro - late 2011, 4GB RAM, 1GB AMD Radeon card - and I'm having three minor issues that are slowly driving me nuts:
1) the screen resolution looks kinda fuzzy, with fonts looking readable but nowhere as clear as on the Mac side or even in normal Windows laptops;
2) the maximum screen resolution is 1152x864. I thought I'd be allowed same resolutions as on the Mac side. Also because of that 4:3 ratio...
3) ...the screen looks distorted, meaning all images I have to use in my work also look visibly out of proportion. Is there a way of fixing this, i.e using the Mac's 1.6:1 ratio?
Could that be because perhaps the system is not recognising the video card?
Many thanks to all and happy new year

[SOLVED] Screen resolution issue

I've had an issue with screen resolution for awhile. Basically, I have it set
correctly, but a small portion of the screen is cut off on the right-hand side
of the screen. When using just the CLI, it's about a character that gets cut
off, In X (regardless of DE) it's about half the width of a toolbar. It's not
that big a deal, but it's really starting to bother me. I know I have the
resolution set correctly (1680x1050). The monitor is a LG Flatron W2252TQ.
Any ideas?

Wow, that was the simplest fix ever. I can't believe I didn't think of that. All it took was one button press.

X201 screen resolution issues

My x201 has a maximum screen resolution in the settings of 1280 x 800 but states that anything under 1280 x 960 may mean that some information is not displayed on the screen. I have this problem with a program that I am running. Any suggestions please.....

you can change it.
even on a netbook you can change the resolution.
make sure you have the right drivers fot the GPU.
go to the site and grab it.
i run customs all the time but you will need full software support of the graphic chip so that means not just the display driver but it software as well.
go to intels site for that.
most pc makers dont include the software just the display driver.
same one as windows has built in.
once you have fiull surport you can change it easy even give it a boost,adjust certin things.
intel is not as complex as say AMD or nvid but it getting better.
there be a limit to what the latop own display can do dpi wise size wise so on and what you read well on it depends on options too alot have a finer pith disply.
again install the software package for that chipset.

Screen Resolution Issues

Hi,
I am working with a developer on an application in air and we are having trouble adjusting the screen resolution to meet the various computers that will be running the app.
On my computer with resolution of 1440 x 900 the app looks great but as soon as we install it on another computer with moderately weaker resolution, much of the program is cut off.
Is there a way have the applicaiton adjust to different screen resolutions automatically? Or is there something we can write into the code that would not require countless hours of labor?
Or can you make a recomendation as to the resolution we should be focusing on?
Thanks!

Design your app with the minimum screen res your audience would be using (i.e. if you plan on making your app for your gamer friends, assume theyll be on a higher resolution, your grandmother is probably a lower res). 1024x768 is the safest bet.
use
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;
instead of trying to force a specific size.

Screen Resolution issue with most third party Apps

I have noticed that the screen resolution on my new iPhone 6 is not the same across the apps. For example when I open Facebook, the fonts seems to be like a little blurred and the background appears blurred. I am sure the third party apps need to work with the new iPhone to get it fixed. But just wanted to make sure that there is no need to do anything at this point. These apps are making the new iPhone screen resolution look sub-standard which is in no way Apple's fault. These Apps need to grow up faster and release updated versions before the users start cursing them for lagging behind lol..
On the other hand the Apps designed by Apple work perfectly fine!
The new iPhone 6 is beautiful! Thank you Apple! I love you.

I can't help with the problem, since I don't have a laptop or second monitor, but if you want to report this to Apple, send a bug report (or enhancement request) via its Bug Reporter system. Join the Apple Developer Connection (ADC)—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report/enhancement request. You'll get a get a Bug ID number; thus, starting a dialog directly with engineering.

Reader 11.0.04 on Win 7 screen resolution issue

Hello,
There are two Windows accounts on my machine (Windows 7, home). When I log into one account, Adobe Reader (11.0.04) works fine. When I log into the other account, and open Reader, the screen resolution changes, and the Reader screen looks huge. Everything on the computer looks that way until I close the Adobe application. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Reader to no avail. I tried changing settings in Reader, but the changes never save (change Smooth Text to "none" from laptop/LCD, etc...).
There has to be something different between the two Windows user accounts, but I can't figure out what it is. Why would it work on one login, but not the other?
Please help!

Thing is, Reader DOESN'T have the ability to set a default printer. That's strictly Windows.

ATI 5700 HD & 32" TV --- Screen resolution Issue

Hey all,
I recently set up a media center using arch as my distro. Everything works great! The only problem I have is that my screen resolution isn't perfect.
I have an ATI 5700 HD, I'm using the open source drivers. I have a Philips 32" 1080p TV --- optimal resolution is 1920x1080.
I'm using gnome, and under System > Administration > Monitors the correct resolution is shown. However, I can clearly see a half-inch thick border around my screen! I know this isn't correct, because my old acer aspire revo (using the nvidia blobs) can show the entire screen at the same resolution!
I have no intention of using the catalyst drivers but I fear that I may have to in order to get this working! Any ideas?
Attached is my xorg.conf config (I know it's unnecessary, but I generated it anyways).
My question: can I have full screen resolution WITHOUT using the closed-source tools & drivers?
Thanks
xorg.conf : http://pastebin.com/B4iEqTrM

I dropped the above into a shell script and added it to gnome startup, which worked but looked ugly. I then tried creating a .desktop file in ~/.config/autostarts/ but that looked ugly too...
so I added it to ~/.xinitrc as
exec xrandr --output HDMI-0 --set underscan off &
And that didn't work at all.
Anyone have any better way of implementing this on a more permanent (and dare i say elegant) level? I mucked with xorg.conf but that didn't work.

Cs6 fluid grid layout wide-screen resolution issue

Hi all, I've done some poking around but have not found anything that answers this question - if I missed something please pass me the link!
So I'm doing a new site in cs6 with fluid grid layouts. It's fine in terms of screen sizes, that is, small medium large, but different resolutions make the content appear differently. Specifically on desktop size screens with wide-screen resolutions (eg 1600X1200) the content is squeezed up towards the top of the page. The background image is fine on all resolutions - fills the screen - but the content on top changes according to the resolution. On my screen (1600X900) there's a nice distribution of content vertically. Is there any way to make it so that the content adjusts for resolution, not just size? Thanks in advance.

What I'd like is for the widescreen view not to change the vertical distribution. That is, on my screen the content fills about 3/4 of the screen, which looks fine. On widescreen resolution, it barely covers 2/3 and it looks top-heavy - users I've asked with widescreen resolutions have said "it looks squished towards the top, why don't you move it down?". I guess I don't understand, if height as well as width is determined in percentage, why this happens (that lack of understanding could reveal my fundamental lack of understanding of aspect ratio/mathematics in general ).
I suppose I could give a bigger margin at the top to move the content down the page in all cases, but on my screen, not widescreen, that's not ideal. And I'm hoping there's a way to adjust for widescreen without affecting all resolutions.

Intermittent screen resolution issues on Macbook Pro

My screen can be clear and then reduced resolution or reduced color palatte. So I know the screen has full resolution capabilty, it just changes without notice for no reason.

I've just purchased an Envy Rcline 23-k300br and eversince I turned it on for the first time, I 've noticed an issue with the screen: the resolution of the screen is VERY BAD as I can see something like "strips" pof pixels, which makes it difficutl to read things on it (if looks as if there was a plastic film covering it, but there isn't). The pixels seem not to have a continuity, making the image (especilly in written text) very ugly and irregular. I have also noticed that when I press the back of the screen (for example to move the computer's position), the front screen shows a blurred yellowish spot (whcih changes the correct color of whatever is being shown on the screen at the moment), which disappears as soon as I stop pressing it (notice that even the slightest presure will cause the spot to appear).I have a Touchsmart 640 (windows 7) and the screen has an awesome resolution and it's perfect! I cannot understand why this happens on Envy Recline, since it's supposed to be a more modern (and improved) computer.
