| 708152 | 2008-09-27 04:45:00 | Hi. I have not long finished a format of the hard drive of my Toshiba Tecra 8000 laptop. The available screen is only 2/3 of the LCD size and I can't seem to get it to pick up the whole area. The buttons at top right indicate it is already maximised. The 'display' option in Control Panel shows 640 x 480 on the slide bar, but I cannot drag it higher. I don't seem to be able to find a better driver that will take it up to full screen. It was OK in the dispaly area before the format of the drive. Any ideas? | A Team (13613) | ||
| 708153 | 2008-09-27 04:47:00 | So what driver did you install?? One from the Toshiba site? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 708154 | 2008-09-27 04:53:00 | Negative. The one it defaulted to one the Windows 98 CD. Not sure how to identify what display card I've got. I just changed the driver to the only Toshiba specific one (T3) on Windows CD, rebooted then got 'Windows is now restarting... An internal stack overflow has caused the session to be halted. Change the STACKS setting in your CONFIG.SYS file, and then try again', but the text stays on the screen and it doesn't ptogress, nor is there a Dos prompt. Where to from here? |

| 708155 | 2008-09-27 05:00:00 | Look on the Toshiba site for the driver, and once u get into windows install the driver for 98 If the Toshiba site has the driver for 98 |

| 708156 | 2008-09-27 05:06:00 | OK, I'll do that, but am still stuck on the 'Windows is now restarting... An internal stack overflow has caused the session to be halted. Change the STACKS setting in your CONFIG.SYS file, and then try again', but the text stays on the screen, and a reboot simply brings the text back. Will not now boot from a boot disk, either?? | A Team (13613) | ||
| 708157 | 2008-09-27 05:11:00 | Well you shouldnt have changed the driver without asking first. Try booting into safe mode and delete the display driver in device manager, then reboot |

| 708158 | 2008-09-27 05:11:00 | Can you get into safe mode? | Jen (38) | ||
| 708159 | 2008-09-27 05:14:00 | Hi, Jen. No. Rebooting just brings the same words up on the screen, even if tapping F8. Can't go forward, can't go back! Cheers | A Team (13613) | ||
| 708160 | 2008-09-27 05:25:00 | Standby. I found a thread on another forum indicating a similar lockup. Said to take the battery out and put it back. Even though my battery is stuffed, i did it and then it booted up fine. I will now set abt installing a driver from the T site and see what happens. I'll let you know. I haveremoved the driver in Dev Mngr. | A Team (13613) | ||
| 708161 | 2008-09-27 05:29:00 | Make sure you get the right driver, not any driver | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
