Why does my 1080p display look smaller in bootcamp?

When using bootcamp with Windows 7: My 1080p output is shrunk as if it has the wrong overscan settings. I am using a direct HDMI cable and the display works just fine when using OSX Lion.
I tried updating the AMD Catalyst software directly and there is no change. In fact: it's as if the catalyst didn't even install. I can't find the control panel anywhere.
It's not the monitor, I tried all the auto adjustment stuff. Plus, again, it works in OSX
It's not a cable. I tried switching them.
Other computers display correctly to the monitor (Acer, 1080p)
What the heck is going on?

Old thread but since this is still a problem I'll go ahead and use it for my solution tip!
After installing windows 7 ultimate using boot camp on my mid 2011 MacMini I had the problem with black borders all around the screen on my 24" 1080p Benq monitor.
I tried several times to download / install a more recent version of the driver for the graphics card, as well as a separate installation of the Catalyst Control Center (CCC), whitout any luck.
When I got CCC installed it just would not open.
I then came across a solution on; http://forum.beyond3d.com/showthread.php?t=62100 (scroll to post #24)
1: Using regedit, go the following path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\video{####....}\0000
2: Look for the 0000-folder containing the most ATI related content
3: Create a new DWORD and name it "DigitalHDTVDefaultUnderscan", set it's value to "0"
4: Reboot
- Done!
I later uninstalled CCC since I hade no use for it and the fix was still good - so no need for CCC.

Why does my RAW image look grainy when I export it in to Photoshop CC from Lightroom for editing?

Why does my RAW image look grainy when I export it in to Photoshop CC from Lightroom for editing?
Checked LR's setting for Ps export and they haven't changed since it was OK a few days ago? It is OK if you zoom in but in 'fit page' it looks terrible!

I have exactly the same problem and it has got worse today as the photos also now open in smaller windows for some reason

Why does my iMac display go off when I am starting up or waking up my machine from sleep..

Why does my iMac display go off when I am starting up or waking up my machine from sleep..?
When my iMac goes to sleep I then later try to click the magic track pad or keyboard and it will usually then show the initial password entry login screen and then go off. The machine is still on but the display is black and will sometimes flash up the screen again if I press the magic track pad or keyboard but will then black out again..

Well, there are many different reasons why it does this. It might shut off due to power voltage problems, system overheats, or there is a System Problem. The reason it might be hard to boot up is because your power button might not work properly or your system hard drive is damaged.

Why does my computer display a spring coloured wheel that stops me from doing anything

Why does my computer display a spinning coloured wheel that stops me from doing anything, the only way to get rid is to switch off and reload...

These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the BOOT_TIME log message that corresponds to the last boot time when you had the problem. Now clear the search box to reveal all messages. Select the ones logged before the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
For example, if the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down for three minutes before you forced a restart, post the messages timestamped within three minutes before the boot time, not after. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract—not at the beginning.
If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". A shutdown stall report has a name that ends in ".shutdownstall". Select the most recent of each, if any. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. It's possible that none of these reports exists.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Why does my iMac display keep shutting off? Computer still running in the background. I've tried unplugging and restarting, to no avail. The computer is well out of warranty - about 7-8 years old, running 10.6.8

Checked.... the settings had not been inadvertently changed, but I did move the scroll and reset them back to the original. Hasn't shut off again.... yet. Will re-post with follow-up one way or the other. Thanks.

Filedown has a nasty reputation in English-speaking countries - plenty of antivirus/antimalware apps block everything there by default, which is what Peter has done. It doesn't mean that your link is malicious, only that it's hosted somewhere that has been used to host malware in the past.
I'm pretty sure, Peter, that there aren't any nonbreaking spaces there, because I'd wager that there aren't any spaces there at all. It's justified text, and the reasons why it will or will not break are sometimes obscure when using composers that aren't the J composer. Chinese text is usually entirely free of spaces, except in certain circumstances, usually involving European language inserted into Chinese text. Sometimes, for reasons I don't understand, InDesign will simply treat Chinese as if it were English, and only break at spots permissible in Euro languages. That's not the case here - it obviously breaks between two Chinese glyphs, so something else is up here.
Which version of InDesign are you using? Are you keying the text directly into InDesign, or are you placing, or copying/pasting?
If you're using an English version of InDesign, I would suggest trying to save your Chinese text as raw text or RTF and File -> Place that. If you choose RTF, try to mark it with Chinese language in your RTF editor (Word?) if possible.
Is No Break applied anywhere in your text? You can check in the Story editor (Control/Command Y) to see what styles and formatting are applied.

Why does lightroom not display photos ?

Hello,
all of a sudden lightroom tells me "no photo selected " when I try to open a folder.All the folders are visible but the photos cannot be displayed.I am using lightroom 4.1
The last editing was done less then 12 hours ago without any problems.
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thank you very much,
1journey

Thank you so much for your reply.I solved the problem after fretting over it for some time. A filter was not turned off and once I turned it off all was well. Live and learn.
Thank you kindly ,

Why does my terminal prompt look like this?

Today I noticed that my Terminal prompt now looks like this:
*pranaymishra:~ tbarth$*
Any idea how that happened? There's nothing in the .profile that does this.
-Travis

The computer name is 'Travis', and always has been.
Hmmm...
Further investigating shows a computer by that name on the network with a different IP address. The DHCP server shows my IP address as associated with my computer name, 'Travis'.
So could this be an OS X network error where it's picking up the computer name from something like WINS or DNS and not updating it if the IP lease changes? And if so, why does it not simply use the given name specified by the user instead?
As far as the network is concerned, my computer name is 'Travis', as it should be.
-Travis
EDIT: BTW, 'Use dynamic global host name' is not enabled.

Why does Firefox not display symbols and diacritic marks correctly in html pages

I reset my profile because of a problem displaying a particular web page.
I am now using the reset profile. Using this profile Firefox does NOT correctly display symbols and diacritic marks in my html pages. Such pages were correctly displayed in my old profile. They are pages containing text in French and Spanish.
Examples: é «
Why aren't the symbols and marks displaying correctly in a brand new profile when they displayed correctly in my old profile.

Why does new 5s screen look like the old 4?

We just bought and backed up two new 5s replacing iphone 4. Why does one new 5s screen look like the old 4 iphone. One phone shows new version, one is still old. I have downloaded and backed up twice, same thing happens. Used icloud to backup.

Sure, here's two photos, LP5 is the old screen style, NP5 is the correct screen. Note the differences?

Why does my Mac Mini look different on different displays

I have 3 HDTVs, 2 Samsung 40" LCD 1080p and a 50" Insignia Plasma 1080p. I have my 2009 Mac mini connected to my Samsung LN40a530 the picture quality is amazing, pictures are beautiful, text is extremely clear and colors look real and vivid. But as soon as I try connecting my Mac mini to my other television sets, the overall picture quality is very noticeably poor in comparison to the Samsung LN40a530. At first I had just the Samsung LN40a530 and the Insignia plamsa. I had figured the issue was the fact that one is LCD and one is plasma but I recently purchaced a Samsung LN40c550 LCD 1080p LCD and the same problem persisted. The colors are off for instance people look dark and orange, the text is blochy, the overall picture is just not very good. I have tried several times to adjust the settings on the Mac and the televisions with no luck. I find this very strange since both Samsung televisions are essentially the same tv. It's understandable with one being plasma and one being LCD but when the LCD and the plasma are having essentially the same issue it's very confusing. If anyone has had the same issue when switching monitors or televisions with a Mac mini any help would he great. Thanks

There is really only one setting on the Mac that can have such a dramatic affect. That would be the gamma setting. You get to the gamma setting when running through a color calibration on the Mac. You can check and see if gamma is the same when connected with the different TVs. Mac's typically default to 2.2 for computer displays but a setting of 1.8 is often needed for TVs, so that's worth looking into.
Outside of that setting, your attention should shift to the TVs. On you two Samsungs, do they have very similar menu arrangements? If so, try sitting down with a pencil and paper and write down all the settings for the good Samsung and then apply them to the bad one. I would think that would bring them very close into alignment for image quality.
Are all the TVs in question being hooked up the same way using the same cable and adapter? You didn't really say anything about how they are hooked up.

Why does my Illustrator logo look ragged/pixelated when I import into ID?

I have designed a logo in Illustrator, and when I place it into my ID document, it looks all ragged. When I use the magnifier tool to get a better look, sure enough, it is all pixelated and ragged.
Does anyone know why this is so? Thanks!

The default image preview is a low-res proxy. View > Dispaly Performance > High Quality Display should fix it. You can set this as the default in the prefs.
