I am having much problems with my laptop graphics for a while now ! I currently have my bios setting to compatibility mode and i was wondering ,,,,if i reinstall windows,, what setting should it be on ? And which setting is the recommended one for my Lenovo T-61 running windows 7 32 bit ? And lastly, what is the difference between all the different settings ? and, would switching out of current mode (compatibility) make a difference in graphic resolution ?

Thanks in advance

SATA mode can not improve the graphics, of course. But of AHCI vs compatibility mode I'd choose AHCI for the performance of the hard drive, not the video card.

1. Currently have my bios setting to compatibility mode and i was wondering ,,,,if i reinstall windows,, what setting should it be on ?

If I was reinstalling the system, I'd try AHCI.


2. And which setting is the recommended one for my Lenovo T-61 running windows 7 32 bit?

I don't know. You current mode is compatibility, was it always this way since you bought your note, have you ever reinstalled your system - no idea.


3. And lastly, what is the difference between all the different settings ? and, would switching out of current mode...
Never mind,,,i did what Warren G said and it worked like a charm ! Maybe you can also tell me what my Display settings should be Warren G ! I listed all the info in this thread previously !
