Screen resolution too large on HP Pavilion dv6608ca after Windows 7 Update

Hi, I've recently updated my HP Pavilion dv6608ca from Vista to Windows 7 64 bit, and all of a sudden the screen resolution is just too big even after I adjust it in the display. I've searched high and low here and elsewhere but can't seem to find the correct driver.
Can someone please help?
Thanks in advance.

  • Blue screen: HP Pavilion dv6 after Windows update on Aug 1.

    Last year or so, I had this blue screen issue with my dv6 laptop and was solved by uninstalling KB2670838.And things have been very peaceful since then, but the blue screen re-occured recently after windows update last week.The updates were suggested by HP Support agent installed in and was for getting ready for Windows 10 installation.But my pc gets blue in every 3 min now, so I un-installed all updated job occured last week as temporal solution. Though I wish to be ready for Windows 10 installation, I need to have operable PC for my work.(This is Win7 sp1, home eddition) It would be great if anyone could assist me on this. Thank you, Piko.      

    I have this problem. It happens without any warning. 
    I don't know the reason. Please help me.

  • Elements 12 screen opens too large

    Elements 12 screen opens too large to grab lower right hand corner to reduce!  How do I fix this?

    Are you on a Mac? Change the screen display resolution (you may need to do this several times) switching back to normal resolution between each change. Eventually the display problem should resolve itself and the PSE window fit within your normal screen display size.

  • I too get the report of Failiure configuring Windows updates....

    I too get the report of Failiure configuring Windows updates, however, when it restarts and I go into safe mode with networking, it indicates the same message and restarts on it own......PLEASE HELP! I don't have the luxury of being able to access my Windows,
    it won't even go to password!

    Hi,
    Please press and hold the F8 key* early in the system boot process. Then select the
    Repair your computer option from the boot menu that appears.
    If Windows RE is not installed or is unable to boot from the internal drive, access it as follows:
    Insert your installation media -> Press a key when the Press any key to boot from CD or DVD message appears
    -> You will be prompted to select a Language to install, Time and currency format, and Keyboard or input method.  Configure each of these settings and then click Next. -> Click the Repair your computer option
    Then, choose System Restore to fix this issue.

  • I have installed yosemite yesterday and photoshop elements 12 doens't work anymore: it opens, I can change doc size but no more... also screen size too large

    Yesterday I have updated my mac with Yosemite since I try to work on PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12 but I cannot go further than opening documents and changing size. Screen is also too large but with Yosemite no mean to adapt it with the screen menu...
    How can I recover the photoshop tools?

    Unfortunately there is no option in PSE to vhange the UI fonts (other than switching to System Font' in preferences. So traditionally changing the Windows display font size has been the only workaround, and even that can cause problems with individual menus disappearing and being replaced with a hard to spot  >> drop-down menu.
    If you have a dual-display system you could have the menus on the lower resolution screen with images on the hi-res.

  • Accidental​ly set my screen resolution too high

    I was playing around with screen resolutions and accidentally set one too high and now every time i load up my Computer, it says 'Input not supported' , please help me.

    It would help greatly if you:
    A) Identified the installed operating system
    B) Identified your HP desktop PC. (look on the service tag. Post the complete  p/n
    If your OS is Windows 7, start the operating system in Safe Mode. Press the power button and before Windows begins to boot, start tapping the F8 key. Choose Safe Mode.  In Safe Mode click on the start button and type  msconfig in the search all programs and files box . Click on the msconfig icon that appears above to invoke msconfig. In the msconfig dialog choose the Boot tab as in the following image. In Boot options put a tick inside the box to the left of base video, then click on apply and OK. Restart your PC and  right-click an unused area on the desktop and set your resolution. Choose the recommended resolution.  After you do that, go back to the msconfig and remove the tick mark in the Boot options -->Base video, click on OK and restart your PC. All should be back to normal again.
    The desktop I am using has a dual display setup, so yours will appear a bit differently. the operatng system will recommend an optimal resolution and designate it as recommended.

  • Screen resolution too high - text is tiny - how to change?

    I'm a newbie to Audition, and spent 2.5 hours this weekend editing a 6.5 minute talk. Ended up with a massive headache, largely because of the small size of the text in the screen menues, etc.
    Anyone know how to change these? I Use a MS Surface 3 pro with very high resolution (21160*1440)  with a 22" screen set at 1680 *1050 (max for the screen) .
    Any help would be greatly appreciated...
    Pounding head...
    Mike Bland

    You don't mention which version of Audition you are using, but support for High DPI displays was added to Audition and other Adobe applications last year.  This adds support for icon and text scaling, which is configured at the OS level.  Found a good overview and write-up about this at How to Make the Windows Desktop Work Well on High-DPI Displays and Fix Blurry Fonts but the quick-and-dirty method is to right-click on your Windows desktop and choose Screen Resolution then click on the item Make text and other items larger or smaller.  There, you can select scaling at 125% and 150%.  You'll probably need to log back into your Windows account for the change to take effect.

  • 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.
    How to Create a PXE-Initiated Windows 8 Deployment for UEFI-Based or BIOS-Based Computers in Configuration Manager
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj938037.aspx
    Especially for “Pre-Deployment Considerations”
    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.

  • Screen resolution problem in Microsoft Test Manager by Testing Windows Store Apps

    Hi,
    we are trying to perform tests of Windows Store Apps in a remote device (tablet), so as it is explained in:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh405417.aspx
    However, when we take a screenshot or we record a video, it is only shown a little part of the screen, because PC and Tablet screen resolutions are different.
    How could we solve this problem? Any idea?
    Thanks.

  • HP Pavilion dv6 1334us won't start after windows update, stuck in Error Recovery

    My computer is an HP Pavilion dv6 1334us with 32bit-windows 7. The computer did automatic updates and when it started up said there was another one avaliable through WIndows Updater. I installed the update and it said the computer needed to restart for the update to take effect. I choose to restart and the computer wouldn't boot back up, it boots to the 'Windows Error Recovery' screen where my options are 'Launch Startup Repair (recommended)' and 'Start Windows Normally'. When I select the repair, it says it loads windows files, then goes back to the error recovery screen. When I choose to start normally, it freezes the second it trys to start, flashes a blue screen and then returns to the Error Recovery page again.

So last weekend did another windows update, restarts itself, annnnnd nothin... Screen doesn't work. Run Norton, nothing. Download and run AVG (multiple times), and nothin... SO! I'm at square one...

  • I have a iq 804 and tried to upgrade to win 8, but the screen goes black after windows update.

    i have been working with microsoft support for 5 hours everyday for the last 5 days. they could not help, now they ask to wait for hp to come out with new drivers to support win 8.any idea if they are going to add those since my computer is 3 years old

    Here are the specs for your HP TouchSmart IQ804 Desktop Computer. According to the specs, this model shipped with Windows Vista 64-bit and was introduced for sale on or about 27-Aug-2008... making it almost 5 years old. Due to its age, HP has no intention of providing specific support or drivers for this model. Please read HP's position below.
    THIS is HP's position on Windows 8 support and any HP computer not originally supplied with Windows 8;
    1) Not all Windows 8 features may be available on all PCs.
    2) Your particular experience with Windows 8 will be determined by the capabilities of your PC.
    3) HP is providing upgrade instructions and drivers will be available for most Windows 7 systems sold after 1st October 2011.
    4) If you want to restore the original operating system after upgrading, you must create HP recovery media before you upgrade.
    5) Please note that if you purchased your system prior to October 1, 2011, HP has not tested these PCs or developed Windows 8 upgrade instructions or drivers for them. Upgrading such systems may be difficult or impossible.
    and
    Important information regarding additional limitations and requirements;
    1) Screen Resolution Requirements
    2) Limitations with DVD playback software
    3) Limitations with Blu-ray playback software
    4) Limitations with TV Tuner software
    5) Secure Boot & other UEFI dependent features
    6) Limitations with touch screen capabilities
    "Windows 7 (also includes Windows Vista) PCs with touch screens will not have full Windows 8 touch capabilities after upgrade. HP PCs with touch input hardware designed for Windows 7 will provide a comparable experience for only two touch point applications after the upgrade to Windows 8. HP Windows PCs with touch input hardware will not support Windows 8 applications that require more than two simultaneous touch points. Additionally, Windows 8 edge swipes may not be available due to the recessed bezel on HP touch systems shipped with Windows 7."
    7) HP TouchSmart Magic Canvas and HP TouchSmart applications are not compatible with Windows 8 and must be uninstalled before upgrading. Note that content created using the TouchSmart applications such as Graphitti will not be available after upgrading.
    With all of that said, you may be able to install Windows 8 and it may work but many of its features may no longer function under Windows 8. 
    Please send KUDOs

  • HP Pavilion 15-n268sa will not boot after windows update (windows 8.1)

    After a series of windows update (windows 8.1) my HP Pavilion 15-n268sa will not boot up, no fan noises, no lights no nothing. 
    I have tried a "hard reset" a number of times with no success. 
    When the battery is present the white LED flashes 3 times when the power button is pressed. 
    Please please help. 

    Hello Cuffy,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you notebook will not boot after a series of Windows updates.
    Can you tell me if you are able to access the HP Recovery Manager by repeatedly tapping the F11 key while the notebook turns on? If you can access this, try doing a system restore to before you installed the updates. If not I would suggest you go through this document: Computer Does Not Start and the LEDs Blink or the Computer Beeps.
    If it's the Caps Lock light that is blinking this document will tell you exactly what the error is (spoiler: 3 beeps is a memory failure). This could also explain the failed updates. The updates are stored in the RAM before being applied to the operating system.
    You can try reseating the RAM, or using only 1 of the RAM cards, as you have 2x4GB cards. If it still doesn't work with 1 card, try the other card to confirm it has failed.
    You can replace defective cards via HP Phone Support if covered under warranty or at the HP Part Store if not covered. You can contact HP Technical Support at 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here.

  • Changes in screen brightness after Windows update

    I recently purchased my Lenovo IdeaPad P500. The screen was fine until an automatice Windows update occurreced. Now it is hard to see the screen because it has darkened. No matter what I try I cannot get it to brighten up and it is hard to view in well lit rooms. What can I do to correct the problem. I have tried all of the googled suggested out there with no success.  Please HELP!!!

    I don't see where to turn off the auto brightness feature in Win 8.1 on P500 Ideapad.
    But I think this laptop has other problems; the screen remains very dim even while booting up.
    Help!

  • Pavilion dv7 4050ed - Windows Update Problems After First Installation

    I have only just today received my brand new HP Pavilion dv7 4050ed and commenced installation straight away.  There were no problems in the initial installation and I booted Windows for the first time successfully and let it do its auto installs for things like Java and Adobe Reader.  I then moved to update and patch the laptop with Windows Update but immediately noticed that something was wrong.  Upon opening Windows Update I was met with a white cross in a red shield to signify an error.  When I prompted it to "Check for Updates" I was met with an error message stating, "Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running.  You may need to restart your computer."  I get the same error message when I try to run Windows Live Messenger.
    After multiple restarts and checking in the control panel that the update service was allowed and working, the error message still appears whenever I try to update or patch my machine.  How can this kind of thing happen to a brand new machine that I've had for less than a day and has only had its basic settings chosen?  It simply will not update, or even recognize that the update service is available.  The internet is fully functional so it isn't any kind of connection problem.
    Has anyone got any ideas as to what the problem could be?
    I probably should just add that the laptop is a Dutch purchase with a bilingual setup.  I chose the English setup option but was advised to include this information in case it could in any way affect the update system.

    HP support provided me with the following link:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02219204&cc=nl&lc=en&dlc=en&product=4213233
    On this page there's a download called sp47845. After installing this, everything was working again.
