W530 running Windows 7: can't use optimal resolution on Samsung S27A850DS monitor

Hello,
I use a Lenovo W530 laptop with the NVIDIA Quadro K1000M video
card running Windows 7. Recently, I got a Samsung S27A850DS monitor
with an optimal resolution of 2560 x 1440. However, the best
resolution for this monitor on my system is listed as 1920 x 1080.
Can someone explain this to me? The NVIDIA Quadro K1000M specs
(e.g. http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-Quadro-K1000M.76894.0.html)
assert that resolutions of up to 3840 x 2160 are supported. So where
is the problem? Is it a W530 limitation, or a Windows 7 limitation?
Regards,
bostjanv

How do you have the monitor connected?

Qosmio F30-112: Can not use 1366x768 resolution on external monitor

How to connect F30-122 to LE-32R73B and where to set up the display (Fn+F5 gives me a lot of options, bios, Nvidia settings)?
I tried VGA cable, but picture is poor. I can't use full resolution of LCD TV (1366x768), just 1024*768.
Any suggestions?

i Have the same problem and have done ever since i purchased this dam laptop. The laptop is awesome the softwarfor hd.dvd is awful. only way i can get my laptop to run @ the res of my tv which is 1366x768 is to use the latest version drivers from nvidia. problem is as you may or may not know no updates to laptop drivers are made by the card manerfacturs so you have to realy on 3rd party drivers or updates from the people who make your laptop. well found a site few months ago called http://www.laptopvideo2go.com they make modded inf files for the latest graphics drivers so that they will run on go type cards. just get latest driver and download the modded inf then copy that modded inf into the driver folder write over the exsisting one then run the drivers this will unlock the full power of your gpu and all of it's functions. it will def have the res you are looking for.
but there's a couple of issue's which may just be issue's my end. intervideo will not run hd-dvd discs with anything but the useless toshiba graphics driver update which is useless anyway as you cant run the res you need and also even the new toshiba hd player seems to have issue with anything newer than the toshiba graphics drivers. the drivers toshiba use are anceint and are good for nothing so i have contacted toshibas software team asking them to sort this issue because im sure this is not only a couple of people with this problem.
hopefully there will be an update in coming few weeks as this 2 me is a major issue as i cant use my windows media center or my hd-dvd drive because the current player software wont run with new drivers which i have to have to run my other programs i run on my laptop.

Can I use split screens on and extra monitor I have. I can get mirror image on both screens, but not a split screen. The monitor is 1600 x 900.

Can I use split screens on an extra monitor I have? I can get a mirror image on both screens, but not a split screen. The monitor is 1600 x 900 AOC 20inch monitor. Hope I haven't wasted my money buying this £69 monitor. My 13" Macbook Pro is a little small for my ageing eyes. Thanks

In the display settings on your computer uncheck "mirrored". This will put the displays in "extended" mode. In extended mode you can set the external display to its native resolution as well as drag windows from your computer to the external monitor. I assume that is what you mean when you say "split screen".

Unfortunately, no mechanism for this exists for Windows. If you had a Mac, you could get AirParrot...

You know, this is just a thought. I'm not sure the differences between the iq526 and iq770, but as I was looking around I found this article. I don't know if it'll help, but you might want to take a look. Evidently someone figured out how to use the HP touchsmart as an external monitor for his Dell laptop.

Need Working Drivers for Macbook 2,1 running Windows 8 (64-bit) using Boot Camp 5 (Mountain Lion)

So I found my old Macbook 2,1 on Leopard the other day and decided to make it my dedicated Windows computer. I wanted to run Windows 8 on it, so I figured out I needed Boot Camp 5. Then I realized Boot Camp 5 only runs on Mountain Lion, so I went though the process up updating it (had to use MLPostFactor since it's techincally unsupported on my mac.) After getting it updated to Mountain Lion, I went and used Boot Camp 5 to install Windows 8 64-bit. However, when I try to load any Boot Camp Driver Files (I've tried the drivers for BootCamp 3, 4, and 5) it says it is unsupported on my computer model. I suspect this is because of the fact that Windows 8 shouldn't be on my computer. Without these files, I can't right click, among other things, which is pretty important. Can anyone help me get these drivers loaded?

According to the Boot Camp System Requirements located here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634

Mini Mac running Windows 7 won't use more than 2GB of RAM.

I used Bootcamp (newest version) to install Windows 7 Ultimate on my partitioned hard drive on my Mac Mini. The computer ahs 8GB of RAM, but when I open the Task Manager in Windows, I can only see that 2BG of RAM is being used. How can I get it so that I can use all 8GB of RAM on Windows 7? Is there any possibility that I could do it without having to reinstall Windows?
All I would like to know is how I can get Windows 7 to use all 8GB of RAM. I did install the x86 version.
Thannk you.
Quick edit: I can see that the task manager sees that 8GB are installed, but it also says that there is 2GB total. The OS is only being run with the 2GB and not the 8 that are being detected.

Install the 64 bit version of Windows.

Windows\system32\QUARTZ.dll can't open in Windows. Can't use Premiere Elements.

I am looking for a way to get a solution to this error which keeps preventing me from opening my Premiere Elements 11 program. I have previously used the program without any problems. But last week I had a new HDD installed in my laptop (Dell Studio XPS 1640 running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit). Now I can't open Premiere Elements and can't edit my videos.
When I try to open the program, I get an error which reads:
Font Capture: Adobe Premiere Elements.exe - Bad Image
C:\Windows\system32\QUARTZ.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original instalation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support
My computer technician did use an image of my laptop to transfer everything onto the new HDD. I have no idea if that is relevant to this software problem.
I posted this question previously and was directed to a link which instructed me to update my DirectX and other graphics drivers. I did all that already. I still can't open Premiere Elements. I want to ask Adobe Support, but since they just launched Premiere Elements 12, I guess I no longer get direct support from Adobe? Not sure but that is how it seems to work. I will try any advice given to resolve this issue, if anyone has ideas.
Thanks!
Janeen

Did you try reinstalling as indicated by the error message? Transferring images is not a good way to install Adobe programs.

If I have my old hard drive from my windows laptop, can I use that as a partition?

i was wondering since i recently upgraded to a mac, if i could use my old hard drive from my windows laptop, with a usb connection, if i could use that as a windows partition for gaming and other things of that nature that are only support windows.

If you mean that you want to run Windows from a USB
drive, you can't. Windows itself can only boot from
internal drives. This is a limitation of Windows.

Firefox won't open, instead a pop-up says something like, "You already have one copy running. You can only use one copy at a time. ( It happens repeatedly (I am using a iMac 10.4.11)

I'm trying to open Firefox because, was told the FireFTP is great to use in getting my (completed on iWeb) Website up and running, but I can't even get Firefox to open up, no matter what I have tried. What is it I am doing wrong or missing?!.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I uninstalled it, closed FF in Safe-Mode, reopened it and, ta da!
THANK YOU!
