The print on my screen is huge. I don't know if it a problem with windows xp
or of my monitor. Anyway I can't figure how to change it back to normal.
Thanks

Right click on the desktop.
Click "Properties" in the popup menu.
Click the "Settings" tab.
Move the "Screen Resolution" slider on notch to the right and click "Apply".
Accept the new setting if prompted and your happy with it, if your not satisfied don't accept the new setting and move the slider one more notch to the right.
Continue until your satisfied.
Ok your way out.

If you can not move the slider to get a better resolution, click on the dropdown arrow at the right of the "Color Quality" dropdown list.
Select "Highest (32 bit)" and click "Apply".
Go through the steps to set your screen resolution if needed.

If the dropdown list does not have "Highest (32 bit)" as a selection, click on the "Advanced" button at the bottom of the Settings configuration window.
Click the "Adapter" tab to see what is installed as your video/graphic device.

If it shows to be a Default Standard VGA device, you'll need to reinstall/update your video drivers for the video adapter/chip. Go to the PC manufacturers support site to download/install the latest updated drivers per their instructions for your device. If they do not have proper drivers for your device, go to the manufacturers support site of the video adapter/chip to download/install the latest updated drivers per their instructions for your device.
