[SOLVED] Dell M4500 Graphics problems

5041 Views 8 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  Daifne
Has anyone ever seen this (in the attachement)? I have tried updating different graphics drivers. Also this problem only occurs in certain resolutions. The computer is an m4500 with a docking station. I have tried 2 different docking stations.

Thanks

Hi see if the info here can help you Your Desktop Icons Are Missing in Windows XP
Re: Dell M4500 Graphics problems

Sorry for the confustion, I actually cut off the icons in the image. All my icons are there and so is the task bar. I just get the black bars on the side and bottom.

did you check the monitors resolution and set the same for xp
Re: Dell M4500 Graphics problems

Yes I did.
Re: Dell M4500 Graphics problems

Does it do it when not using the docking station
Re: Dell M4500 Graphics problems

It doesn't do it undocked at the native resolution. I haven't tried at a different res when undocked. I found out a temporary fix for this problem. If I locked the icons, this seemed to fix it. I've also heard if you flash the bios to the newest release, this can also fix it. I will try it and let you know.

We can close this. The fix I mentioned earlier seems to be working fine. Thanks for your help.

You can mark it [Solved] yourself under the Thread Tools at the top.

Glad you got it fixed.
