Screen Resolution Problem (Max. Resolution of only 1024x768)

Hello,
I just upgraded my T61 laptop from Windows XP to Windows 7, Everything was fine at first. But one day when I turned on my laptop, I found out that the screen resolution was wrong. It was only 1024x768 (not wide screen). As a result, the screen was on the left, leaving a thick black bar on the right. The given resolutions which I could choose are only 800x600 and 1024x768, no wide screen options. Tried nvidia control panel, it was still the same. Tried to connect to an external monitor (16:9 wide screen), the resolution was, however, perfect (fit the external monitor).
I already have the newest display driver (nvidia Quadro NVS 140m - downloaded from Lenovo). I even reinstalled the driver and installed the monitor driver provided by Lenovo, but the problem still exists.
By the way, after I encountered this problem, when I turn on the laptop, there is no more screen showing the ThinkVantage and the Intel logo. There is also no screen for "Starting Windows". It will straight away enter windows logon screen. It means, I have no way to enter BIOS or the recovery tools by pressing the ThinkVantage button at startup. (I cannot see anything!)
Anyone can please help me?
Thanks!

ahboy0207, welcome to the forum,
you need to install the monitot inf file from here. Scroll down the page for installation instructions.
As you have installed another OS on your system you will have changed the Master Boot Record, (MBR), which contains the information allowing the ThinkVantage button to work at boot. If you left the recovery partition intact, i.e. didn't format it, it may be possible to repair the MBR in order that you can access it. However, the recovery partition will have the original XP image on it and not your W7.
You can enter BIOS by pressing F1 at boot.
Hope this helps

Hi
As far as i know, v570 has a hd screen and not a full hd screen. The max resolution for hd screen is what you are getting. Are you sure it was more? And what was it? And how did you got to know that? Any symptoms?

EHP1 Upgarde Monitor screen resolution problem in a support message

Hi Experts,
We have recently upgraded our Solution manager to EHP1, iam facing a screen resolution problem with 15 inch monitors.
Our key users have 15 inch monitors to their system and when they try to reply a support message under transaction data-> Overview tab -> reply it is showing only one line for them , due to which they are unable to enter the complete data in it.
How ever We have found that this does not occur with 17 inc monitors as the required screen resoution 1280* 1024 is possible due to bigger size of the monitor.
can any one suggest how to make the overview tab visible completely with small resolution monitors.
Thanks
Nanda

Does anybody know if there is a solution for this problem? I don't wanna change the screen resolution just for using that software.

Message says "screen resolution problem" and says to set higher than 1020 x 600. My screen resolution is set higher. Why am I getting this message all the time I use firefox?

when I go on to Firefox I keep getting the message that there is a screen resolution problem and it says I should set it higher a than 1020 X 600. But my screen resolution is set higher. It is set at 1360 x 768. Why am I getting this message continuously?

I've had the problem too... for at least a month or more. It would happen when logging into yahoo mail. But it happens only with firefox... not explorer. I contacted yahoo and he had me first disable add ons... no change... and since it didn't happen with explorer, they said to contact firefox. So I followed the advice of cor-el's post (on this page) and made the text on my page smaller... It did fix the issue.... but, I liked the size of the text the way I had it. So, how do I get it back to that size, and not have that annoying message any longer? thanks!!

Video capture max resolution 1024x768?

Hi,
I have a Geforce3 MX460-VTP card, and in the box it says that the video capture resolution can go up to 1024x768, but when I try to capture, tha max resolution with all of the softwares I used is 720x480.
Does the card not deliver what it promisses, or do I have some sort of driver problem?
Althogh I think this is a common problem, I could not find anything similar on the forum archives.
Thanks.

Max resolution 1024x768?

Hello,
I have a LenovoThinkPad T61 (14.1" model), and the maximum resoltion seems to be only 1024x768. Is there any way I can upgrade this by installing new drivers or something?
I seem to be using Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Mobile, if this helps.

What's your model number? It's in the form of 2888-JBN and you can find it on a sticker under your computer. A lot of the 14.1" 4:3 screen models of T61 came with 1024x768 (XGA)-resolution

Screen resolution problem in table control

when i was transfering data in BDC using table control,i got screen resolution problem.
how to rectify the problem?

Hi,
Check this coding.
WA_CTU_PARAMS type ctu_params.
WA_CTU_PARAMS-DISMODE = 'N'. "no screen mode
WA_CTU_PARAMS-UPDMODE = 'S'. "synchronous update
WA_CTU_PARAMS-NOBINPT = 'X'.
WA_CTU_PARAMS-NOBIEND = 'X'.
WA_CTU_PARAMS-DEFSIZE = 'X'. "Default size
CALL TRANSACTION 'VA01' USING it_bdcdata
OPTIONS FROM WA_CTU_PARAMS
MESSAGES INTO it_mesg.
Default size will play good role in terms of resolution. in one system in table control you can see 10rows, but in others system it will show 20 records. it depends on resolution. but when you set the default size then it will take same (default screen size) in all the systems when you run BDC.
Hope this resolves your query.

To Resolve Screen Resolution Problem

Hi
How to resolve screen resolution problem in BDC Session Method. can't we use ctu_params?
Thanx & Regards
venkat

Hi Venkat,
Yes, you can use ctu_params.
This is for Default screen size for CALL TRANSACTION. It signifies the screen size will be constant irrespective of the screen resolution(which can vary for different user). The importance of this lies in programs(module pool) that contain table controls. With default screen size we can control the no of rows in the table control which otherwise may vary depending on the screen resolution.
DEFSIZE is the Selection as to whether the screens of the called transaction are displayed in the standard screen size. Values "X" (standard size), " " (current size).
sample.
data : x_ctu_params type ctu_params.
To have default screen size, mode and update
x_ctu_params-defsize = 'X'.
x_ctu_params-dismode = 'X'.
x_ctu_params-updmode = 'X'.
call transaction tscode using bdcdata
options from x_ctu_params

How to increase the max resolution of the screen under KDE?

Now, the max resolution I can set is 1280*768, how can I get a larger one? such as 1920*1080.(my screen is big enough)
My arch is installed on a VMware virtual machine, the Win7 install on it can change the resolution as I wish.
I install the arch linux and KDE according to the beginners' guide on the wiki, please tell me if I need to provide more information.
Thank you all : )

You probably need some VMWare guest additions and drivers. Currently, it looks like your system is using the VESA/MESA framebuffer or something.

VNC - Screen Resolution Problem on Wake from Sleep

My question: When it either wakes from sleep or cold boots (NOT on restart for some reason), Mac OS X seems to be confused on the previous resolution of my screen. On wake or cold boot, my main screen SOMETIMES gets set for 800x600 at 56 Hz, according to the display preference pane. I normally run at 1152x870 at 75 Hz. In the past, I have just used the "Detect Displays" command from the display preference pane. This always fixes the screen resolution and restores it to the correct setting.
This would not be a problem if I didn't have to run VNC. These screen res changes are crashing my VNC server. Here's what I do. I run a VNC server (OSXvnc is the name). I go away. Machine goes to sleep. From machine 'x' I send a wake-on-wan packet (a pain in the butt to figure out for me, BTW). My VNC Machine wakes up. I know it's awake, because I can login to it from remote, using SSH. But the screen res problem happened, and OSXvnc shuts down and won't reinitialize automatically. It says "Screen Resolution Changed - Server Reinitialized", and the "Start Server" button is waiting to be pressed. Of course, this cripples my ability to use VNC.
For what it's worth, this problem has happened with two different video cards. Granted, the first card was an ATI Radeon 9000 with 64 MB or VRAM and the second card is the same model with 128 MB VRAM. It's virtually the same card, but still, that's two different cards.
I have 2 CRT displays connected thru adapters (DVI-VGA and ADC-VGA) to the ATI. I'm running all the latest updates for Panther, according to Software Update. This problem has been with me since 10.2.3. I lived with it until it started really getting in the way (VNC crippling & such).
Any thoughts? -- iJW
G4 Dual 1 GHz MDD (no FW 800) Mac OS X (10.3.9)

One other item I just discovered. It seems that whether or not my monitors are powered on has something to do with it. When my monitors are on, the problem doesn't happen.
I like turning them off to save electricity. If I'm using the computer remotely, I already have a monitor. I don't need one powering up at my home that no one's looking at anyway. So the question still stands...
Anyone?

Mac Mini max resolutions for 2 screens?

Hi all. I have the latest Mac Mini and I'm currently running a Samsung 24" at 1920x1080 from the Mini Displayport socket via a DVI adaptor, and also a second display at 1280x1024 from the HDMI socket via DVI adaptor.
I'm looking to upgrade the Samsung to a screen that's 1920x1200 resolution - I'm assuming the Mini can handle this slight increase but I can't find specs anywhere for this. Would it even run a 2560x1600 screen alongside the 1280x1024 one?
Many thanks in advance.

The > Mac mini (Late 2012) - Technical Specifications doesn't clearly state what the maximum resolution for each output is.
Funny part is, that the Spec's for the previous Mac Mini 2010 and 2011 models does.
One would think that they are the same? Unfortunately that would be pure speculation and contrary to the ASC Terms of Use.
On that note: Your best bet might be to > Contact Apple Support and get some clarification.

Problem with resolution of external display

Hi,
I am trying to use external display with my Unibody Aluminium Macbook Pro (NVIDIA GeForce 9400M, 2.26Gh, snow leopard). Cable setting I use is quite complicated as it is: macbook: minidisplay port>hdmi> DVI D : display. Display is LG Flatron W2242T (4:3).
So I hooked everything up and macbook detected display without any problem. The problem arises when it comes to resolution. Maximum resolution I can set (and in fact the only except 800xsomething) is 1152x870 and not only it is to low, but also it does not respect 4:3 ratio so it looks quite bad. So bad, that i cant really work on a setup like that. When I try to change resolution to any other, Display goes black. I tried using some apps, but they dont really work.
What can be the problem here? Is it connection?
I would appreciate any help.

And once you've cut thru the clutter of cables and adapters, remember the max you will be able to push the Flatron is its "native resolution", that happens to be:
Screen Size
22"
Screen Type
TFT LCD
Wide Screen
Yes
Brightness
300cd/m²
Contrast Ratio
8000:1
Viewing Angle
(Horizontal/Vertial)
160/160
Response Time
5ms
Resolution
1680X1050
Supported Colours
16.7M Colours
(data taken from LG's product page)
If you happen to have a late model MBP with the widescreen option, the Mac and the display will be on a 1:1 ratio, both are the same. Else, if you have a regular MBP, the monitor has more resolution than the Mac (1440x900) and distortion will occur if you do video mirroring.
