Safe Mode Resolution

[honsbeek2]

Hi ,

I had one more question,
How can one change the Display Resolution with safemode...
When I try to change it, it doesn't change to the new resolution, let's say 1024x768, but nothing happens.

I have a Radeon 7500 series and the drivers installed.
When in Safe mode (Network Options) the fact that I can't go higher than 640x480 makes it really hard to move standard size
popup windows (the one you need) within a website.

Does this make any sense to you ?? I hope it does

thank you

If I'm not mistaken, that should be normal.

In Safe Mode, not all the drivers are loaded up when the OS boots. It's basically a bare-bones OS operation when you go into Safe Mode.

ahh... it's safe mode... you're not suppose to use it for daily use. There is no way of changing resolution or video settings while in Safe Mode.

The reason why I ask is , because I know for 100% that I have done it before...

I was in SAFE MODE like it is branded in the top part of the desktop display... But I was at resolution 1024x720...

Anymore ideas would be appreciated

thank you

Reboot the computer, pressing F8 to access the windows advanced options menu. Choose 'enable VGA mode' from the menu.

VGA mode starts Windows normally with a single exception. Your video refresh rate and resolution are both reset to 640x480 and 60Hz respectively. This should display correctly on any VGA monitor, allowing you to change the display settings to something more compatible with your hardware.

To do this, go to 'start\control panel\display' and choose the 'settings' tab, then 'advanced.'

Select the 'adapter' tab and choose 'list all modes.' Select a resolution that works with your current monitor setup, then click 'ok' to test. If everything looks fine, reboot the computer into normal mode.

Why are you working in safe mode?

 

[sobelizard]

Why not? It's safe.

I prefer recovery console myself.
