CsrLiz344 Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 I had to reformat my comp (windows xp home) and now everything from the welcome screen to download boxes to aim, is super small. Even this page is tiny. I don't remember this being this way before, what the heck?? Is there a way to make everything bigger? I went to the desktop, right clicked, properties, appearances. Nothing there helped. Help, I'm getting a headache trying to read this stuff.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tenmm Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 looks to me like you need to reinstall the driver for you video card.If this is a dell or H.P. with onboard you will need to use the recovery CD that came with your PC.If this is a homemade then go to the video card/onboard manufacture and down load the newest driver for your video.

macmarauder Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 yeah it's probably just your screen resolution. sometimes on fresh installs it resets the screen resolution to another setting. try what murtu52 said and let us know what your screen resolution currently is. most people like it around 800 X 600 or 1024 X 768.

sabremike21 Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 (chuckles) LOLwe've all have days like that. definately. I can count a few of those days myself. I have a problem with my resolution but its only when i shut it off and then turn it back on. When i turn it back on the screen is so small about the size of a 9" monitor... i have to then go into the settings everytime i turn my comp back on and change the resolution to 1280 1024 then back to 1024 768 just to get it to fit the screen again... Anyone have any ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
