Screen Resolution, Help!

Im not too sure if this is the right place to write this. but my laptop went flat, and then i charged it, and it was on the lowest screen resolution possible. i tried 2 change it, but its still horrible, theres no way to put it back to the original resolution. i tried updating drivers and stuff, and some of the stuff u guys write isnt good for ppl hu dont understand computers haha.

please help, it hurts my eyes!

Re: Screen Resolution, Help!

Which laptop are you using?
For a laptop you need to use the native display of the screen. This is because the display is made up of liguid crystals and if the setting is wrong the display may look blurred.
Try 1024 x 768.

Re: Screen Resolution, Help!

I am using an HP Pavillion D6700 if that helps? I have that resolution on it at the moment, but its not right. Also, there is nowhere to choose the native resolution. This has happened once before and there was a button to click, but not this time. with 1024 x 786, everything is still stretched. And none of the other resolution options it gives me are right either.

Jaivee,

If you have not already, then I would check the drivers offered by HP to see how they work instead.

You just go to HP's Support & Drivers webpage and use the Automatically detect option to lookup your computer's model number to get the available driver downloads for it.
