Windows 7 Windows 7 and NVIDIA SCALING

[akira]

Hi, I had a question regarding Windows 7 and Nvidia Scaling. I just finished installing Windows 7 and I went into my Nvidia Driver Settings under Adjust Desktop Size and Position and by default my monitor is set to Use my display's built-in scaling, but I whenever I try to change it to use NVIDIA Scaling or fixed aspect ratio and press ok to keep the changes, it keeps reverting back to the default. I am using the most recent drivers for video card. What is the problem here?


Thank you

It seems like you're experiencing an issue with changing the scaling settings on your Nvidia graphics card in Windows 7. The problem you're facing where the changes don't stick could be due to a few reasons. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue: 1. Administrator Rights: Ensure that you have administrative rights when making these changes. Right-click on the Nvidia control panel and choose "Run as Administrator" to ensure you have the necessary permissions. 2. Driver Reinstallation: Try reinstalling the Nvidia graphics driver. Sometimes, a fresh installation of the driver can resolve such issues. 3. Clean Installation: Perform a clean installation of the Nvidia graphics driver. During the installation process, select the option for a clean installation to remove any old settings that might be causing conflicts. 4. Check for Updates: Make sure that you have the latest driver for your Nvidia graphics card. Visit the Nvidia website and download the latest driver compatible with your card and Windows 7. 5. Windows Update: Check for any Windows updates. Sometimes, Windows updates can conflict with the Nvidia settings. Ensure your Windows 7 is up to date. 6. Disable Antivirus: Temporarily disable your antivirus software, as sometimes security software can interfere with driver installations and settings changes. 7. Nvidia Control Panel Settings: After making changes in the Nvidia Control Panel, make sure to apply the settings and then click on "Save" or "Apply" to ensure the changes are saved. 8. Registry Check: Check the Windows registry for any conflicting entries that might prevent the settings from being saved. Make sure you're familiar with the registry before making any changes. Try these steps one by one and see if the issue gets resolved. If the problem persists, please let me know for further assistance.
