T60 upgrade to Vista, screen resolution stinks

Hi, I just upgraded my T60 (2007-48U) to Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 from XP (SP2). I then installed the Lenovo System Updater and downloaded over 571 mb of updates. I can't get any better than 1024X768 resolution (it was >1280 in XP). Thoughts?

The native resolution of your LCD is XGA (1024x768) according to Lenovo, so Vista made no difference there...

  • How to increase screen resolution in Vista under boot camp?

    I have installed Vista Home Premium under boot camp (OS X 10.5.7) but in preferences I can only get the maximum of 1280x960 while my screen resolution on SyncMaster P2250 in OS X is 1920x1080.
    (I am using new Mac mini with NVIDIA GeForce 9400).
    I have inserted Leopard disc in Vista and installed boot camp but still I can't make the resolution higher.

    OK everything works fine! The problem was that after installation of Vista I was inserting old Leopard disc that I bought a year ago instead of inserting the Mac OS X installation disc that I got with new Mac mnini.
    When I put the Mac OS X that was toghether with new Mac mini it installed missing driver and everything started working

  • 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.

  • Lost Screen resolution on upgrade

    After upgrading my mini I lost the 1200x1920 screen resolution on my NEC 2690-The mini only shows support up to 720P-strange problem, anyone have an idea?

    Two things to check.
    Re: page 10 of the 2690WUxi2 manual
    "Note: For the Mac with digital output: Before turning on the Mac, the DVI Input mode must be set to DIGITAL. In "DVI Selection" menu of OSD by pressing "SELECT: button the "CONTROL" button when the DVI signal cable is connected to the DVI-I connector (DVI-I) of the monitor. Otherwise the Mac may not turn on."
    On page 11 of the 2690WUxi2 manual
    OSD Menu re: "EDID Extension (Digital Input Only)." Make sure you have it set to NORMAL. If its set to ENHANCED (which is used for attaching a DVD player etc) then you may have problems

  • Upgraded to Windows 10 and now I can't see my two HP w1907 monitors or change the screen resolution

    I just upgraded my computer from Windows 7 Professional to Windows 10 Professional. Before the upgrade, I had two monitors. Since the upgrade completed, I no longer have two monitors. I need to figure out how to get two monitors back, as well as how to get the correct drivers for my two HP w1907 monitors installed, so that my system recognizes that I have two monitors. I also need to be able to reset the screen resolution to what I had before (in Windows 7).

  • Screen resolution in Vista Ultimate in Boot camp cant' select HD

    I am using a new imac 24" and can only seem to increase the screen resolution to 1600 x1200.
    Shouldn't I be able to select HD 1080 x 1900

    Best I can think of if your iMac has Nvidia chipset...
    Download graphic driver directly from Nvidia.
    Uninstall and delete the Apple driver.
    Boot into Safe Mode and run "Driver Sweeper" (found on Guru3D along with instructions).

  • Q5 drastic increase in screen resolution after OS upgrade

    So:
    I updated the Q5's OS software to version10.3.1.1865 and after that the screen resolution has increased so much that the icons seem much smaller and my eyes hurt.
    One of the closest solutions I found on here was from a post that complained about everything getting too big.  The solution to that was to access Accessibility in the settings and disable the screen magnification.
    I enabled it and everything became bigger but it did not solve the high resolution.
    Is there any way to turn it down or even download the old OS version?
    Thank you

    You can reinstall the old OS but unless you have a backup from the previous OS you won't be able to restore a backup from this OS to the old one.

  • Bluetooth not working after upgrading to Vista

    Hi All,
    I called tech support and they pretty much informed me that I'm s.o.l. so I thought I'd turn here.  I'm running a T60 (model 8744).  I was running Win XP and getting blue screened to death.  So I upgraded to Vista Business.  I now have everything re-installed and working...except for Bluetooth.  Lenovo support says there aren't any Vista drivers for Bluetooth on this model.  IS THAT RIGHT?  At this point I'm pretty shocked.  I figured by now they would have completed a Vista driver pack for this laptop considering it's a couple years old now.  Anyone have any suggestions on other drivers that I can use successfully?

    It seems that the mouse has still stored the pairing information (normally it should loose it if the battery was removed).
    The mouse tries to connect to the last connection, but the other side (PC) has not the information anymore.
    Could you try to pair the mouse with any other PC or notebook before you try to pair it with your notebook again ?
    Furthermore increase the security for this test by enabling the following option:
    Right click Bluetooth system tray icon > Options > Security > Custom Level > Mode: Link level enforced security

  • 3000/N100 Mouse/Screen Resolution Problems with Windows 7

    This is my first post and I appreciate your service.  My problem is that after I upgraded from Vista to Windows 7, I find that my touchpad mouse will freeze up & the screen resolution will changes occasionally when I boot up my computer.  When this happens, I have to restart my computer and hope that the mouse works and screen resolution is correct.  If it does work, it will continue to work until I turn off or restart the computer, then I cross my fingers again.  All my drivers are updated.  If the touchpad mouse is frozen, I can get my usb mouse to work, but I don't want to have to do that.  Has anyone else had this problem, or can anyone offer suggestions? 
    I never had this problem until I upgraded to Windows 7.
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike

    I am using the Win 7 Enterprise 32 bit trial version.
    It is the FULL version, NOT an upgrade.
    If you used Upgrade, that may be a clue?

  • T60 upgrade from XGA to SXGA+

    Hi I 'm looking for help on the steps in a T60 upgrade from XGA to SXGA+. My laptop is a T60 type 2007-BH5 with an XGA 1024x768 screen and I know that I need to get another high resolution LCD screen and cable to suit (that includes bluetooth) but I'm unsure if my motherboard's graphics will be compatible with the new resolution. Any ideas on how I can be 100% sure that all is OK before I order the parts?

    Welcome to the forum!
    You actually just need the LCD itself, the cable is shared in T60 series regardless of resolution. As long as you get a proper screen (with a FRU number compatible with T6x series) you'll be fine.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,

  • Satellite A500 - Upgrading from Vista to Windows 7 error

    I'm trying to upgrade my Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Home Premium via the Toshiba Upgrade Assistance so it will automatically download some Toshiba's utilites and software. At the start of launching it, an error message "This model does not support upgrade to Windows 7" at the 'Download Window 7 Component List' step and can't continue. I'm confused as this as the Win7 Upgrade disc that I purchased and recieved at the start of the year from Toshiba website. I have a Satellite A500 that i've purchased late last year. It's not an old model and I believe it was able to upgrade to window 7.
    I had managed to do a clean installation once a while back but realised all the Toshiba's things weren't there no more so then I recovered it back to Vista (but instead of the initial 32bit, I've changed it to 64bit). So now it's operating on a 64bit Vista.
    I'm not sure if changing it from 32bit to 64bit has anything to do with it or if there's something I need to install before I upgrade....I followed the steps on the Toshiba website to upgrade but stuck at this step. I'm not good with computers so much help would be greatly appreciated and Thanks in advance.

    As far as I know with this upgrade kit you can upgrade 32bit and also 64bit system so this is definitely not the problem.
    Toshiba upgrade kit has two medias. Upgrade DVD and so called composite disc that contains drivers and Toshiba tools and utilities. Upgrade must be started with this composite disc and not directly with upgrade DVD.
    Please start upgrade with software disc and just follow the menu on the screen. It will scan the system and offer the list which software must be removed from the system before upgrade installation can be started.

  • Itunes 11 keeps changing my screen resolution

    I too am an itunes 11 sufferer!    Everytime I run it, it alters my screen resolution - I'd happily upgrade to the older, better, bug-free version that I was running before,but am afraid i might lose my library of music. 
    In trying to find a solution online i can't believe the number of issues with Itunes 11 that have cropped up. Does Apple really despise its customers so much  and hold them in such low regard that they could bring out such a flawed piece of software?
    Does anyone have a solution to having to reset the screen resolution everytime I use iTunes?
    Thanks,

    There isn't a way to increase the width of the iTunes window
    You can resize any window by grabbing (click-hold) the three little lines in the bottom right corner and move it up or down, right or left.
    Is this what you mean?
    BTW... the resolution of 1280 x 800 is what you would normally set your screen to.

  • 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

  • Xorg 1.6, nvidia and screen resolutions

    I just upgraded to xorg 1.6 from testing, including the nvidia drivers and kernel from testing.  Everything is working great (and it fixed the libxi keyboard layout problems I was having), except that I can no longer select the screen resolution I want from the nvidia-settings application.  The set of resolutions is very limited and I'm getting a horizontal stretch due to an incorrect aspect ratio.
    I've tried manually adjusting the xorg.conf file after saving it in nvidia-settings, but it makes a mess of the file and I couldn't get it working.  Does anybody know how to add screen resolutions into the nvidia-settings application?
    Thank you!
    Darin

    Happened to me with most recent 1.5 update, I downgraded back to previous one to get working again. And now same happened with 1.6, this time I downgrade again without any further testing until someone else gets it solved
