Screen Resolution for Recovery Media DVD

Thread needs solution

When I reset/restart my PC, the screen resolution is set to low resolution. When I boot the recovery DVD, the resolution is not changed,  and the recovery screens are over-scanned. Therefore, I cannot see the buttons at the bottom of the page, as it's off the bottom of the screen. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem? Thanks.

This still applies on current versions:

Hit F11 when booted from Acronis Bootable Media (on the selection screen) and in the command-line window enter the following:

vga=ask

Alternatively, you can download Windows ADK from Microsoft and install it.  You can then build WinPE rescue media (the default is Linux based) which will have default Windows driver for resolution and usually handles screen resolution a little better.  

 

You're welcome!  Glad it's sorted out now.
