Windows 7 Resolution Problem Hi
I installed windows 7 home premium 32-bit in my
computer.
Everything seemed to work fine except the
screen.
My screen is 17'' medion screen.
The computer zooms the screen in and makes
it to small..
Everything i'm doing doesn't fit in the screen.
When i try to change the Screen resolutions it
says :
You can't change this settings because the
height of your display is less than 600 pixels..
I didnt know the specs, So heres a website with the specs. Dell Dimension 2400 Specs (Pentium 4 2.66 GHz, 512 MB RAM, 120 GB HDD) - Desktops - CNET Reviews
Everything is untouched on the computer except I installed 2G of ram and a extra internal hard drive, and a dvd burner. | My System Specs |

Dell only has XP drivers for your model.
So go here and get the latest video driver and any others that will be updates. http://downloadcenter.intel.com/
Then click "Run Intel Driver update Utility" top left of page.
This will search for the right drivers for your system. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Hopalong/ Godzilla OS Windows7 Pro 64bit SP-1; Windows XP Pro 32bit CPU Intel Core i7-870 Lynnfield 2.93GHz LGA 1156 95W Quad-Core Motherboard ASUS P7P55D-E PRO Memory 8GB@1400MHz Crucial Ballistix DDR3-1600 4x2GB Graphics Card ASUS ENGTX460 DirectCU/2DI/1GD5 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 Sound Card VIA Onboard Monitor(s) Displays Asus VS248H-P 24"; Samsung SyncMaster 941BW 19"ws Screen Resolution 1920x1080; 1440x900 Keyboard Logitech K-320 Mouse Kensington PSU COOLER MASTER Silent Pro RS850-AMBAJ3-US 850W Modular Case COOLER MASTER HAF 932 RC-932-KKN5-GP Black Cooling Scythe "Mugen-2 Rev.B" (2 ScytheKaze-Jyuni PWM fans) Hard Drives Samsung 830 120GB SSD

1. Does the resolution say 1024 x 768 or what?
2. Are you sure you have the correct driver for that screen?

That's not good enough. What about the driver? Sounds like you are running on a generic driver. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP, Dell, Gateway, Toshiba - 4 laptops and 2 desktops OS Vista, Windows7, Mint Mate, Zorin, Windows 8 CPU from 1.6GHz Duo to i7 Monitor(s) Displays 2x HP w2207 Keyboard with trackball - no mices Mouse Trackball mice Hard Drives 5x HDD, 7x SSD, 12x Externals Internet Speed DSL 6000 |

I suggest you run the Windows7 Upgrade Advisor and see what it says about your graphics/monitor. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP, Dell, Gateway, Toshiba - 4 laptops and 2 desktops OS Vista, Windows7, Mint Mate, Zorin, Windows 8 CPU from 1.6GHz Duo to i7 Monitor(s) Displays 2x HP w2207 Keyboard with trackball - no mices Mouse Trackball mice Hard Drives 5x HDD, 7x SSD, 12x Externals Internet Speed DSL 6000 |
