i just bought my new lcd screen it's a 23 inch Samsung with 1920*1080 resolution, i hooked it up through the vga cable (that's the only connection that this monitor has but it's ok because i connect it to a notebook with vga) and i can't get the max resolution, i can only get 1680*1050 and the image kinda sucks like this, i tried installing the latest driver, same thing, i even used powerstrip, an utility that claims to fix the problem and nothing works, the notebook has an intel x3100 video adapter. I also have a netbook with the gma950 that runs windows 7 and there everything runs perfect at the max resolution, but on the notebook it just doesn't work...

If this is Intel graphics (and I think that's what you meant by "x3100") your BIOS is probably forbidding the 1920x1080 resolution because your laptop vendor shut it down (potentially for the exact reason walford pointed out, but it's hard to speculate on laptop vendors' motivations).

    • Playground Games confirms Forza Horizon 6 save wipe bug

      Wow, imagine you dump hundreds of hours into completing things and unlocking stuff and you lose it all. Back in the day when cheats were built into games, you could at least unlock things again that way without spending hundreds of hours again. But those days are long gone for some reason as no one builds cheats into games anymore. So it's even more painful that studio that's on its 6th installment **** it up so badly.
    • Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update

      Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update by Ivan Jenic Image: Spotify Spotify has just released an update that removes its now infamous disco ball icon. The update reverts the app icon to the familiar flat green logo after weeks of mixed reactions online. The icon arrived on May 13 as part of the company's 20th anniversary celebration and was always intended to be temporary, though Spotify only confirmed that after the backlash started. The disco ball took the internet by storm, as the reception was split. A vocal group of users called it ugly and disorienting, with some iOS users noting that the 3D glowing effect made the app look like it was stuck mid-update. On the other end, the icon picked up a following of its own. Its retro, three-dimensional look immediately stood out against the flat, minimalist aesthetic that has dominated app design for years. It even started a small movement, spawning what people started calling "discomorphism," a mashup of disco and skeuomorphism. Other brands started posting disco ball versions of their own logos, probably in an effort to ride the wave of memes that flooded the internet during late May. Spotify has had a turbulent relationship with its user base lately. Besides the disco ball icon, which certainly wasn't appreciated by everyone, the company has also received backlash for its willingness to include AI-generated music on its platform. On May 17, Spotify promised the old icon would return “in a few weeks.” And now it looks like that time has finally arrived. So, whether you liked the disco ball or it made you uncomfortable, it’s now gone for good. The next time you update the Spotify app on your phone, the old, flat-design icon will return.
