Hi Ann, try going into 'Control Panel' Click on 'change screen resolution' Under 'Settings' you should be able to change the screen resolution or trouble shoot the problem

Ann. next to the clock somewhere, do you have a icon, looks like a monitor screen? If so right click on it and it may open up an options menu....for screen resolutions or in control panel may be under Graphics options Bob

Hi Ann :):) To change resolutions you would need to do the following : First right-click on the desktop and then left click on Properties from the menu that appears. Click on the settings tab at the top right of the box... Screen Resolution. This slide bar is what you use to change the resolution, the options you have will depend on your graphics card and monitor, but the standard options are 800x600, 1024x768, 1152x864, 1240x1024, 1400x1050... To change your resolution simply slide the bar along to the resolution (what resolution) of your choice and then click the Apply button. After clicking Apply your screen will resize to the new resolution and you will be presented with a confirm dialogue box , if you are happy with the way your screen looks then simply click Yes, if you would like to try a different resolution click No. When you have finished simply close the Display properties box. Hope this helps Colin :):)
