Windows XP Pro Desktop - Screen Resolution and Color Quality

When synchronizing my Zire after many successful and no problems the XP Pro screen resolution reverted to the lowest profile.
I can reset the resolution to the True color 1024 x 768 but after a minute or two it reverts again.
1. Reinstalled driver for Intel video on Compaq D510C motherboard and get same problems as well as corrupted looking graphics on screen.
2. Switched to a known good monitor and same problems (which I did not think was the problem but did to verify).
3. Installed new gForce5200fx graphics card and video still reverts and is corrupted looking even when in higher reset resolution.
4. Created new user to see if user profile was corrupted and still reverts and is corrupted looking even when in higher reset resolution.
Any suggestions?????

I also flashed the bios

Windows XP Pro Desktop - Screen Resolution and Color Quality - After Palm 6.2 Installation for Palm TX

Recently upgraded my Palm software to 6.2. for my TX. Now when I sync to Outlook, my windows desktop reverts to lower quality screen resolution (640 x 480 pixels) and lower color quality (8 bit).
I then make the necessary display changes for my windows desktop back to higher quality screen resolution (1280 x 800 pixels) and highest color quality (32 bit). Everything is fine until I sync again or shut down the computer and restart, causing the windows desktop to revert back to the lower quality screen.
Any thoughts on possible solutions to this annoying problem.
Thank you

Hello!
First thing to do is to update the display driver for your computer. Also make sure to use 96 DPI for the DPI setting, using another setting can cause this issue too.

Windows Does Not Remember Screen Resolution after restart

Hi Everyone,
I have a strange problem with Windows 8.1 Pro
My screen resolution resets to 800 x 600 everytime i restart my PC, and I will have to set my resolution again everytime I start my PC.
Any idea?
Cheers
Nelson

Hi Nelson,
Please check the display adapters on Device Manager.
It may be caused by your graphics driver.
I suggest you reinstall the latest graphics driver to check the result.

My Macbook pro desktop screen is white.

My Macbook pro desktop screen is white. I had it hooked up to my TV and it went white. Everything works except the desktop is white. The launch pad works and the top menu.

Hi Maclover222,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you only see a white screen on your MacBook Pro, the steps in this article can help:

I'd recommend starting with these steps:
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.

Macbook Pro Retina Screen Resolution Issues

I have just bought a retina display Macbook Pro (Early 2013) with OS X 10.8.3 Mountain Lion.
Before getting it, I did not realize what an effect it would have on the use of my existing programs, and had I known, I would have thought twice before switching from my non-Retina Macbook Pro. I have never had so many problems with a brand new computer. On my retina screen, programs such as Microsoft Office 2011, Adobe Creative Suite 5 and Acrobat Pro X run with an awful screen resolution and impossibile legibility. The pixelated graphics and image quality hurt my eyes, beyond the fact that I cannot see my lines, images and text properly in order to work with them.
In these programs, the "Open in Low Resolution" button is enabled permanatly and cannot be changed as it's option is ghosted out. I do not know how to make it look better or what to do. I cannot work using this low resolution and this issue has affected my productivity.

My 13" Macbook Pro's screen resolution is messed up.

My 13" Macbook Pro's screen resolution is off. I restarted it yesterday and it has been bad since. For best quality I am having to put it on 1024 x 768 (not stretched) which the highest, but still not as good as original and not full screen. HELP PLEASE!

After about three restarts a new higher reolution option appeared (odd) and it is now fixed.

I want to do a clean install of Windows 7 Pro on my computer and my installation of Adobe Design Premium CS3 is not functioning. I cannot start it to get in and deactivate the Creative Suite installation.

I need help with deactivation.

if you're using the same computer hardware to reinstall your cs3, you don't need to deactivate first.
but if there's a significant hardware change you can ask adobe support for an activation count reset. contact adobe support by clicking here and, when available, click 'still need help', https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html

Check image resolution and color

Please let me know whether it is possible to get the image resolution and color used in a eps file.

You can specify the resolution for exporting, for document etc but resolution of the raster objects can not be retrieved.
Color space of the raster object can be retrieved using the rasterItems : colorants or imageColorSpace properties

Best screen resolution and output for CBT

What would be the best screen resolution and output mode IYO for a CBT (Computer Based Training) program? We would like to do either CD or online. We are toying with either, so which do you think would be a better option for what Captivate is capable of? Thanks!

Nclarkats,
While most of our employees have similar screen resolutions, a few have larger (or smaller) set ups and since we wish to avoid horizontal and vertical scroll bars; we publish with Captivate's 800 x 600 setting. This allows us to get a bit larger imagery in place.
Whatever you choose, try and pick something and stay consistent. This is beneficial in the event you have to transfer slides between modules.
Hope that helps.
Chuck

Anybody know what resolution and KBPS quality apple use in their SD movies?

I want to digitize some of my movies into the MP4 format so I can watch it on my apple tv.
this is mostly children tv (thomas tank engine and so on). problem with dvd's is that we need to change often and they get worn. children do change their mind very often.
so, a digitized version in my Apple tv would be nice.
I Use DVD FAB 5.
but when it comes to the kbps setting what should I choose?
I think that I can use the same setting as Apple them self. I bought walle movie and that was 1.1 GB and had very nice look.

They are generally encoded at 1500 Kbps for video and 128 Kbps for audio and a resolution of 640 x 480 depending on the aspect ratio.

If I drag the photo from aperture to the desktop, the resolution halves and the color space changes to adobe rgb.
If I drag from iphoto, nothing changes.
Why?

Yoga 2 Pro REAL Screen Resolution

SECOND THREAD on this HERE.
I've just discovered that the Yoga 2 Pro seems to be fudging its screen resolution claim. I wouldn't care, except ... it actually has become a small problem ... and one that I presume will get bigger over time
The Y2P has a "3200x1800" screen. It's beautiful. And in most regards its also overkill, since there's no such thing as 3200x1800 content, AND because it cause some issues with size of things on the screen. For this reason, and because pushing fewer pixels will tend to improve battery life, I run my Y2P at 1920x1080, or "normal full HD" resolution.
I recently tried to log into an on-line app I use, as was greeted with a strange error message:
Well, since I'm running 1920x1080 and using a current version of the Chrome browswer, none of that made sense. I tried Internet Explorer as well ... no luck.
I installed Speccy, a tool to check things out inside a computer, and when I got to the display settings, here's what I found:
That's right; I'm "set to 1920x1080", but something is seeing that the REAL resolution is 1280x720. Oh, and elsewhere in Speccy I found that the Y2P is reporting itself as a tablet rather than as a computer ... which probably isn't the issue here, but still unsettling.
So I changed the resolution to 3200x1800. Good news: I was able to get to the web app I need. BAD NEWS: The real resolution appears to be 1600x900:
I called Lnove tech support and got a representative who tells me that this is a Windows 8.1 problem; Windows 8.1 cannot support resolutions higher than 1920x1080, so even though the actual hardware resolution of the Y2P is 3200x1800, it needs to scale itself so Windows doesn't cry. This appears to be false (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2012/03/21/scaling-to-different-screens.aspx), but I don't really know.
As such, my conclusion is that the representative told me something that was actually the opposite of correct, with correct SEEMING to be that the maximum REAL resolution of the Y2P hardware is in fact 1600x900, with Lenovo's claim of a 3200x1800 resolution being a software/upscaling/interpolation trick.
If that's so, it's really distressing, because it would appear to be a lie about hardware capabilities.
I didn't start out caring about that, although obviously as this point I feel like I've uncovered a smoking gun and would like an answer from Lenovo. But at the end of the day, since I don't need or want that 3200x1800 for the reasons I explained at the top of this post, I just want to know the truth—whatever it is— and to know how to get Windows to report the same resolution to "the world" that it's reporting to me, the user.
And I guess I wouldn't mind knowing why the scaling between real and interpolation is different depending on the settings one selects, too (do the math).
Anyone know anything conclusive? And even better, anyone from Lenovo have an ideas what the truth is here?

I don't know if any of these settings (resolution and/or item sizing) affects battery duration. But you could do a battery test: set it to one mode with full battery charge and then leave it on unused until the battery is 50%. Check how long that took. Repeat for the other mode and compare the time difference if any.
As to why there are these two layers of settings I think this is the answer: Windows metro apps and some Windows desktop application and the new elements in Windows 8 (the new start screen, the charms bar and all metro apps) have smart scaling of user interface elements (text, buttons and so on) designed to support very high resolution screens like ours. So buttons and text in such programs will adapt in size to fit the resolution. But older desktop applications, including the Windows 8.1 desktop taskbar and its icons it seems, does not do such smart scaling. So running them full resolution mean that everything is really tiny. To work around that everything can be scaled up to 200% (or 150% or 125%). I suspect that future versions of Windows or some Windows update may improve these things since the settings and the button descriptions in the settings aren't very user friendly.
But I'm not sure about this. I hope someone in the know jumps in this thread and gives more details.
It is a pity that Lenovo doesn't provide new Yoga 2 Pro users with a user friendly guide with information and tips on good ways to deal with resolutions and these scaling settings.

IMac 24' (nvidia) - Screen res. and color problems

Hi all,
I just turned to Apple and OS X last week (former Windows and Linux user), and I bought myself a brand new 24' iMac (actually the most powerful configuration available).
But unfortunately my iMac does not work as expected. The screen resolution, even when turned to its maximum, is really poor. I cannot read characters and my eyes hurt after a few minutes. The color, even thought configured to Millions are more like 256 then 16 Millions...
By the way, the refresh rate button is not available
Any idea ? Should I return it to the Apple store ? Or, is there something I can do (such as installing drivers - as for Linux or Windows, or change something in the settings) ?
I am a brand new OS X user, so... thanks for your help and understanding.

Hello Plastik1994
Welcome to Apple Discussions
This simply fix should help your viewing pleasure.
Open the Display Preference:
1. Select the Display tab and make sure that the Resolution: is set to *1920 by 1200*
2. Select the Color tab and uncheck the box *"Show profiles for this display only"* and select one of the RGB or sRGB profiles.
To be honest I'm not sure why the iMac Calibrated profile looks so bad or why Apple tries to hides those other profiles from us. You can try setting Display Profile's experiment by eye, but to get it perfect you will need to calibrate using professional calibration tools.
