How to increase screen resolution in W7
Hello
My Window7 family ed is installed on an old machine and my problem is the following:
- my screen hp le1901w have a definition 1440x900 and operate on another distribution ( linux in dual boot ) as per this resolution
- for W7 the max in the menu is 1280x 1024 and no other larger resol appear in others menu
I try to modify in regedit / video / X resol & Y resol and replaced 1280 per 1440 and 1024 by 900
Anyway no change in screen resol menu ; still 1280 x1024 ; this make a large difference
Note : for this resolution in linux I had to add some functions in startup sequence , this means this resolution is not recognized by the old BIOS ( I suppose, try to update my BIOS but not possible it seems , original from 2005 ) ; in W7 drivers for screen is for hp screeb while for graphic card it's a windows standard.
here screen data( from linux) :
