monitor display problem

Expand Post »
I have a Latitude C800. This morning we I turned it on the display came up very small with an 1.5" black border. Restarting has not helped. I use the laptop for teaching, and when projected through the projector the display is normal. Is reloading the display drivers the way to go?
Thanks for your help.

Re: monitor display problem

Right click on your Windows desktop and select properties. Go to settings tab and you'll notice two squares with 1 and 2. Try selecting one of them and see what happens

Re: monitor display problem

In settings, I only have one monitor showing with a window in the middle. Underneath it says Display: (Multiple Monitors) on Mobility M4

Re: monitor display problem

Is there more than one selection in the Display dropdown?

Re: monitor display problem

I see that you projected through an overhead. Try fiddling with the function keys - I think it is F4 or one that says LCD->CRT . Use FNC key and F4 together. It may think it is projecting to the projector

Re: monitor display problem

Thanks for you continued advice. Sorry I have been away for a bit. I tried what you said, but it didn't help, but it did get me thinking that I may have inadvertantly hit a wrong key when I was loading up the other day. hitting FNC F7 fioxed it. Should have know it would be simple, but I am not too computer savvy. Thanks again for your inadvertant help.
