Toshiba Windows Vista resolution problem

Hi, I would really appreciate if anybody can help me out! :)

I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 with windows vista business installed. The max display resolution I am able to set on it is 1280 x 800 - Colors: 32 bits and and Refresh Rate: 60 hertz. At this resolution everything looks bigger than what I am used to. How can I set it to higher resolution and 64 bits color? and is 60 hertz refersh rate ok?

Thanks in advance!!!

Depending on the version of A100 you have, 1280X800 may be the max resolution for your graphics card. Read the user manual for your specific model to see what the max resolution is, but usually, the video driver will lock out resolutions that your screen cannot handle.
If, for some odd reason, your screen can handle a higher resolution, try updating the video drivers.

Now to answer your other questions;

  • There is no 64 bit color mode; and if there was it would be redundant, as humans can't see that many colors.
  • 60Hz is fine and is probably the best your monitor can do.

Toshiba A200 Bluetooth XP problem (originally Windows Vista)

Make sure that you installed both the driver and a bluetooth manager software like : Bluesoleil (http://www.bluesoleil.com/) or Widcomm. Windows Vista has an In-Built manager while Vista doesn't have so you have to manually install one. If you dont know how to contact me at any time.

Windows XP for Toshiba satellite A100

you can still install windows XP on your laptop. If you are worrying about the recovery disk, all you have to do to secure your important files. About the driver?, you can download it. Anyway you can still use the CD utility of your computer and still install it.
