Startup screens resolution problem
Somehow, I changed the resolution of my 'Dell' splash
screen on startup of my laptop from full screen to a 'small' resolution. The same has happended to my ME splash screen. I was hoping someone could let me know how to return it to both original sizes. I have tried restore but this did not work. Thanks in advance. |

That's what did it.... are you experiencing any problems ? Perhaps the latest video driverset or BIOS might give you your splash screens back in the right size... does it mention anything on Dell's site? Rick |

Rick sometimes overgoing the refresh rate does something like that, but I would expect it to be consistent through the whole process, not just at startup. -- "Time will bring to light whatever is hidden; it will cover up and conceal what is now shining in splendor."

Startup screens resolution problem
(I spent a good 10 minutes trying to explain this in writing without
getting too technical... without success, so you're getting the short version... e-mail me if you want the long version, it's just off the top of my head anyways which explains the receding hairline) ( a previous post where she mentioned that she's enabled TV-Out) Her laptop's Video BIOS is now geared to boot as native TV Display (NTSC) *and* in Windows Startup the Splash Screen displays before the full Windows video drivers kick in. The splash screen might display on a TV in normal size (but not necessarily). As long as nothing else is wrong, I don't see the problem.

np, shoulda mentioned her TV-Out was in another thread in my original
reply, not apparently "brilliantly deducing it" from the symptoms. g Rick B.J.Honeycut wrote: On Wed, 30 Jun 2004 16:53:23 GMT,Rick T penned this whopper in microsoft.public.windowsme.general (I spent a good 10 minutes trying to explain this in writing without getting too technical... without success, so you're getting the short version... e-mail me if you want the long version, it's just off the top of my head anyways which explains the receding hairline) ( a previous post where she mentioned that she's enabled TV-Out) Her laptop's Video BIOS is now geared to boot as native TV Display (NTSC) *and* in Windows Startup the Splash Screen displays before the full Windows video drivers kick in.
