Vista Resolution Problem

Vortrex · 08-06-2009, 12:50 PM

Hey everyone,

I recently got Vista on my new computer and lately on start up it has had really messed up resolution. All the icons will be really huge, there will be a huge black bar on the right side of the screen, and the left side of the screen will be not visible. My screen resolution is 1920 x 1080.

If anyone has a solution for this it would be really appreciated.

Thank you!

and welcome to the Forum

What resolution did you have before? Try reinstalling your video card drivers

Yeah nothing like a few minutes to see the post.
This isnt a phone call, it may take more than 22 minutes before someone sees it and can respond.
You didnt mention anything that may have changed or been changed.
You also could have mentioned your system specs in order to possibly formulate an answer.

Before the resolution changed did anything happen that could have caused it?
Perhaps the addition of a service pack or an update?
Did you shut it down and then on reboot it was different?
Was it possibly TNBTK ?
Any additional info could be helpful.
