Symptom

The application display uses only a portion of your screen and is surrounded by a dark band.

You have connected an external monitor and it does not come on.

Miscellaneous Problems

An error message is displayed on the screen during the operation of an application.

Possible Cause

1.You are running an application that does not support 1024 x 768 pixel resolution display and display compression is enabled.

2.Your external monitor is not properly installed.

3.Your operating system software is not setup with the correct software driver for that device.

4.Your external monitor is not compatible with your notebook.

1.Application software often has its own set of error message displays.

Possible Solution

1.Display compression gives a clearer but smaller display for applications that do not support 1024 x 768 pixel resolution. You can fill the screen but have less resolution by changing your display compression setting, (See Video Features Submenu of the Advanced Menu on pages 78–79.)

1.Try toggling the video destination by pressing Fn and F10 together or check your BIOS setup and enable your external monitor. (See the Video Features Submenu of the Advanced Menu on pages 78–79.)
