Screen resolution settings changing as soon as I connect a beamer

I do a lot of presentations and every time I connect a beamer (not my own, one that is in the hotel or conference room, so different models every time) my MBP screen settings go often haywire.
My screen resolution on the MBP (OS SL) is set at 1680x1050.
As said it does not hold as soon as I connect a beamer and at times the setting is not even available any more, at other times all of a sudden I have dozens more settings, etc. This is of course, to say the least, annoying, and sometimes I spend 10 or more minutes to get my screen to behave in a workable fashion.
Is there any trick to prevent this from happening?
Thanks.

anybody???

Preventing screen resolution settings changing when connecting a beamer

I do a lot of presentations and every time I connect a beamer (not my own, one that is in the hotel or conference room, so different models every time) my MBP screen settings go often haywire.
My screen resolution on the MBP 15' (OS SL) is set at 1680x1050 (high resolution screen).
As said it does not hold as soon as I connect a beamer and at times the setting is not even available any more, at other times all of a sudden I have dozens more settings, etc. This is of course, to say the least, annoying, and sometimes I spend 10 or more minutes to get my screen to behave in a workable fashion.
Result is that my resolution on my screen become unworkable as (mostly) it defaults to real big resolution (and as such big script) that makes lots of items on the top bar 'invisible' (they fall of the screen).
Is there any trick to prevent this from happening?
Thanks.

How is this remotely the same problem? The original poster is having resolution problems with projectors. You have an LCD tablet that isn't showing an image. This is thread hijacking, however much you don't want it to be. You need to go start your own topic for this.
Excuse you, it's the same problem because my Cintiq has a problem taking in the screen resolution, which is why I'm not getting it to display properly. I explained it before, so if you can't read it, then that's your problem, and not mine. Even if you think it's a different problem, you don't have to be so rude to me. I'm not hijacking the thread, I'm just saying that I think it's a OS issue, and I don't see the point in making another one if I'm going to get a response along the lines of how there's already another thread that's similar.
And now, I might add, you've officially completely derailed this conversation. Because instead of it being about the OP's problem, you've made it an attack on my character, which I consider an attempt to start drama. If you consider my post to be insignificant, then you could have just as easily ignored it. You've not only wasted my time for hoping someone would at least give me an answer, but you've wasted your own for hardly contributing to the conversation in a positive manner.
Get off your high horse.

Hi,
When you set your monitor to a screen resolution that it won't support, the screen will go black for a few seconds while the monitor reverts back to the original resolution.
Regarding screen resolution, we may follow the below two articles to change it:
Change your screen resolution
Getting the best display on your monitor
Follow the steps below:
1. Open Screen Resolution by clicking the Start button, clicking
Control Panel, and then, under Appearance and Personalization, clicking Adjust screen resolution.
2.Click the drop-down list next to Resolution. Check for the resolution marked (recommended). This is your LCD monitor's native resolution—usually the highest resolution your monitor can support.
And if the monitor is LCD monitor, The monitor's manufacturer or reseller should also be able to tell you the native resolution for your LCD monitor. Or we may check the monitor's manual to adjust.

I need a symbol to remain center screen on my web page no matter the screen resolution settings.

Im trying to create an animation with functions inside a symbol. I need the symbol settings to remain seprate from the other settings of other items on the page such as "stage" and "background image" which are set to % height.width,longitude,latitude . It is important that the symbol stays in the center of the screen. I also need this symbol to always remain in the center of the screen no matter screen resolution settings that are likly range from 1360x768 to 1920x1080.

Hi there,
I solved the problem. but by solving the problem with centering the symbol on the stage I created another one, a very strange problem.
Firstly the solving of centering problem:
I left all settings of the symbol by px, (means no responsive layout), set 0 px o for position, and wrote a css which then centered the symbol on the stage,
sym.$("products").css({
margin : 'auto',
position: 'relative'
here how does it look in edge:
The symbol products is behaving just as supposed. The problem I created and which I don#t understand at all: I created another symbol (news) made the very same adjustments, but the symbol is not positioned as supposed. (of course I change the name of symbol in css). What the heck???
Anyone any idea why this is happening?

Screen Resolution settings on T61P

Hi,
Has anyone adjusted the screen resolutions settings on their T61P from 1680X1050 to 1440X900, or even lower? If so, does everything still look crip and clear at 1440X900?
I have the need, as do others at work to be able to drop the resolution a bit for various reasons.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your tips..I run XP and it is not very clear if I lower the resolution to get a larger font I also do not have very good eyesight so this is a pain....on my old Dell laptop I could use the CTRL + scroll the mouse to enlarge the screen....on my T61 (no mouse) I do not know how to do the same thing...any other tips?
Thank you again...I am so Thinkpad illiterate!
Could use a Thinkpad for Dummies handbook!

Does Frequently Toggling Between Screen Resolution Settings Harm PowerBook?

Does Frequently Toggling Between Screen Resolution Settings Harm PowerBook?
Since the 12" screen real estate is both limited and sometimes difficult to see (email, etc.), I often toggle (6-12 x a day) between screen resolution settings on a 12" G4 PowerBook (1.5GHz, 768MB RAM). Can anyone please confirm whether or not this harms the video, screen, motherboard, etc., in anyway?
I'd hoped to avoid buying an 17" LCD monitor to address this concern, but would do so if this shortens the lifespan of the PowerBook in any way.
Thanks in advance for any technical expertise on this topic.

this will have zero impact on your computer (other than perhaps adding to the wear on your keyboard?)....

Try to set your scrollPane scroll bar policy.
scrollPane.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_NEVER)

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?

Screen color settings changes when certain software is launched.

Since today I noticed the screen color settings of my Macbook Pro 17" (beginning 2011 model — Running OSX 10.8.4) is changing when certain software is launched. In this case, Indesign CS6.0 gives a strange blue hue over my screen, but when I check my screen color settings, nothing has changed, everything is set the same as when I don't run the softwares that change my screen color settings. I don't recall changing any settings that could have triggered this action. I didn't change any settings in Indesign CS6.0. I do regularly use CleanMyMac 2 to clean out my computer, maybe this has changed some settings? How can I change this back to normal? Google didn't help me neither.

Ah right, don;t use laptops much and always forget about that one, good catch. Switching graphics cards would definitely have an effect.
Just remember with that unchecked you will decrease battery run time so you might want to switch it back on when you are not doing graphics and you are on battery.

How to get screen resolution settings

How do u get the present screen resolution from code?
thanks

The AWT Toolkit class has got a method called getScreenSize(), it returns an instance of Dimension.
I'm not sure what to do when you have multiple screens though; maybe the methods of the classes GraphicsEnvironment and GraphicsDevice can be used.

Authorware Screwing up my screen resolution settings

Was having problems with my macromedia flash and the website
said download this Authorware. Now everytime I click on my web
browser FireFox or on the downloaded authorware desktop install
icon it resizes my screen. I have gone back to the properties and
reset the screen size however it continues to resize it
everytime.I've tried to locate and remove this Authorware download,
but have had no luck finding it. Please help!!!

You were at this site:
http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&p romoid=BIOX
...and it asked you to install Authorware? Flash does not
require the
Authorware plugin. Or are you confusing the Authorware Web
Player with the
Flash player? They are not the same thing.
First, check to see if the Authorware Web Player plugin is,
in fact,
installed. In Firefox, type "about
lugins" (without the quotes) in the
Address bar. Look for Authorware Web Player. If you find it,
close Firefox,
and go to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins and delete
np32asw.dll.
Then go to C:\Documents and Settings\<your login
name>\Application
Data\Macromedia and delete the "Authorware Web Player"
directory. Then
restart Firefox and see what happens.
Your symptoms are so strange, I wonder if you didn't get to a
spoofed site
and have downloaded a virus or some other malware. If I were
you, I would
update my virus signature files and run a complete system
scan.

Windows Blue Screen Error Message Appears As Soon As IPod Connected

Everytime I connect my IPod to my computer, I get the Windows Blue Screen error message. Thought it was the cable, so plugged cable in by itself. No problem. Uninstalled IPod and ITunes software and then plugged in IPod, still got the Blue Screen. The Blue Screen says something about "recent plugged in device problem". It is not the cable, it must be the IPod. Did not have this problem when I bought it. Tried it on labtop and get the same error message. I can't do updater or anything that requires me to plug the IPod into a computer because the Blue Screen appears immediately. When I unplug, the Blue Screen remains and locks up the computer so I have to restart each time. I have tried everything I can think of. Please help.

Hi Mike thank you for replying,
I am not able to start the computer in safe mode, safe mode with networking, last good known configuration etc, Each time it quickly blue screens and restarts about two secs into the process.
I was unable to try a clean OS install from the disk as it gave the blue screen error shown in the original post. The same thing happened when I tried to use the repair option on the XP home disc. So i can't get into the computer at all to start diagnosing the fault, the only clue I have is the error message, and after searching the internet I haven't found much enlightenment from that yet.
If you can help me out or suggest where to search it would be much appreciated.
Thx
