If your screen resolution is too high you will find that the text or images on your screen may be too small. If your screen resolution is too low you may find that the text or images are too large. This is how to change your resolution to how you would like it :

Click Start / Settings / Control Panel

Then double click the "Display" Icon. The Display Properties window will now popup.

Click on the Settings Tab.


Display Properties



Towards the bottom right corner of this window you will see "Screen Area" and a sliding control underneath it.

Drag the sliding control to the left to lower your resolution, or drag it to the right to increase your resolution.

Click Apply when you have the resolution adjusted to a level you would like.

A popup will then appear explaining that your screen may flicker whilst the resolution changes and that your desktop will be redrawn (resized).

Once the screen is redrawn Windows will ask you whether you would like to keep the new settings you have just changed, or would like to return to the old settings.
