Does enabling Clear Type on Windows XP improve the screen on a LCD?

It can get rid of that scratchy  look to your text; there's an online tuner here\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/typography/cleartype/tuner/step1.aspx\n\nand a powertoy that will add a component to your control panel\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/typography/ClearTypePowerToy.mspx

On older CRT monitors (resemble a TV), having the same image on-screen for a long time would cause it to start etching into the glass. This was called "monitor burn".\n\nUsually happened worst on monochrome displays; almost never happens nowadays, and can't happen to LCD displays.

Hi,\nThis is Bobby, a Network Engineer by profession. If you are talking about the Desktop Screen then press CTRL and ALT keys together, let the keys be pressed use the arrow keys to adjust the orientation of desktop in any of the four corners as you desire.\n\nAlternatively, right click on Desktop, goto Properties, then click on Settings.It will show option to change Screen Resolution and Colour Properties. Adjust the Screen Resolution Slider to increase or decrease the screen resolution, click on OK. Later you can rollback to yours previous screen resolution, if you desire.\n\nGood Luck... :):)

I have XP SP2, and I don't have a white vertical stripe.  Have you tried switching monitors to see if it's a problem with your monitor?  Also, but less likely, could be your graphics card.

There should be a combination of keys you can push to get it to switch displays.  For Compaqs, I think it's Fn+F4.  For Dells, it's Fn+F8.\n\nSee if any of the keys on your keyboard has a picture of a monitor or the words "CRT/LCD," in a different color.  That, combined with your Fn key, usually tells the display to output somewhere else.  Good luck.  =)

I had a similar problem. One of my friend advized me to go to MS dos and type scanreg /restore; I got 4 options. He asked me to select the 3rd or 4th. I did and then followed the on screen instructions. I then adjusted display setting color resolution to true color, and 600x480 to 800x600. It is working well now. Please dont ask me more. I am not a computer savvy.

If that wonderfully sleek, space-saving flat-screen monitor adorning the top of your desk or workstation is blurry with fingerprints and smudges, there is hope. LCD (liquid crystal display) screens are especially susceptible to scratches and require a little special care, but you can have yours shining like new in no time. Apparently, every manufacturer has their own recommendations on how to best clean their particular model of LCD, but there are some general guidelines. \nYou don't have to turn the monitor off before cleaning it, but this will help you see the smudges and smears. If your screen is merely dusty, you can wipe gently with a soft, cotton cloth or try a can of compressed air. But if your screen is downright grungy, you might have to resort to some tougher tactics. \n\nThough some people recommend using Windex, ethyl alcohol and ammonia-based cleaners can yellow your flat-screen or laptop monitor over time, so it is best to avoid such products. You can find an array of commercial products specifically designed to clean LCD screens, but you may prefer to just head to your kitchen and mix up your own solution. Plain old water can do the trick, or you can concoct a solution of vinegar and water or isopropyl alcohol and water. \n\nAlways use a soft cotton cloth, rather than a rag or paper towel to wipe the screen. Some people recommend special electrostatic cloths, like those used to clean eyeglasses treated with anti-glare finish, or even dryer sheets. Apply the cleaning solution to your cloth rather than directly to the screen and wipe in one direction -- from the top of the screen to the bottom. \n\nOne final word of warning, never touch or press on your LCD screen with your fingers as this can cause the pixels to burn out.

Yes it can be done, acutally that is the basic working principal of a  LCD, but the clarity of the image is not so good

You can adjust focus, if necessary. Click on the rightmost standard pattern in the Display Service Utility. You should get a focus test pattern on the screen. Carefully adjust the focus screw (the upper one) so that both the center and edge test patters are reasonably crisp. You might have to find a compromise between center and edge clarity, but it should be possible to get it pretty good.

Driver issue, there is not a correct driver for this and WinXP is forced to use default drivers which do not have the correct resolution. The solution is to use PowerStrip to force the monitor to recognize a correct resolution.\nSee the link below.

Most likely it's getting Old...You can try to correct this with you screen settings via you Video card...First try you gamma setting, contrast, brightness...but as cheap as Monitors are now, you better off getting a New LCD flat screen monitor anyways...

Go to Control Panel, display, then Settings tab and set it for MORE screen resolution, then apply it see if that does it for you.

What kind of display do you have?  LCD or CRT.  Sometime your monitor won't do certain resolution.  I believe your card should always be able to support lower resolution.  My guess is that you may have a hardware incompatibility problem.  May be update your driver software from Dell will help.\n\nGood luck.

Go to control panel>display>settings and slide the screen resolution to suit.

If you look at your monitor (assuming here that it is a desktop), there should be an area on the bottom that brings up settings for it.  Not just the brightness tab, but look under the contrast as well.  Oh and don't forget to look at the user settings as sometimes those have an effect as well.
