Windows XP: Select Display DPI Setting at Startup?
Select Display DPI Setting at Startup?
by ScottRay - 6/18/07 10:28 AMI have a Dell D610 laptop running WinXP Pro. The screen is an SXGA+ (1400x1050 resolution). I have a docking station at home and use a 19" wide screen LCD monitor (1440x900). My docking station at work has a 23" wide screen LCD monitor (1920x1200).
The laptop and home 19" monitor look good at normal size (96 DPI) setting. However, the large 23" monitor needs the Display DPI Setting increased to large size (120 DPI) for my old eyes.
The problem is having to constantly change between normal and large display DPI settings. This change requires a reboot to take effect. Is there a program or script available that will run at startup and allow me to choose the DPI setting? Even better would be a startup script that detects which monitor is in use and sets the display DPI accordingly.
Have you considered

It's work :-)

Also, most laptop's graphic cards will have a choice between laptop display and external display.
Display Settings problem
by GrandmaNet - 9/18/09 4:23 PM In reply to: And, settings. . . by CoryphaeusI'm running a desktop with Windows XP SP3. I have a 19" monitor and was experimenting with display settings. Well.... I put it at a setting it didn't like, and now when the pc boots, I see the Windows logo come up.... well, the monitor display goes to black.
I attached it to my laptop.... works fine. Is there something in the BIOS or CMOS settings I need to change to get it back to the default settings? Help!!!!! I'm kicking myself over and over again, and it's starting to hurt!!
