Post: HELP My Monitor is Messed Up !!!!!!

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I recently updated from windows vista to windows 7. On vista my display ran on recommended settings (1680x1050). But since updating to 7 everything has gotten MUCH smaller. I tried changing screen resolution and magnifying but it just doesn't work. It's as if the aspect ratio is wrong. Does anyone know how the hell to fix this?

Sounds like you have the wrong driver for your adapter. Try doing a scan with device doctor and see if their is any updates for your display adapter. You must login or register to view this content. Smile

You have the right driver Things are just smaller with a higher resolution... It will be better that way most of the time trust me lol...

No it's the same resolution that I had on Vista but on 7 it's tiny. On vista it was fullscreen though not shrunk.

Alright then what I said is true, and You will either have to deal with the blur or enjoy tiny size screen...

But if you think it is a faulty driver then tel me what graphics card you have...

Because when I installed 7 it picked up my drivers automatically and my original driver disk did not work ....
