Go to "Start" Button on the bottom of your Desktop (the display showing just before you log on to whatever on your computer) - Choose"Control Panel" - Click on Themes and Screens - a task bar will come up with a slide-arrow on it - make sure it's on the left side at lowest resolution - then click "OK" and that should do it -

I have a widescreen laptop that stretched photos and movies making everything look freaky! When I checked my display settings, they were set to 1024 x 768 instead of 1280 x 800. Once I changed the settings, everything was in proportion. Hope that helps!

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... :):)

Are you at full screen? If so hit F11 to reduce your screen size. there should be a restore button somewhere. That you should be able to see

It sounds like your monitor settings is off. You might want to change the settings on the monitor so that windows fits on your screen. When you click on maximize, it is supposed to do full screen according to your windows layout.

I hope I'm wrong, But if the bars that you are talking about are on both sides, that means that the circutry that explands the horizontal are defective... if it is a desktop, try a different monitor, probably you'll find out that the problem goes away, which only means that is time for an upgrade... if it is on a laptop... is even worse... you'd have to find someone to repair it... but like I said, hopefully I'm wrong...

If your mouse has a scrolly thing hold down the ctrl button and scroll down on the mouse. This works with websites and word documents if you want to change the screen resolution go to the desktop, right click and click properties then go to settings. From there you'll see a part that says "screen resolution move the scale. Less makes the screen bigger and more makes it smaller.

If you have a laptop then hold the FN key and push the button that looks like a monitor on one of the F keys prob. f3 or f4 dont know urs!?! lol! The S-vid is the one I have on My laptop... it's fine! Also go 2 the desktop and right click and choose properties. Then click settings or somthing then change the depth and somthin. Then try again. Maybe your cable's not in great shape... get another and try that. hope im the best answer!!! lol!

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.

just change your system resolution.. that will change the size you see

first, try restarting your computer, after restart if the letters that are too large are on everything on your computer then its possible that you have accidently enabled your sticky keys, go into your control panel and open accesibility, disable all of those funtions. if this does not fix the problem then you need to change the display settings by right clickin on your desktop and going to properties, when the new window opens goto settings tab and you will see a slide rule to change the size of your screen, be aware sometimes a monitor cant support the settings you apply, if it cant, and the screen goes funky, dont touch anything, if you havent accepted the new setting within 10 seconds windows will revert back to previous settings.

Ok my friend, first calm down, then dont worry about the laptop for now. I agree with Winvin that u need to take out the hard drive which has all ur important information in it. go to your nearest computer store and explain them what happened. the best thing would be an External Hard drive reader designed to read laptop size hard drive. you can retrive all the things in it and re save it on the desktop computer hard drive. then exess them from it\n\nORR... u can buy an other laptop similar to the one u r using and swap hard drives!!! return that laptop later. Goodluck\n\nThe reason for this might be internal problem inside the laptop, not power or batt.

Things you can do for a bigger window:\n1) Change screen resolution to larger (more) in display under the control panel.\n\n(alternate way to get there)\nstart > run > type: desk.cpl > click OK > choose settings tab > change the resolution to more. \n\nDon't worry if the screen goes blank and your monitor can't handle the greater resolution - the change Will be reversed  in 15 seconds unless you click "OK"\n\n2) Right click on the start menu > properties > auto hide task bar.\n\n3) While in the program, normally you can hit key Fll or go to view choose full screen if you need more space.
