Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Performance and Maintainance / March 2008Resolution problem
Hi! I have a problem with resoution. Natively it is set to 1440 x 900, but somehow it changes itself to 1024 x 768. At first I thought that changing the resolution in display manager would help but then I found that there wasn't such a resolution to choose (!), but there had been before! So I restarted my laptop and the logon page was still in the smaller res but after logging in everything came back to normal. For a while, unfortunately! I don't know what I could do else? I have tried display manager, checking if there were any updates for my graphic card and recently updated windows. I'm running a toshiba laptop with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 card and windows vista home premium. Any advice will be priceless (i'm desperate). Cheers >I have a problem with resoution.

Any advice will be priceless (i'm desperate). Cheers First thing I'd try is to download the latest driver from the graphic adapter's manufacturer, in your case ATI, and install it. Hans-Georg  SignatureNo mail, please. Well, I tried that. All went smooth and everything seemed to be alright but as soon as the screensaver started to run the resolution decreased again. I suppose the driver is not a solution. However I can't think of anything else that could cause such a problem. I reckon that it is a windows based problem because it never happens when I don't let the screensaver to run. > >I have a problem with resoution.

Ah, that's something different. Is that the screen saver built into Windows? Or is a third-party screen saver installed? Have you tried to change the display parameters of the screen saver image? Not sure if that would help, but you could quickly try. Set it to stretched for a change. I have never heard of this problem before. Hans-Georg SignatureNo mail, please. It doesn't make any difference if I set a screen saver that was built into windows or one of a third-party. I have even tried one that came with the new driver. I haven't run any programs that decrease the resolution for their own purposes recently nor played games which demand such a decrease. I haven't heard of this kind of a problem either and I've been working on many different systems, various configurations etc. Usually my knowledge was enough to solve most problems... Alas, I'm helpless this time. I'll try to disable the screen saver for a while and see what will happen. If it doesn't work the only thing I could do is reinstall windows, I'm afraid :(. > >Well, I tried that.

If it doesn't >work the only thing I could do is reinstall windows, I'm afraid :(. Before you do that, try a repair installation. Please see http://winhlp.com/node/17#Repair_installation for details. It may or may not solve your problem, but if it worked, it would save you the effort of reinstalling all software. Hans-Georg SignatureNo mail, please. The screen saver has been disabled. But sadly it turns out it didn't solve the problem. Whenever sth disrupts windows, sth like hibernation, sleep mode etc. the resolution decreases again. I set windows not to hibernate when I close the laptop cover but it persists to influence the resolution. I have scanned the computer with an antivirus (norton), however it didn't help. Sth went wrong but I can't put a finger on it... The Vista I have is a preinstalled version. Nevertheless, I will consider xp. Hans, thank u for help:) Cheers > >It doesn't make any difference if I set a screen saver that was built into > >windows or one of a third-party.
