Screen resolution rolls back to 1024X768

Hello everyone. I'm using a 3000 N100 and I have this nagging problem.
Every so often, at Windows startup, the screen resolution turns back, by itself, to 1024X768, leaving two big vertical lines on each side of the screen. I must then go to Device Manager, disinstall the monitor, then go to Intel Graphics display properties, and select 1280X800. Everything will be just fine for a couple of startups (a few days), then, by magic, it turns itself back to 1024X768.
I'm supposed to be running the latest driver.
Pissed to have to do this on a supposedly pretty good little computer.

Hello,
Without laptop model it's hard  to advice.
On my G530 it's a BIOS issue. Latest BIOS upgrade says it fixes issues with screen resolution. I suggest you look into latest BIOS, perhaps it's the issue.

  • Can your ipad3 screen resolution be changed from 1024x768 to 600x800?

  • 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.

  • Screen resolution in Word 2008

    I am thinking of buying Office 2008, and noticed that MS recommends a screen resolution of at least 1024x768 for Word. But I have my Macbook set at 1024 X 640 because at any greater resolution, the various task bars in my browser and app's become too small to work with conveniently. For instance, the urls in the browser address bar in Safari shrink when the screen is set to 1024 X 768 - so I find myself re-setting the resolution.
    Anyway, does Word work and look OK with 1024 x 640?

    I looked at it in that resolution and thought it looked awful. It's usable but yuck. Have you considered using the zoom feature built into the Universal Access system preference?

  • Why does opening iTunes cause my screen resolution to change automatically?

    Recently opening iTunes started automatically changing my screen resolution.  When I close iTunes the screen resolution reverts back to normal.  Does anyone now why this is happening or how I can make it stop?  I am also unable to view my music library, ipod and contents, paylists etc.... in a column on the left side of iTunes like I used to be able to do.  Any help with that issue?

    I have tha same problem on the same Mac with CS6 Design Standard.
    And I don't know how repair it.
    Maybe does it happen for the switching of the graphic card from Intel HD to Nvidia GeForce?

  • Feature Request: provide screen resolution options?

    Firstly, thanks for the amazing browserlab, it's so useful.
    However, it would be great if we could preview sites in different screen sizes too.
    Is this feature likely to be added at any point?

    Hello,
    I'd like to see more screen resolution settings too
    Currently, 1024x768 is still a good percentage of visitors, but IMHO the sum of people with 1280+ is greater.
    It also seems to me that your virtual machines sometimes renders a little less than 1024...
    thank you for improving Browser Lab

  • M92P Screen Resolution Reverts to 1024x768

    We have an issue with our desktops where the screen resolution reverts to 1024x768 on an apparent screen refresh.
    We are using Windows 7 M92P ThinkCentre desktops with dual displayport, extended display output on L2251X's (both at 1680x1050). The graphics driver/chip is on-board Intel HD 4000.
    It all works fine until the screen refreshes, an example being when a UAC prompt appears. The monitors will flip (so the primary display will become display 2), display 1 will change to 1024x768 and display 2 will change to 800x600.
    If you go into Control Panel > Display > Screen Resolution and try to drag display 2 back into it's correct position whilst setting the correct resolutions, clicking apply does nothing. If you try this multiple times (anywhere from 3-10 attempts) it will eventually apply.
    Is this a memory issue? We have 4GB of memory installed.
    Is it a driver issue? We have the latest Intel HD 4000 driver and latest BIOS (up to this post's timestamp).
    Any help would be appreciated!

    Hi, TheMagic89
    Have you updated your machines to the latest BIOS, found here? Looking at the ReadMe of the BIOS update, it does provide some assistance with another resolution issue and it may help. Also, how long have you been facing this issue?
    Thanks in advance,
    Adam

  • 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

  • Screen resolution does not change back after using a projector

    Hi!
    My office uses several different models of macbooks, but there is a small problem with all the Airs. When I have been using them with a projector I have to change back the screen resolution manually (go to the system settings and change resolution). On the macbook pros, however, the desktop restores themselves as soon as the projector is disconnected. It seems to me that this should be the standard behaviour of all macs, does anyone know why it is not working on the Airs?
    Best regards
    Erik

    Hi Erik,
    I had this problem on a MacBook and resolved it by recreating some plist files.
    ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.windowserver.xxxxxxxxxxxx.plist
    ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.preference.displays.xxxxxxxxx.plist
    The xxxx's are your machine's EthernetID (MAC Address). I wouldn't delete, rather just move them to your Desktop and restart the computer. See if that resolves it.

  • 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.

  • ILife '04 without 1024x768 iBook screen resolution

    Hi all,
    I recently upgraded my desktop system to the iMac G5, and with that being said, I have some of my purchased software for the eMac left over.
    So after restoring said eMac to factory defaults (thus returning me to a zero count status for single-use software licensing agreements), I thought about installing iLife '04 onto my iBook. (366 MHz graphite, no FireWire - see specs below)
    (installation from the CD, not the DVD)
    Only problem is that the original clamshells (tangerine, blueberry, graphite) only support a resolution of up to 800x600.
    Has anyone installed iLife '04 on a clamshell iBook having this lower-than-minimum resolution? If so, what are the implications of such?
    (not counting the elimination of the iDVD and GarageBand apps)
    Just wondering - thanks!
    Steve
    eMac G4 800 MHz, 512 MB RAM   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   iBook G3 366 MHz (clamshell), 576 MB RAM, Mac OS X 10.3.9

    There is a workaround: When you click on the iLife install package (only for selecting, not starting the application)
    And then go to the finder menu and look for "show original" (I don't know the exact words because I have a german OS X)
    Then you will get a bunch of install packages for iDVD, iMovie, Garageband, iPhoto.
    iPhoto will work for sure, but at first startup it complains about the screen resolution, you can ignore it.
    You can install even Garageband, it plays simple songs with a few instruments flawlessly. I've tested it out with a USB keyboard as well.
    There is a iMovie 3 hack for running this programm too:

  • My iphone 4S screen keeps freezing after the iOS6 upgrade. Can I roll back

    Can't stand these glitches anymore. Browsing on my iphone has now become irritating to say the least. Sometimes when I an typing, there is a lagged response. Its such a turn-off!

    No, you can't roll back. But you can probably fix the issue you are having with iOS 6 with a little searching the forum and support articles.
