How to set high resolution??

[krish]

Hi,

I've got a Compaq Presario Notebook. The config is as in my siggy. The problem is that whenever I try to increase the resolution from 1024x786 to any other...the desktop or the screen expands out of the actual physical screen. So when I take my mouse pointer towards left, the screen scrolls to left part of the desktop. And that's for all of the sides. I've checked all of the options in the display properties but no avail. It has a 15 inches LCD. And I'm using Catalyst control center with latest drivers and WDDM.

Please reply as soon as u can,

Krish

Akshay, Do you have ATI Chipset???

 

[Akshay]

No. I have 915 chipset...

U can try updating ur drivers. Also chk if u hav selected multiple
monitor option... If yes, disable it

 

[krish]

Drivers Updated and the option of multiple monitors also checked....no avail..

Anyone please help...........

 

[Akshay]

Check if ur graphics drivers give u the option of "center desktop"
U can download a small diagnostic utility (ntest.exe) for ur screen chk
from *www.nokia.com/products/monitors/index.html

Also under display properties - settings - display: select
"plug and play monitor on "ur chipset name"". Dont select "default monitor".
If this has been selected by default, try vice versa

If nothing is helping call: 1800-444-999 (HP Toll free no.)
Then I think there is a prb with ur chipset. Get in touch with the HP ppl asap.

Thanks Akshay for the research u did. There's no option for "Center desktop" and that link is not working .

Yes, uner display properties "default monitor" has been selected. But there is no other option to change that.

In the end I'll try the helpline...but before that I want to try all the options

My Compaq Presario requires me to also set the REFRESH rate under Adapter Properties to that of the maximum supported by chipset. 85 in my case.
It works for me. Check it out and see.

 

[krish]

Can anyone please send me the link for the latest drivers for my chipset i.e. ATI Mobility Radeon Xpress (PCIe) 200M. Also tell me if seprate drivers are required for the LCD panel or the monitor??

Didnt u get drivers cd with ur compaq sys? If not den download ur model
specific drivers from:

*www.compaq.co.in

 

[krish]

I didn't got the drivers CD with the laptop. And the drivers on the website are quite old. I already have those drivers. So pls tell me if there is any other website to download latest drivers for my mobo.
