S 3 ,S 4 : A mode check module verifies whether the display mode of the monitor is either an overscan mode or an underscan mode. S 5 : A test image and an Adjust button are displayed in the verified display mode, and Adjust information and EDID information upon completion of the adjustment that a user visually makes are output to a particular file. S 7 : The particular file is copied to a predetermined folder of the first OS. S 8 : The settings of BIOS are changed according to the contents of the particular file. S 9 : BIOS is restarted. S 10 to S 14 : A POST screen, a logo of an OS maker, and a screen for opening the package of the first OS are displayed in a state where the rim of the screen is not cropped.
1. A resolution setting apparatus of a computer comprising:
a determining unit to determine, before an operation for accepting terms and conditions of a license agreement of a first operating system software to be installed on the computer is performed, whether a digital interface connects the computer to a television and whether a display mode of the television is an overscan mode;
a setting unit to cause, when the determining unit determines that a digital interface connects the computer to a television and the display mode of the television is an overscan mode, a display mode of a second operating system software or a set of software tools corresponding to the first operating system software to be set to an overscan mode; and
a reflecting unit to reflect the display mode, which is set by the setting unit, on settings of the first operating system software.
2. The resolution setting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the reflecting unit reflects the display mode on the first operating system software when the television connected to the digital interface is changed to another television while a processing operation is being performed on the first operating system software.
3. A resolution setting apparatus of a computer comprising:
a determining unit to determine before an operation for accepting terms and conditions of a license agreement of a first operating system software to be installed on the computer is performed, whether a digital interface connects the computer to a monitor and whether a display mode of the monitor is an overscan mode;
a setting unit to cause, when the determining unit determines that a digital interface connects the computer to the monitor and the display mode of the monitor is an overscan mode, a display mode of a second operating system software or a set of software tools corresponding to the first operating system software to be set to an overscan mode; and
a reflecting unit to reflect the display mode, which is set by the setting unit, on settings of the first operating system software.
4. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium on which is recorded a program for causing a processing unit to execute a control process for setting a display resolution of a computer, the control process comprising:
determining, before an operation for accepting terms and conditions of a license agreement of a first operating system software to be installed on the computer is performed, whether a digital interface connects the computer to a television and whether a display mode of the television is an overscan mode;
setting, when the determining determines that a digital interface connects the computer to a television and the display mode of the television is an overscan mode, a display mode of a second operating system software or a set of software tools corresponding to the first operating system software to be set to an overscan mode; and
reflecting the display mode, which is set by the setting, on settings of the first operating system software.
5. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 4 , wherein
the reflecting reflects the display mode on the first operating system software when the television, which is connected to the digital interface, is changed to another television while a processing operation is being performed on the first operating system software.
6. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium on which is recorded a program for causing a processing unit to execute a control process for setting a display resolution of a computer, the control process comprising:
determining, before an operation for accepting terms and conditions of a license agreement of a first operating system software to be installed on the computer is performed, whether a digital interface connects the computer to a monitor and whether a display mode of the monitor is an overscan mode;
setting, when the determining determines that a digital interface connects the computer to a monitor and the display mode of the monitor is an overscan mode, a display mode of a second operating system software or a set of software tools corresponding to the first operating system software to be set to an overscan mode; and
reflecting the display mode, which is set by the setting, on settings of the first operating system software.
7. A resolution setting method of a computer, the method comprising:
determining, before an operation for accepting terms and conditions of a license agreement of a first operating system software to be installed on the computer is performed, whether a digital interface connects the computer to a television and whether a display mode of the television is an overscan mode;
setting, when the determining determines that a digital interface connects the computer to a television and the display mode of the television is an overscan mode, a display mode of a second operating system software or a set of software tools corresponding to the first operating system software to be set to an overscan mode; and
reflecting the display mode, which is set by the setting, on settings of the first operating system software.
8. The resolution setting method according to claim 7 , wherein
the reflecting reflects the display mode on the first operating system software when the television connected to the digital interface is changed to another television while a processing operation is being performed on the first operating system software.
9. A resolution setting method of a computer, the method comprising:
determining, before an operation for accepting terms and conditions of a license agreement of a first operating system software to be installed on the computer is performed, whether a digital interface connects the computer to a monitor and whether a display mode of the monitor is an overscan mode;
setting when the determining determines that a digital interface connects the computer to a monitor and the display mode of the monitor is an overscan mode, a display mode of a second operating system software or a set of software tools corresponding to the first operating system software to be set to an overscan mode; and
reflecting the display mode, which is set by the setting, on settings of the first operating system software.
