Cube Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Can Ayone tell me how I can set Vista onto wide screen, Having alot of trouble with it. Currently it's a at a 1360 x 768. But it still isn't wide enough and isn't giving me the option to go wider. Help? Just saw the other (locked) thread. Does your TV support more than 1360 x 768?

Ant-Shimmin Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Just saw the other (locked) thread. Does your TV support more than 1360 x 768? 1365x768 Is the reccomended resolution, But Vista won't go that far. Just going through Driver options now. Cheers for the advice...

Mine does, at a resolution of 1440x900. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine does, at a resolution of 1440x900. Yeah the connection is exactly like a monitor, but the resolution is very low 1360 x 768. It has 2" to 3" Black Strpes either side, and the image is pretty fuzzy. It's a direct connection from PC to HDTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, the only problem is the borders, you can't do anything about the low resolution. No idea on solving the border problem, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motion Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I'm assuming OEM versions of Vista can be installed on a blank hard disk right? Doesn't need to be upgraded from XP? Also, god I hate that transparent window bar thing, hopefully that's changeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant-Shimmin Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Yeah it can Also it can be changeable, but the fact is it looks better then the others on offer...Besides you only get that Transparent bar if you get Windows Vista Home Premium and Upwards.

Guest Stefkov Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Upgrading to Vista was the easiest upgrade I've done. Saving all my files to my external HDD, which most of em were anyway, I did it a second time to make sure. Then sticking in the CD and doing it. Didn't take long at all, nor was there any hassle.

AeroScap Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Lol I just did an upgrade to vista for my living room media PC, 1) CD in 2) leave it to install 3) come backt to a new windows It makes a folder in C: called "old.windows" all your old files are there. After that is just a copy paste to your new location on your pc THEN just delete "old.windows" and it's as new. No problems to be found. At ALL.
