How to increase display resolution and screen refresh rate in Windows XP?

I have ruined my two days in order to solve this problem but I couldnot.I am explaining this step by step. Problem is related with Screen Resolution and Screen Refresh Rate.



My Laptop Configuration is

-Gericom First Supersonic PCI E

-Intel 915PM ChipSet

-1.73 Ghz Intel M Centrino

-1 GB RAM

-Nvidia Geforce Go 128 Graphics Card





If I go in Display properties%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;Setting, Its only showing Default Monitor under display and giving me screen resolution option of either (800 x 600) OR (1024 x 768). I could not able to increase resolution.



If I go to Display Properties%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;Settings%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;Advanced%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;Adap?All adapter information is Unavailable. If you open up properties it will mention driver name ';2VgaSave'; and says that This device is working properly.



My screen refresh size is very slow. I tried to change it (Display Properties%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;Settings%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;Advanced%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;Moni?but its not giving me any option except Default hardware settings.



In Device Manager under display adaptor its showing only ';Nvidia Geforce Go 6600'; ITs status showing everything is fine in General, Driver Tab.





I thought to change some setting in ';NVidia nView Desktop Manager'; which is located in Controle Panel but I could not able to open it. Its not opening and showing no error as well.



I have tried various times to uninstall/Install graphics card drivers. I tried for latest updates of drivers but they are not installing.



I tried to disable the default monitor

DisplayProperties%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;Settings%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;Advance?Usage %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;Disable

then my windows screen got blank. I tried everything to get it back but in the end i have to install windows again.





I am not getting exactly what really the problem is



1- Is the problem related to Graphics card driver?

2- Is the problem related to Graphics Card?

3- Or My laptop BIOS needs to update?

4- How to resolve this issue?



Please advice me what to do



MDHow to increase display resolution and screen refresh rate in Windows XP?
Ok, Sounds like you have DRIVER issues...



It sounds like you have an integrated Nvidia GEForce Go 6600 128 graphics adaptor (you should be able to tell for SURE by referencing your documentation -- what type of laptop?)



My first clue is that you said that when you go to the Adaptor Advanced settins, everything is unavailable -- BAD DRIVER INSTALLATION... If you've downloaded the latest available drivers from NVIDIA, try using a 3rd party driver... My favorite is Omega drivers (http://www.omegadrivers.net/nvidia_winxp.php). Download the latest driver there (one size fits most, i.e., dont worry abotu versions, just download and install). you should first UNINSTALL your current adaptor and it's drivers... you can do this from the DRIVER tab in the Advanced Adaptor Properties.



Once this is installed, according to the NVIDIA website, you should be able to acheive a resolution of 2048x1536 on a refresh rate of 85 Hz.



You should not need to install or worry about the MONITOR driver... However if your system came with a driver CD, you might consider checking there for one.



Dont worry about messing with nView at the moment. Just get the drivers installed so that you can see the properties and use the right resolutions... nView wont do anything there that regular display settings cant.



I'm willing to guarantee that this is a driver problem.


What's wrong with our computer screen?

The monitor menu (the menu you use to change the screen such as the brightness,

width, etc.) kept on appearing and it creates its own settings. It's like the

monitor controls itself. The menu kept on appearing and it is blocking the

screen very badly. Also, we have to change the Display Properties Settings

to change the screen because it kept on changing because of the monitor. What is

the problem and how can I stop it?What's wrong with our computer screen?
Something wrong in the ';memory IC unit';. Take your monitor to a hardware technician %26amp; get it repaired.What's wrong with our computer screen?
take it down have it cleaned and the if u have soft were for it do a recovery mode on it
Do you find any problem on the button? which control the monitor display setting. If the button has no problem, it could be hardware problem for your monitor.

Hope it help

My cousins computer resets his Display to 800x600 each time he tries to change it. How do I fix it?

He will reset his display settings so that his resolution is bigger. Then it will tell him he must reset before he is able to apply the changes. (All fine and dandy.) Then when he restarts it will appear in his display setting for all of.. two seconds before it resets itself, without warning to a display setting that is so big that he will be unable to do anything else.My cousins computer resets his Display to 800x600 each time he tries to change it.

How do ya play normal dvds on the ps3 using the hdmi cable?

i seen some answer a while back that said ya need to change the display settings to 1080p instead of i but when i did it went blank any ideaHow do ya play normal dvds on the ps3 using the hdmi cable?
leave your display settings where they should be. your screen went blank because it does not support 1080p. only check the resolutions that will work for your tv. you do not have to do anything special or different to play a dvd.How do ya play normal dvds on the ps3 using the hdmi cable?
You can change the settings only if your tv is capable of 1080p display, but this is not required for DVD playback.



If your PS3 is connected via HDMI and it plays the games, it should play DVDs too. They both use the same drive.
Place the DVD in the ps3. GO to video on XMB, and bam...

  • How can you change the ps3 from 14:9 to 16:9? using component?

    Hello recently I bought a component cable for my HD PVR and I have a small problem, When I select the component option under the display settings it changes the settings and everything and when I change to the new settings my TV goes into 14:9 when it is usually 16:9. I Know my TV supports 16:9 because I have used it with my HDMI cable. If you could help me figure out how to change the screen to 16:9 resolution I would be very grateful.

    By the way my ps3 is up to date and my TV is a Panasonic 32inch lCD TV.How can you change the ps3 from 14:9 to 16:9? using component?
    So is the problem with your cable box? Component cables can handle an HD signal, the other poster is thinking of composite cables. You will likely need to change the setting in the PVR to output an HD signal. You may need to go into a little more detail. How is your PS3 hooked up and what does the TV look like in each situation (PVR as source and PS3 as source)?How can you change the ps3 from 14:9 to 16:9? using component?
    you cant use component cables and get 16:9 hi-def resolution.



    basic SD signals (480i/p) will display full screen on your TV, but hi-def 720p and 1080i/p signals will not display in 16:9 full screen when you use component cables. you need hi-def cables HDMI for hi-def signals.

    My laptop screen is tinted red, how do I change the colour settings on my monitor to reduce red overall?

    I want to edit how my monitor is displayed, I have a dell studio 15 (i think) maybe 35, i can't remember, anyway, does anyone happen to know how to change monitor settings so that I can reduce redness? I haven't been able to find it anywhere, I'm running windows vista (sadly). Someone said that this helps the viewing, so I'm willing to give it a try.My laptop screen is tinted red, how do I change the colour settings on my monitor to reduce red overall?
    Laptop screens typically do not have color controls because they are pre-configured with the laptop. Desktop monitors have a row of buttons on the bottom or side that bring up a menu with display options, and tube monitors have dials. You may have a bad screen where some part is physically broken or not working properly. If it is under warranty, bring to it the store and have them look at it.



    If it is not under warranty, you could open the screen casing and check the cables connecting the screen to the rest of the computer are fully inserted. It is possible that the cable carrying blue or green are not fully inserted, so only the red gets through. If you don't want to open it up, you could bring it to a repair shop where they can determine if you need a new screen or just a quick repair
