Why doesn't my screen display a video?

❑ If the display output is directed to the external display and the external display is disconnected, you cannot display a video

on your computer screen. Stop video playback, change the display output to the computer screen, and then restart video
playback. See Selecting Display Modes

(page 76)

for changing the display output. Alternatively, you can press the

Fn+F7 keys to change the display output. See Combinations and Functions with the Fn Key

(page 31)

for more

information.

❑ The video memory of your computer may be insufficient for displaying high resolution videos. In such a case, lower the

resolution of the LCD screen.

To change the screen resolution, follow these steps:

1

Right-click on the desktop and select Screen resolution.

2

Click the drop-down list next to Resolution.

3

Move the slider up to increase or down to decrease the screen resolution.

You can check the total amount of the graphics and video memory available. Right-click on the desktop, select Screen resolution, and click Advanced
Settings
and the Adapter tab. The displayed value may be different from the actual amount of memory on your computer.
