Resolution problems.

Today I started my computer and I noticed the resolution was wrong. I went to the configuration panel to adjust it, but I could only choose 16:9 resolutions, while my screen is a 16:10. How can I get my old resolution (1440:900)back?

System specifications:
Windows Vista Home Premium
nVidia 8600 GT
acer AL1916W LCD Monitor

Ouch! Vista. Well, any updates done recently? If so, I wonder if they had any adverse effects. If not, what about re-installing your video driver and see if that fixes it?

Regards,

Ok, reinstalling the driver helped. But I'm still wondering why this happened...

unexplained things can happen when using vista...Microso ft's solution to fixing a problem is to pass the problem to something else, in this case your video card.

About a week ago, I upped my screen resolution from 800x600 to 1024x768. From that point on, I started making gradual adjustments to my web site, in which the margins are tailored to 800 pixels wide. Fonts seem too small! Is this a bad habit I'm getting into? By the way, what resolution are you at? -- ============================ - Dave http://members.cox.net/grundage/

I've read previous posts and know it is "bad form" to change a user's screen resolution to fit your program's needs. My situation is very different. I have a user with a laptop resolution of 1680x1050. When they dock the laptop, the external monitor connects and uses 1900x1200 resolution. They need a program to do the following: 1 - Detect the current screen resolution.

I've created an access program that's used by 5 people. Two of the individuals have lower screen resolutions that makes it difficult to utilize the program as written Is there any way to reset the resolution when the program opens and when set back upon exiting? It looks like there may be some freeware out there that provides a module that will do this. Anyone have any experience with these, or any other suggestions on how to solve...

I have created an asp.net app on my machine where the resolution is set to 1280 x 1024. When my users view the form on their screen, some of the controls display differently than on my screen. One solution I have is to use some javascript to determine the resolution of their screen and redirect them to a duplicate form suited better for their resolution but I would have to maintain multiple forms. Anybody know of a better way to handle...

Hi, I am having lots of cross-resolution (and also cross-browser) problems. I would like to know what is the most recommended solution for this type of issue: * Should I use different CSS for different resolutions? I don't like this solution because than I will have to maintain 2 large CSS files. * Should I just query the resolution each time there's a problematic div, and than add the relevant div accordingly? E.g.: if (screen.width ==...

I'm reading a series of images from a MS SQL table and saving them to directory. These are staff ID pictures from our security card app. Once I've extracted the ID photo from the security app to disk, I need to reference the disk file in our HR app. As part of the process, I'm resizing the image and changing its resolution from 96 to 72 dpi. If they are not at a 72 dpi resolution, the HR app freezes. The resizing works without a hitch, but...

I recently developed an application on my PC, which has quite a large screen and a high resolution. When it was deployed, clients who had a different configuration had problems with seeing all the controls and they had to use scroll bars!! Potentially all applications will be used by a wide range of users with different settings; is there a preferred way to designing applications to meet the needs of all end users? For this application,...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
