Windows Forum / Windows Me / General Topics / June 2004Startup screens resolution problem
Somehow, I changed the resolution of my 'Dell' splash screen on startup of my laptop from full screen to a 'small' resolution. The same has happended to my ME splash screen. I was hoping someone could let me know how to return it to both original sizes. I have tried restore but this did not work. Thanks in advance. > Somehow, I changed the resolution of my 'Dell' splash > screen on startup of my laptop from full screen to > a 'small' resolution.

This was right after enabling TV-Out, right ? That's what did it.... are you experiencing any problems ? Perhaps the latest video driverset or BIOS might give you your splash screens back in the right size... does it mention anything on Dell's site?

The splash screen might display on a TV in normal size (but not necessarily). As long as nothing else is wrong, I don't see the problem.
