It seems that on my XP pro system, I can't make my screen smaller. I have

What do I do?
How does it "won't let me"? Does it state that "you can't do that"?
Does it change till you reboot?
Ah, then maybe one of these will help:

Line 285. (r-h column) Restore All Display Tabs
2. "Restart in Safe mode. When your computer restarts, it will be
running in VGA (640x480, 16-color) mode. You can now reset your display
settings by right-clicking the desktop, clicking Properties, and then
clicking Settings. If the resolution you want to select is not
available, choose another resolution (anything but 640x480, 16-color),
and let Windows restart. The full set of resolutions and color depths
will be available after you restart your computer."
3. Go to

section on Display Settings for many helpful suggestions and links.
