I'm sharing a computer with an unusual video monitor instead of a standard
PC
monitor. Monitor is super-wide and a bit of screen image is lost at top or
bottom.

So as not to hide essential parts of the Desktop,
adjust screen area (dots per inch) to ensure all
the Desktop remains on screen. You reach this
by right clicking on any empty patch of Desktop,
select Properties, then
select / Settings / Screen area

1. For speed of trials, go first to
/ Select / Advanced / General
and check the box for instant settings adjustment
(without rebooting the PC, which takes extra time,
40 too 100 seconds.) Some monitors do not like
this i.e. require reboot.

2. in / Settings / Screen area you slide the pointer
horizontally to the desired setting. E.g.
old VGA standard is 640 x 480 pixels
but I use for choice 1024 x 768.
If your monitor accepts resetting without rebooting
you can experiment until you find a Screen Area
setting that hides no essential part of the Desktop.

3. Then check that your video adapter (card) drivers
are the most recent -- usually done by identifying the
adapter make and model no. ( via / Control Panel / Device Manager)
and downloading from the manufacturer's web site.

4. When you are sure drivers are up to date (for your
OS) go to step 2 and find the best setting for permanent use.
