Laptop Switches to lower resolution automatically
Here I Am again.. Never thought I'd visit this forum this often that often asking for help..
Im actually writing this on the problematic laptop, and i cant hit the buttons correctly, so sorry for any mistakes.
Here we go, An Amilo Fujitsu Siemens Si 3655 laptop (about 5 years old) (windows 7 professional upgrade from vista several years ago, 64bit) Switches to a smaller resolution automatically while in use (there are black bars on the right [about 1/5 size of the screen] and a small one on the bottom) on the screen, a restart fixes them, sometimes it takes a few tries to get it right. I HAVE Reinstalled the Intel Graphics Family Controller 4 Drivers or whatever the hell they are called, it asked for a restart and booted back into the small screen right away I checked the Intel Media Graphics Control panel for a fix, it doesn't have any bigger resolution available, and when right clicking and checking the display settings it's already on the biggest settings (1024 x 768 ) Whitch i think is the full resolution but i still have black bars.. If I maximize a window it only scales up to the black bars..
I have bolded the important stuff incase u don't have time to check the full story.
Great thanks.. estXcrew
