right click on your desktop and click properties.  Click the settings tab, then advanced button.  then click the monitor tab.  use the drop down arrow to select the highest refresh rate that your monitor will use.  if you select one that is too high your monitor will turn off for 15 seconds.\nhigher refresh rates are better for your eyes\n\nthere should be some buttons on the front of your monitor.  play with these buttons to change the size of your screen, so you have less borders on your monitor,\nthe basic proccess for this is go through a menu to get to a certain type of ajustment, say, making the screen bigger vertically, then either plus or minus it.   other settings are to rotate, make it not buldge on teh sides. and others\n\nif you want more space on your desktop, right click on the desktop and click properties. then click the settings tab, and slide the slider bar to the right. if your monitor does not support the setting it will turn off for 15 seconds or so

first try to adjust the screen size by using the tools on the screen itself. Then if that does not solve your problem, try to change your screen resolution by going to display properties >> settings. try it!!!!

this issue may occur if the desktop resolution is selected to low or the driver of the display is deleted or not installed.\n\nselect the resolution of the display at 32 bit. visit the following web site\n\nhttp://www.helpwithpcs.com/tipsandtricks/changing-screen-resolution-win-xp.htm

In Internet Explorer go to the top menu select View > Text Size and select Largest, then hit the F11 key to put IE in full screen mode.\n\nFor everything in Windows goto your desktop, right click on a blank area selct Properties.  The Display Properties window will appear, select the Appearance tab.  In the Scheme dropdown select any of the predefined schemes with the ending (Large) or (Extra Large).  You can also play around with the other dropdown selectors to change color size, etc..  You will see a preview of your changes on the same tab.

i have never seen this problem before - maybe you could be more detailed as to what it IS doing?\n\n//edit//\nafter seeing that picture, i believe i understand whats going on....play around with those dotted-line borders, and move them until you can see the taskbar window pane icons (the windows you have running and the windows you have up)\nbasically all that seems to have happened is that that specific part of the taskbar is being hidden due to the enlarged size of other parts (quick launch)\n\nif you still cant seem to get it, email me on superXero07@comcast.net, i should be able to help ya

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.

You should be able to adjust this with the display properties.\n\nRight-click your mouse on the desktop (any open area outside a window).\nSelect Properties on the menu.\nLeft-click the Settings tab.\nAdjust the screen resolution to get the 16:9 widescreen that you want.

Try this  (1) Right click your mouse (2) Select properties (3) Select setting (3) Where it says  screen area move the slider till it says 1024 by 768 pixels, then where it says colour select True colour (24bit). This worked for me. If this don't work then try this, Load Windows M.E disc and start it to install, you won't loose any thing that is already on your computer, but you may have to re-install some updates, as this resets all the Windows settings.\n Hope this helps
