Right click on your desktop and click "properties"\nA "Display Properties" box will pop up.  Click "Settings"\nScroll your screen resolution to the setting you want.\n\nThe higher the pixels, the smaller everything will be on the screen.

Right click on your desktop, click properties, click the settings tab, adjust screen resolution.  I'd start at 1024x768 first and then try 1280x1024 and see which one looks the best.  Color quality should be at least 16 bit up to 32 bit.  just play with it and see which one you like best.\n\nyou can also reach these settings by following the instructions the other answer gave you.

Looks like you need to change your display settings.  Click on your START button, then choose CONTROL PANEL, then select DISPLAY, then under SETTINGS tab, you need to change your resolution.  I hope this helps :-)

I'm assuming you are running windows XP.  Right click on the desktop, click properties, select the settings tab, Click on monitor 2, click extend my desktop onto this montor and then set the resolution.

Did you accidently change the settings of your desktop appearance? Right Click on your desktop and click Properties. Click on the Settings Tab on top. Now below you will see the Display type and then Screen Resolution. Trying making that a little bigger by moving the little bar to the right. See if that fixes your problem.

Try adjusting your display settings in Control Panel.

Try changing your display settings.\nStart, control panel, display, settings, then pick your screen resolution. Largest is 800 x 600. \nHope this helps, and I will look for more options.\nGary

If you are in Windows, you should be able to re-size your screen using the "Display Properties" to adjust your screen.  You can get there through the Control Panel in the Stat Menu (or by RIGHT clicking your mouse anywhere on the desktop).\n\nIn the Display Properties you need to select Settings.  There should be a slider there that allows you to set the screen resolution.\n\nAlso, depending on what type of video card you have, there may be a way to actually move and re-size your screen through other software.\n\nIf you are trying to do this to the monitor itself, you will need to figure out what buttons (or knobs on older models) can be used to adjust the vertical and horizontal settings.\n\nBE CAREFUL not to adjust the frequency settings unless you know which ones are supported.  You can ruin your monitor.  Adjusting the size should have no ill effects whatsoever.

You probably need to install/update your video card driver.  Go to your manufacturers website and download the most current driver for your model and OS.  Install it and see what happens.  It may update itself automatically or give you more resolutions to choose from.

Since it is not loading any drivers (Therefore being safe) you cannot adjust the resolution.

I would guess that you are running to high a resolution. Try running in safe mode, to do that restart your system but when it says its loading Windows, start hitting F8. From there select safe mode, then when windows is loaded, right click on the desktop and change the resolution to either 800x600 or you could try 640x480. if those do not work, you may have a problem with your monitor. How old is the monitor? Maybe the monitor cant handle the video card.

The kids have probably changed the settings.  Right click on the desktop and select properties, then Settings and drag the screen resolution.  You might have to do this several times until its the size you want.

I'm assuming you right-clicked on your desktop and did Properties, then went to the Settings tab and tried to change the slider for the resolution?  If you do know how to change the resolution which I think you do, then have you installed the proper drivers for your graphics card?  You should be able to grab them from the manufactures website.  How long as your resolution been stuck at 640x480?  Just curious if you recently reinstalled Windows, or what might have caused it.
