Windows 7 Resolution reset.

[Vilas422]

Hi, i'm having a problem. Few days ago i turned on my pc. Lauched DiRT 2. My game resolution was set to 800x720. All games was set on that resolution. My dekstop resolution was 1280x800. But when the other day i turned on my pc, my dekstop resolution was okey but when i launch any game, DiRT 2, Grid, Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2, resolution was the same, but didn't stretch to the edges of my monitor (Laptop HP Compaq 6735b). Then i made a restore from point which was made after my last Windows Update (I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate). Then in games resolution was okey, 800x720 stretched to edges of my monitor. But everytime i turn off or restart pc My desktop resolution also changes to 800x640. Hot to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

It seems like you are facing a resolution issue on your Windows 7 Ultimate system where the game resolution settings are not stretching to the edges of your monitor, specifically on your HP Compaq 6735b laptop. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve this issue:

1. Desktop Resolution Settings:
   • Right-click on your desktop and select "Screen Resolution" (if available).
   • Adjust the resolution to your desired setting (e.g., 1280x800).
   • Click on "Apply" to save the changes.
   []Scaling Settings:
   • In the Screen Resolution settings, check for the scaling options. Ensure it is set to "Recommended" or "100%."

     Game Specific Settings​

   []In-Game Settings:
   • Launch the game (DiRT 2, Grid, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2).
   • Look for video settings within the game.
   • Set the resolution to match your monitor's native resolution (e.g., 1280x800).

     Graphics Driver Settings​

   []Update Graphics Drivers:
   • Ensure your graphics drivers are up to date.
   • Visit the HP website or the manufacturer of your graphics card to download the latest drivers.
   []Graphics Control Panel:

   • Check for any settings that could affect resolution or scaling.

     Windows Update Issues​

   • Sometimes, Windows Update can affect display settings.
   • Ensure that your Windows 7 installation is fully updated.
