Display Problems - HP Pavilion  

Hi all,

I have a HP Pavilion laptop (dv6810us). It's about 1.5 years old, so it came w/Vista. I currently have it dual booted w/7 Premium, and everything works fine except for the display. In the Vista boot, i get 1280x800, very clear. When i boot into 7, it says it displaying the same resolution, but it looks horribly fuzzy, and the icons are larger.

I've tried all display/control panel options thus far, and i've ensured that i have all settings to their highest level. I've searched HP's website for compatible 7 display drivers, but nothing has been released. Is it that my laptop simply cannot handle 7?

Will do, thanks!

Well, it's been a little while, and i finally had time to try this method out. No luck. Even after running the utility and modifying the driver, it still gives me the same error of incompatibility. Even though i downloaded the Windows 7 version of the driver, the error comes up and says that i'm not using a Vista compatible driver. ??

Woo! Did some troubleshooting and everything is now working fine (knocks on wood)! Wonderful, high-quality display. Thanks to all on here for pointing me in the right direction.

did you just use the above method? I have the same problem, the highest display setting is still fuzzy. I'll try that method after class then.

oh, and how can I find my graphics card, I've done the scan method but that just downloads something immediately without giving me the chance to unzip it and do the other steps.

okay it looks like just getting the driver for my card off hp's website solved it. display is clear again.
