Screen resolution changes at start up?

It's fine until I run a program that changes the screen resolution like a game, it changes back to normal when I exit the game, it's just at the next start up it changes to the resolution the game was in. Pretty sure I have the latest drivers. It's been doing this from the first day I got this computer. Any ideas how to fix it?Screen resolution changes at start up?
Update DirectX

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai



Type msconfig in run

Click the BOOT.INI tab

Make sure BASEVIDEO is unchecked



If it happens with one particular game, check for a game patch at the game support websiteScreen resolution changes at start up?
uninstall the display driver and reinstall the latest ones. Then in the control panel of your gfx card find set resolution and set it to the max for your monitor.

Hope that'll help.

Which key/s on my laptop that can be pressed to automatically make the screen resolution change?

My cat keeps walking over my laptop and seems to do it everytime! How?!/?!Which key/s on my laptop that can be pressed to automatically make the screen resolution change?
Usually Ctrl+Alt+ (some key on the other side of the keyboard)



I support a few models of Fujitsu that have an ATI video card. They have a setting that Ctrl+Alt+(Up, Down, Left or Right) will rotate the display 90 degrees at a time, and the cats have no problem doing this.



If you check your display settings, Start...Settings...Display...

Click the Settings tab. You should have an Advanced button near the bottom, press that.



That should bring up the settings for your video card.

Flip through those tabs (if there is more than one) and you should find one that has a list of HotKey combinations. You should be able to see which ones are available, and maybe even turn off the hotkeys.



Good luck...

- Click on the ';Settings'; tab.

- Adjust the resolution to 1024 x 768. (Supported by most monitors and video cards)

-Click the ';Apply'; Button and then click the ';OK'; button.

  • How do i change the screen resolution on a Sharp Aquos LC37D43U to work with xbox 360?

    I cant seem to find where on the television or on the xbox 360 the correct place where i can change the resolution. The xbox is currently playing on 480p (i saw that number flash on the screen once), but the tv supports 720p/1080i. How do i change the resolution so i can get the games in high definition? As a point of reference, i do not have the hdmi connector (not supported by my xbox 360, and all the component cables are connected correctly). I am also using the xbox 360 as my dvd player, so i'm guessing the resolution will improve the quality of those as well.



    Also, my standard analog cable (no digital or HD box) is producing a poor picture on the TV. Is this due to the resolution or just due to the poor signal? Can anything be done to make it clearer (besides the obvious of buying a digital or HD box)?



    Thanks for your help.How do i change the screen resolution on a Sharp Aquos LC37D43U to work with xbox 360?
    the first answer is right about the resolution. next this is how you change the resolution of the 360. the main screen on the 360 is the ';dashboard'; if this does not come up at first. then press the x-box logo button in the middle top of the controller. a side bar will apear. press the yellow ';y'; button. this will bring you to the dashboard. press left or right till you get to the settings menu. then go to display. youcan change the resolutionoutput to 720p or 1080i. id pick 720p since thats the native resolution of your tv. (youcan try both if you like but you probably wont notice any difference). and thats it you just changed your output resolution to hd. this will only affect your 360 games. any dvd will still be output in 480p. also your cable box produces poor picture because lcds as a whole tend to make regular tv broadcasts (480i) look bad. what you can try is to use another output from the cable box. if you are using the regular cable wire (coax) then try using a composite output , thats the yellow, red and white, rca cables. like the ones dvd players use. this is if your cable box has those outputs. this has a little better quality then the regular cable wire. also if youcable box has a s-video output use that insead of the yellow wire. you still use the red and white for sound. but the s-video had the better picture over the yellow. so unless you want to get a hd box and hd subscription, then s-video is the best connection. then the yellow rca wire, then the regular cable wire (coax). try it out. good luck.How do i change the screen resolution on a Sharp Aquos LC37D43U to work with xbox 360?
    The screen resolution is not controlled by the TV but by the equipment hooked up to it. You saw the 480p flash on the screen which means your xbox is outputting 480p. For you to get higher resolution, the Xbox must configured to output 720p/1080i. As for how that would be done, I don't have an xbox so I can't advise you on that part. However I do have an upconverting DVD player and I had to set it up to output the 720p signal in order for my HDTV to display in 720p so I believe you need to do the same for your Xbox.



    As for analog cable producing a poor picture, part of it is due to the standard tv signal being 480i. To get the best possible picture, use the higest quality output that your cable box has. Quality from highest to lowest, HDMI, component, s-video and composite.



    I hope this helps you.

    Thanks for your help.How do i change the screen resolution on a Sharp Aquos LC37D43U to work with xbox 360?
    First of all you do not have to change anything on your TV. You have to do it from your Xbox 360 Dashboard. First, go to the last ';blade'; which is labelled, System. From there, go to Console Settings. Then go to Display, and from there just change the resolution to 1080i. Remeber that you have to move the switch on your Component cable from TV to HDTV.

    As for the poor picture quality, if you dont have Cable or Satellite, then the problem is due to poor signal. If you do have cable or satellite then i suggest checking the resolution settings from your TV or just getting better analog cables (I used to have the same problem so I bought analog cables of better quality). Well I hope this helps.How do i change the screen resolution on a Sharp Aquos LC37D43U to work with xbox 360?
    Go to the System Blade and select Console Settings:



    Display



    Change your display output settings from this screen. Display settings include screen resolution and screen dimension (or aspect ratio, either standard or widescreen).



    For high-definition viewing you'll need a high-definition TV or monitor, as well as the Xbox 360 HDMI Cable, the Xbox 360 Component HD AV Cable, or the Xbox 360 VGA HD AV Cable. For more information, see Connect to TV or HDTV.



    * HDTV Settings: Choose between 480p, 720p, 1080i, or 1080p output resolution, depending on the native resolution of your TV or monitor. The default setting is 480p (enhanced definition, or EDTV).



    In some cases you can select an ';Optimal Resolution'; button, which appears only when Xbox supports the native resolution of the TV or monitor and automatically applies the best setting.



    If you are using VGA or DVI, you must choose from among the following output resolutions: 640 x 480, 848 x 480, 1204 x 720, 1280 x 720, 1280 x 768, 1280 x 1024, 1360 x 768, and 1920 x 1080.

    How can I change my screen resolution from standard (4:3 based) to widescreen (16:9 based)?

    I just got a new monitor for my computer, but have encountered a problem that makes the appearance quite stretched and blurry: The actual computer isn't exactly new (it's a few years old; maybe 3-4 years) and so it's set for a standard moniter setting; a 4:3 ratio. The new moniter however, is brand new, and it's widescreen; so it's optimized for a 16:9 ratio.



    When I try to change the screen resolution (windows XP), I go to the control panel %26gt; display %26gt; settings %26gt; and in the settings tab there is a bar i can drag that changes the resolution. However, this bar only allows me to select resolutions that are 4:3 based.



    So, is there any way that I can get to a custom resolution setter that allows me to set the exact resolution myself? (like something that I can type the exact numbers into?)How can I change my screen resolution from standard (4:3 based) to widescreen (16:9 based)?
    I go to the control panel



    I am no wiz at this but in the control panel try Add Hardware and hopefully this Installation Wizard will allow you to enter the Model Information. The first screen actually asks for an installation disc. If no disc perhaps Next screen may get you started on what is involved in defining the new component. Once your computer knows what it has, hopefully the correct software will be called so the correct specifications set automatically the way we like it.



    Key here may be look at the directions - man - if there are any!How can I change my screen resolution from standard (4:3 based) to widescreen (16:9 based)?
    Your GPU probably can't support widescreen resolutions.

    Is it possible to change the screen resolution without going through the display properties? If so, how?

    Depends on the video card, mine has a quick change feature that you right click on the desktop to change, but not all cards have this feature.Is it possible to change the screen resolution without going through the display properties? If so, how?
    yes,

    if you have an ATI video card you can download a driver from the ati website u just install it and choose options

    In Vista, screen resolution change on a particular program startup?

    How do I change this so that it does not change resolution? I can't find a particular place in the program properties, etc. to change it! It's driving me batty... Thanks in advance...In Vista, screen resolution change on a particular program startup?
    Some programs change the resolution to run properly. This is especially true of some older games, TV Tuners, Virtual-PC, and a few others. If it's a good program, it should put thengs back how they were when you close it.



    Vista will also restrict the resolution, visual-themes (like disabling Vista Aero), and other things if it detects an known compatibility issue with whatever is running. I have this with RealPlayer...it should go back within a few minutes of closing the program though.



    Lastley, programs that display on external monitors usually change (stretch/shrink) the LCD resolution to make it look correct on the external display...again, it should be put automatically back to normal when the program finishes or the external screen is unplugged.In Vista, screen resolution change on a particular program startup?
    Resolution change happens because the program needs a specific res to run. If it doesn't use that res, bad things happen, and the program might not start. Just ignore it, and keep your eyes in the program. It should automatically switch back to normal after being closed
    What program is it??



    No program should have the right to change your rez.



    Update or re-install your graphic card.

  • How to Change the Screen Resolution on a recently Re-booted Windows Xp Home Edition?

    The title essentially says it all. Recently i had to Re-boot my computer and start fresh due to some vicious malware. Before, i was able to change the resolution from 1024x768 all the way to 600x480 with all color quality options available. Now, the slider for screen resolution is not present and only has one setting which is 640X480 with 16bit. So i looked this up on google and found that if i were to go through Advanced%26gt;Adapter%26gt;List All Modes i could manually change it there. However, when i do so (using 800x600 and the default refresh mode) i end up with only 8bits on the color quality and that looks like total ****. So how can I make the slider present or change my resolution with better color quality, more than 8?How to Change the Screen Resolution on a recently Re-booted Windows Xp Home Edition?

    How do i change the screen resolution when the button won't won't fit on the screen!!! HELP ME PLEASE?

    today i made the stupid mistake of putting a old game in made for 95/98 windows to my windows vista laptop...i was amazed when it played and it was funny until i turned the game off and saw that my laptop had changed the screen resolution to fit game which is a pixelated zoomed in version of my desktop with only a few huge buttons visible!



    i have restored my laptop back a few days so the game is gone but it still has this crappy resolution problem, and tests windows runs to fix problems on the laptop don't work because it doesn't see anything wrong, cause technically the computer works fine

    it suggests changing the resolution when i log on but when i get to that part on the control panel i can't get the button on the screen to change it, rendered me stuck.

    i've even tired putting another (current) game in the hope it would change it back, the game plays fine but when you quit, the strange zoomed in pixelated desktop is back :(



    i really don't want to have to put it back to factory settings for such a stupid thing, please if someone can help me fix this

    i am currently on safe mode, but i can't do much on it as you knowHow do i change the screen resolution when the button won't won't fit on the screen!!! HELP ME PLEASE?
    When you can't view windows, buttons etc. you can use the keyboard to make changes and move the window around. The topmost window can be moved using the Alt - space bar (press Alt key and then press space bar key once while Alt key is still pressed down, and then release both simultaneously). You will get an drop down menu, where move is the second option (or the M key on the keyboard). Then use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move the window around. When you have the required button or control visible (in the screen area), you can press Enter key to position the window there.



    Sometimes, the window reverts back to it's original position when you press enter, so you have to remember the location of the cursor / highlighted button and then press TAB key repeatedly till you are on the correct button/ window control. e.g. one TAB key press moves you one button or control forward, while Shift - TAB moves you backwards.



    Enter key works similar to OK while the ESC key is like Cancel.



    Try it with a visible window so that you are comfortable with keys when something like this happens.

    You could do everything by keyboard, like I had to do once for a problem kinda like this



    whenever you're in a window, pressing tab will scroll through all the possible inputs. Keep pressing tab until you get to what you want to change. Yes, it will go off-screen. The left and right arrow keys will adjust sliders once you highlight them with the tab key. Then when you're done, press enter (equivalent of clicking ok) If you have another similar comp that works fine, i suggest doing all actions simultaneously on both comps so you can tell what you're doing.

    (Although it will make a speed difference in games.)HOW DO I GET more options to change my screen resolution??? I only have six choices!!?
    the settings can NOT or, should NOT, go above your monitor's native resolution and anyway, it all boils down to what graphics card you have installed!
    The choices you get will be reliant upon the graphics card you have and the software that goes with it.
    the resolution choices shown in the control panel are the final. u cant get additional options.

    How do I change the screen resolution on a dell 2607 lcd monitor without seeing the screen?

    I have a dell 26 n lcd tv/monitor hooked up to my dell computer...was messing around and changed the screen resolution in windows (vista). Now my monitor has this bouncing msg that says ';out of range can't display this video mode. Change computer display input to 1360x768 at 60hz';. but it won't let me because I can't see anything. Have restarted, F8 and safe mode, but it only brings up the welcome screen for maybe 1 second before returning to the blank screen with the same ';out or range...'; message.



    Have also restarted by F8 in the low resolution video mode and welcome screen is visible for about 1 second before returning to ';out of range'; message.



    Have also tried hooking up a different monitor (one I'm using now) changing the resolution then hooking up the original monitor but it doesn't work, still goes back to same ';out of range...'; message.



    Have tried using the remote to the tv to change the size...doesn't work...have tried to change the factory settings but still doesn't work.



    Have tried turning off and back on; unplugging and plugging back in; different VGA cords and ensured they are plugged in securelyHow do I change the screen resolution on a dell 2607 lcd monitor without seeing the screen?
    If you used F8 to boot into VGA mode there should be NO issue at that point. It should boot into a VERY crappy looking low resolution. If you're still experiencing some sort of issue then you're in a bit of trouble. The only options I can think of is remote control the computer from another PC or take it to a shop that has access to higher end monitors and see if they can't just make the adjustment for you.

    your screen will change resolution during play when your desktop resolution is not the same as your game resolution. the small square that you are seeing can be either be caused by your outdated video card, the incompatibility of the game to your graphics card or the incompatibility of your monitor to you graphics card. what i mean by the latter is that your monitor may not support uncommon or very high resolutions used by the game like for example 1768 x 1024. to solve this, adjust the settings of the game you are playing until it fits your graphics card and monitor.

    Right click on your desktop and chose ';Properties';. Go to the last tab ';Settings'; and choose a new resolution. If the resolution you are looking for isn't available, chances are the update may have modified your graphics adapter. You can see if there are any updates on the manufacturer's site.

    if you cant get as high a resolution as you want, its either because your monitor cannot handle a higher resolution or your graphics card cant. im saying that if you cant get a higher resolution, it's because your hardware isn't powerful enough
    If you have an LCD monitor, you should make sure you have all your drivers installed correctly, and set your monitor to it's native resolution, which is probably around 1440x900, give or take. You can change it either with the driver utility, or through the Display utility in the Control Panel. (I've got a monitor of similar size, widescreen though, and that is the resolution on the sticker, and in the driver, that it lists as the native resolution.)

    I suggest a fresh install of Yahoo! Messenger. First, a fresh install will ensure you have the latest build of Yahoo! Messenger. Also, a reinstall will write over any Messenger files that may have become corrupt and causing this resolution issue. There are two versions of Yahoo! Messenger available. Yahoo! just launched Yahoo! Messenger version 8.0, which includes plug-ins and integration of Yahoo! 360 integration. For version 8, just go to http://messenger.yahoo.com, click on the 楪et it Now?button, and follow the installation process. If you are not ready for the beta, just click on the 楪et version 7.5?link located directly under the 楪et it Now?button to get the current version, version 7.5.When I log in the screen resolution changes to low bit how do fix it so it will not change the screen at all?
    The first thing to try is to re-install Yahoo! Messenger.



    Click the Start menu, Control Panels and open Add/Remove Programs. Remove Yahoo! Messenger, then install a fresh copy of the most recent version from http://messenger.yahoo.com



    If that doesn't work, try clicking ';Change Skin...'; in the Messenger menu and choose ';Classic';.



    Finally if all else fails, you could go back to and older version of Messenger:

    Hi Aqeel,

    It means that Installed version of your monitor driver doesn't support different resolutions. Try to do it with the graphics driver. It is in the control panel. If it is not there, install one that supports your motherboard.

    If the bar won't move, it means either

    a: Your screen / gfx card is incapable of displaying a resolution other than its current settings, or



    b: You don't have drivers installed for the graphics card, and your system is in simple VGA mode. You need to download and install the appropriate driver for your system's graphics card. Check the manufacturer's website.

    Sounds like your display adapter got screwed up. Try reinstalling it or simply remove it from your device manager and restart your computer. It should reinstall itself.

    shut your computer down again. if it comes back up the same, go to start, settings, control panel, display, and then change it how you want. hope that works.

    How do I set my screen resolution to an unavailable resolution?

    This morning, I logged onto my computer, and began to use it. A message appeared saying I had new style settings I hit cancel. However, it changed my screen resolution from 1280x800 to 1224x768. I tried to change the resolution back to 1280x800, however it's not available in the Display Settings menu. Is there some other method to change the screen resolution?How do I set my screen resolution to an unavailable resolution?
    that means you have not got the latest drivers for the graphics card/chip windows is using a generic driver (temporary driver) you need to go to the manufactures customer website and down load the latest drivers not only for the graphics but for everything elseHow do I set my screen resolution to an unavailable resolution?
    first of all,i hope your monitor supports highest resolutions like 1280x800,1224x768 well.it is easy to go back to 1280x800.



    1)first;right click on properties then go to settings tab

    2)check the 1280x800 there,if it is not there then,

    3) click advanced tab on settings

    4)click adapter tab

    5)click list of display models tab and select 1280x800x32bit 75Hz and press ok, and apply.

    then you will have the 1280x800 resolution.



    but remember; you said you didn't see the 1200X800 on settings menu,

    most of montiors show only best handling resolutions on settings menu

    so I'm quite sure your monitor handle the 1200X800.

    If not it can damage your monitor.so becareful.:)

    I am unable to change my screen resolution to 1440x900, my moniter's native resolution, how can I do this?

    I have Windows XP Home with a Nvidia 5200 graphics card. My moniter is a 19'; Envision Widescreen. I updated my graphics drivers and still, nothing has worked.I am unable to change my screen resolution to 1440x900, my moniter's native resolution, how can I do this?
    try lowering your screen refresh rate (start at 60Hz)

    because it seems like your video card does support high resolution but with low refresh rates (2048X1536@75Hz)

    it has nothing to do with your drivers or even removing the video card from the system, but in case you do need a fresh start, remove the drivers first, then go to the Device Manager, and uninstall your display adapter.



    cscompguy- most modern monitors do not require drivers, DLPs, plasma, and specially LCD (tft) with DVI and HDMI.

    Drivers MIGHT only be required when using an analog VGA output but this is higly unlikely



    If the refresh rate didnt work, Open your ';forceware'; panel,

    it should be version 84.21,

    go to the Screen Resolutions %26amp; Refresh Rates,

    try setting up your monitor there

    but if this still do it

    click on the ';Advanced Timing'; button.I am unable to change my screen resolution to 1440x900, my moniter's native resolution, how can I do this?
    either you video card is unable to support that resolution...or your monitor display drivers are not installed correctly.

    right click and click on graphic options
    Some monitors can only be set to a certain range of resolutions. If you cannot make it smaller than it currently is then you are probably screwed.

    http://www.computerhope.com/shortcut/ie.How To Change My Screen Resolution, When The Screen Resolution Bar Wont Move?
    I think you need to install your graphics card drivers. Thats why the resolution bar cant move ;)
    Use Start %26gt; Setting %26gt; Add Hardware

    Re-install the graphic card (device), then try to change the screen resolution again. The problem may relate to your graphic card driver. The re-installation will reload the driver.
    Either your graphics card burned out,

    or you need to reinstall the drivers.

    Go to your computers manufacturer's

    website and download the drivers. If that

    doesn't work, then it's time to get a new

    graphics card.

    pls help meHow to change the screen resolution according to the monitor size?
    every monitor size has a native resolution like

    15 inch LCD has 1024x768 which is the best resolution for a LCD monitor of this size. know your monitor's size and the native resolution and then keep that resolution. normally if you have all your graphics adapters at the right place then its done automatically.

    to change monitor size in

    xp- right click on an empty space on desktop and then click settings and then change it.

    in vista right click on desltop and then customize and then settings and then change itHow to change the screen resolution according to the monitor size?
    If you update your driver for the graphics adapter, the driver will automatically choose the largest compatible size. If not, you can check display properties.



    In XP: Right-Click a blank portion of the desktop, and go to properties.



    In Vista: You need to go to the control panel, and click/double click the control panel named to display.



    After that, go to the advanced tab and choose your resolution. Some resolutions may force a lower color depth (IE: 16-bit) so be wary.
    Simply right-click on your desktop, Properties-Settings and adjust your screen resolution. You can even choose to hide modes that your monitor does not display so it will become easy for you. Right Click-Properties-Settings-Advanced-Monit?and check the box that says Hide Modes that my Monitor cannot display. and also you can keep your screen refresh rate maximized so that you can get the best viewing quality. http://www.gamerzplan8.blogspot.com

    鈼?You should have read a great book called ';Windows XP For Dummies'; (no I'm not calling you a dummy) like I did when I first got on the Web. Except back then it was called ';Windows 95 For Dummies';. Trust me it's a great book and has lots of humor in it as well. There are two of them. Get the one that is 9 books in one. it has the most info. Don't read this book from cover-to-cover. Instead use it as a reference book.



    鈼?This book will teach you haow do do many many things with your computer. Some of them are copy, paste, delete, highlighting text, making a file, saving a file and the list goes on and on. Getting on the web before you learn the basics of your computer is like trying to be a race car driver before you learn how to drive.



    鈼?Look for this book at your local public library. If they don't have it have them use their username and password to login to firstsearch.org where they can get any book from any library in the world. :)

    How do you change the screen resolution??

    okay, so i have Windows XP. I'm trying to change the screen resolution but when i change it and press ok/apply, it say...

    Out Of Scan Range

    46.4 KHz/ 86 Hz



    what is happening??? how do i fix this???How do you change the screen resolution??
    You need to update your drivers. Left click on ';my computer'; go to ';properties'; then the hardware tab. Go to device managers and find your video card, then go the their website and download it. If you have a Dell, you can go to their site and they will have the drivers for your computer. Download the drivers and install them, then try again. Hopefully this fixes the problem. It means that your video card is not using it's full capability until the drivers tell it how.How do you change the screen resolution??
    you can't go any higher because your graphics card doesn't allow it- i would suggest to invest in a new graphics card. Good Luck...
    Your monitor only accepts certain settings.



    You need to be more specific about what monitor you have, and what settings you are trying to get.
    you may need maybe a new GPU or new drivers for your GPU u have now go to start \run: DxDaig

    should tell u what kind of GPU u have go to the manufactueres site and download them to update ur dirvers always keep dem drivers up to date and
    go to the properties of your video card and in the dialogue box you can check to show only supported resolutions,that will tel you how far you can go with your card and your monitors refresh rates,once you peek both then you manually adjust the width and height by using the buttons on your monitor until you get what you want.push it within the highest setting support shown.

    Right click at some blank space at desktop, click properties, go to setting and there you see Screen Resolution and you can change therefrom.



    Please note that in case the Arrow does not move, then you have to use the CD which comes with the Motherboard to install the Driver or you have to download the driver from the web site of the manufacturer.

Thanks!I accidentally reduced my screen resolution and now the 'Display' window is too big and I can't change it back
    It is possible to start in safe mode with some operating systems and you can adjust from there. Alternatively, go to device manager and delete the video card driver. Either scan for new hardware or restart the computer and hopefully Windows will automatically install the driver again and set the display to it's optimum resolution.



    Good luckI accidentally reduced my screen resolution and now the 'Display' window is too big and I can't change it back
    Hi

    just select the correct resolution then press enter assuming that the active button is OK.

    if this doesn't work just press tab to go t the next button then press enter.

    keep doing this till you press the OK or apply button by just through pressing ENTER as it is the same as clicking the mouse.



    Thanks.
    Double-click in a blank area of the Title bar at the top of the screen and the window should fit to your screen. If you cannot see the Title bar, click the Windows button on your keyboard and it will bring up the Task bar and you will be able to get to the Control panel from the Start button.
    try pointing your cursor at the top edge of the window and hold down the left button. You should then be able to move the window around and hopefully high enough to see the bottom
    r/click on empty part of desktop,should be settings there to alter display,what o.s by the way!

    hi david,yes its hard to change the resolution back to its original setting when the display is too large,however try using the display icon in your taskbar

    both nvidia and ati use task bar icons as quick access to there control functions,just right click the specific icon and select resolution and then choose either 800x600 or 1024x768,these are the best resolutions to use for average monitors

    alternatively you can restart your p.c and gently tap f8 to enter safe mode,using safe mode no drivers are installed and you should be able to reset your original resolution in there

    however if your display drivers were correctly installed just restart the p.c as per normal,when windows starts up it will recognize that the display is too low and issue you a message that the display is too low and do you want to change it to the default resolution(1024x768 for 17'; displays and 1280x1024 for 19'; displays),just choose yes and the display will return back to its correct setting

    any problems let me know

    good luck david!

    the thing is that one user is for me, where i want a high resolution so that everything will be smaller on my screen, and the second is for my parents, and they want the icons and the text to be big. as far as i understand the resolution change affects all users, which is frustrating. i hope i'm wrong and someone can give me an advice how to change the resolution only on one user accountIf i have 2 user accounts on my windows xp, can i change the screen resolution on only ONE of them?
