Problem Display on digital monitor appears blurry or uses only a portion of the
screen
1
Cause
You may be using a lower display resolution than what your digital monitor supports. If your
monitor supports display scaling, the image on your screen may appear blurry. If display
scaling isn’t supported, the display may use only a portion of your screen.
1
Solution
Select the highest display resolution available. This generally results in better image quality.
Problem Can’t apply Windows Aero color scheme

Cause

Solution
Windows Aero® is supported only with a display driver designed for Windows 7/Vista
