Update your video drivers.

The first thing that I would do is re-install the video card drivers. \n\n(I would not rely on Windows to be correct, since you can't make changes, so if necessary, I wold open the Pc and determine the exact make and model of the video card.  If you have an onboard video adapater, then I would go to the manufactors web site to identify) \n\nOnce I installed new video drivers, I would check to make sure that the video card has the ability to change and display different video modes. (640X480, etc.) You can change that via the Adapters settings in the Display window. \n\nProperties: To access the hardware properties for your video card or on-board video hardware, click the Properties button. This is the same properties window that can be accessed through Device Manager. \nList all Modes: This useful feature lists all the supported graphic resolutions and refresh rates that can be sent to the monitor by the video card or on-board video hardware. You can use the list of valid modes to find a mode that is compatible with the monitor you are using. Once a compatible mode is found, you can change the refresh rate from the monitor tab, and the display resolution from the settings tab of the basic display properties window.

Seems obvious but have you tried to change the resolution? Sounds like you are running very high res, like 1600x1024. Check your setting for this if you haven't already. Right-click desktop and choose Properties from the menu, then go to the Settings tab, from there you can change the resolution. I would try 1152x864 see it your monitor will display this cleanly.\n\nAlso you can change the DPI setting to 120% of normal to increase font size. \n\nWhen you right-click the desktop and go to properties, under the setting tab you can choose the Advanced button and then go to General tab there you will see the DPI setting. Try changing it to 120% see if that is easier to see the fonts. If not you can go back into that setting and choose Custom and set it higher.

Turn down the frequency.  It's one of the options that you might be able to set from right clicking the desktop and going to properties.  It should be somewhere near setting monitor resolution.\n\nIf you can't even do that, try booting to Safe Mode upon bootup.

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

I'm assuming you know HOW to set resolution, so theres three possibilities:\n\n1) Video Card does not handle larger resolutions\n2) Monitor does not handle larger resolutions\n3) Video Drivers do not handle larger resolutions\n\nTry to download the newest video drivers first. Do a Yahoo! search for "<video card name> drivers", and find the manufacturers website. Download and install the newest possible.\n\nIf that doesn't help, your hardware is the problem. If your monitor is small and old, it is very likely the problem. Check the documentation if you still have it.\n\nOtherwisw it will be the video card. Again, check it's documentation for limits. You may have to replace this and/or the monitor.

Either adjust your monitors dimensions using the buttons on the monitor. Or right click the desktop and select properties then go to settings and change your resolution or perhaps you may need to resize the window that the picture is in. \n\nEither of the 3 above could be your problem.

Hi,\nThis is Bobby, a Network Engineer by profession. If you are talking about the Desktop Screen then press CTRL and ALT keys together, let the keys be pressed use the arrow keys to adjust the orientation of desktop in any of the four corners as you desire.\n\nAlternatively, right click on Desktop, goto Properties, then click on Settings.It will show option to change Screen Resolution and Colour Properties. Adjust the Screen Resolution Slider to increase or decrease the screen resolution, click on OK. Later you can rollback to yours previous screen resolution, if you desire.\n\nGood Luck... :):)
