My monitor is not allowing me to display a resolution

Uninstalling requires a bit of space free. Try deleting a new files to free up some space which will allow for uninstalling!

Use what works and stop updating unless you absolutely have to. That procedure most of the time creates more issues than you can imagine and often renders a machine useless! If not broken, leave it alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Open the System control panel, click on Hardware and open Device Manager. Check both the Video Adapter and Monitor items to see what kind of hardware is identified. If both are identified correctly, right-click on each and select "Properties" to find out what driver version is being used. If you get a "generic" driver, that is your problem. In that case, you'll first need to be sure your video card's driver is up to date - this may take care of the monitor problem. The monitor should support either 800x600 or 1024x768 resolution. One limitation, if you have onboard video, is you may not have enough shared RAM allocated to video use to provide for the higher resolution setting. You can adjust this in the BIOS on startup - set shared video RAM to the maximum amount. Be aware that this memory is not available for your programs and if you don't have a lot of RAM installed you may take a big performance hit because you'll be using virtual memory (hard drive space) more often.

Is there a reason why you are still using Service Pack 2? If you have adequate RAM (768 MB or more) and keep Automatic Updates disabled, SP 3 offers better performance and security. Also, newer driver versions are written with the assumption you are running SP3. Also, Microsoft often provides the newest drivers for name-brand hardware in their Windows Updates Optional Updates - this is easier than going to each vendor and searching their support and downloads pages. (You are no doubt aware that if you have Automatic Updates disabled you should keep a regular schedule for manually visiting Windows Updates - Microsoft is stuck in a defensive war with hackers and virus writers, and all Windows users are targets for the attackers.)

Yahoo toolbar only allows to be deleted from the computer once installed. Deciding to delete toolbars requires ascertaining the location where the program is embeded. For example, toolbars maybe located on the computers desktop as an icon deleteable by right clinking on the icon to make availble the delete feature. Also, the toolbar may have been installed to complement several program least deleteable. For example, the yahoo internet browser is downloaded together with yahoo chats messengers, tool bars amongs several function internet features. It becomes impossible to delete the dispaly tool bar as means to removing the prorgams. Decide on the situation requesting tool bar deletion to determine the processes of resolution. Uninstalling the entire yahoo bundle of prorgams would make least available yahoo features completely. Once yahoo has bundle prorgams have be uninstalled, the computer lacks the program fucntions priorly provided and require replacement either with an improvde yahoo program or similar prorgams like msn, mozzilla, chrome, googgle, internet 8 as only mentioble internet browser prorgams.

Uninstall (not simply delete) all unused applications. These programs take up space on the hard drive and reduce the area for temporary files and load the Windows registry with dozens or even hundreds of file that need to be loaded at boot time. Both of these situations can drastically slow a computer down during boot and while running.

Perform some disk "housekeeping". Run Cleanup to remove old temporary and orphaned files, cookies, etc. Read the directions carefully before using.

Run the Windows Disk Defragment Program. It is a tool for each hard drive. This program consolidates data and free space so that the disk has large, unbroken blocks of unused space to write temporary files - and makes reading data easier as it can be found in one place - instead of having to hunt all over the disk to find it.

Remove existing and prevent future "****" from collecting by using Ccleaner aka "**** cleaner". When run and set up correctly, it will remove and prevent accumulation of junk files and spamware. Again, read directions carefully and allow updates to the program for maximum protection.

Lastly, install a good Anti-Virus program. Norton stuff is very good, BUT can slow a machine down considerably. Other choices are Avast (free "Home" version available) or Viper for about $30. Both are very good to excellent and have minimal impact on the computer speed.

Doing these few items should help a great deal - please rate this reply and good luck!

There are several reasons for a system to boot slowly.
1. Hard disk space is full
2. Temporary files have not been deleted
3. Unused Network shares have not been removed.
4. An over abundance of start up programs. Run ms config to see all the programs that start with Windows. Look at the Startup tab. Be careful not to make changes unless you know what you are doing.
5. Spyware.Malware, and other malicious programs

This normally happens when display resolution is changed to higher resolution and cannot be compatible/displayed by monitor. Either plug in another monitor and lower down resolution or Press F8 and go to advanced boot option and start your computer in safe mode and try changing display resolution. If it still doesn't works and you have the drivers for you display adapter (video card) then uninstall display adapter from device manager by booting in safe mode. Once you get to normal boot mode reinstall drivers for display adapter.

When you power up the compute press F8 key then enter in :"Enable vga mode" then go to display property and set screen resolution to 1024*768.
Then check .
If still same then enter in safe mode and uninstall graphic driver then start computer normal mode then install graphic driver.
Also in safe mode go to start->run type in run "chkdsk /r" then press ok then press "y" then restart computer then it fix and recovers error on harddrive.
Let me know if you need further assistance.
Thanks for using FixYa.

You'll have to update your drivers for your video card by going to the Mfg. website and seeing if they have any later drivers than you're currently using. In my case, the 1440x900 monitor was recognized when I downloaded later updates, though upon initial installation it wasn't recognized. My card is an ATI from about 6 years ago.

First, we'll try setting the correct screen resolution. Go to an area of your desktop that has nothing on it and right-click with your mouse. Select the "settings" tab. See if your monitor is described properly in the drop-down box. If not, you may have to install drivers for it to get the proper resolution. Take a look at the slider and see if you can slide it to the proper native resolution for your monitor.

You can always try uninstalling the current driver. Go to control panel | system, click on the hardware tab, then click on the device manager button, expand "Display adapters" then delete your default display device. The best then then is to reboot Windows and let it find your display adapter. Possible that it will boot into the proper resolution, but if not, follow the above directions again, but this time don't delete the driver, instead right-click and select, "update driver." Let's see if that works for you.
