Hi. I had a power outage and after I got things up and running my print is larger than it was, fewer items fit in my browser and the native resolution seems to have changed from something like 1920x1080 (I don't remember exactly) to 1600 x 900 maximum. It's quite different. What would cause my native resolution to change? It happened once before and now I've forgotten how to fix it. Anyone?
Did that. Only offers 1600x900 at the top of the list.
It could be that the resolution that you are seeking is unavailable at the current frequency of the monitor. Most monitors operate at a frequency of either 60Hz, 75Hz or 144Hz. But should the monitor be set to maximum frequency, then this might then mean that the maximum resolution becomes unavailable. Go into the monitors options panel, and try setting frequency lower, and see if a resolution 1920 x 1080 then becomes available.
Thanks for the thought. I tried it and It wouldn't allow a lower frequency.
Sounds like something got corrupted, probably better to uninstall and reinstall
the graphics card driver
Thanks. Maybe I'll try that next time. But there was no need to. I ran Checkdisc and Scannow. Didn't change anything but then I shut the computer last night and today it's back to "1920x1080 (recommended)" and all my icons fit on my Chrome bookmark bar! Strange but true.
