I changed resolution, now what?

Mo Trooper · 04-09-2002, 09:13 AM

Here's a general computer question. I changed my display from 800x600 to 1024x768, in order to get the minimize mode to work in STB. Now here's my question....

When I did this, my internet browser, and all of the websites writing and taskbar are smaller, almost too difficult to read without straining. How can I get everything the same size as it was when I was in the 800x600 mode. I found how to make the fonts larger, but it makes things out wack. I don't know if I explained this well, but if anyone knows what I'm talking about, I could use some help. Thanks

Yup - adjusting the font is is the way to go. It will seem slightly different for a short while but you'll get used to it quickly.

Mo Trooper see if this helps.

on your desktop right click mouse,
then click properties, then click settings.
You should see the option to change resolution
leave that and just click advanced. Then click on larger fonts. These are instructions for Win 98
If you are using Windows me, or XP then you basically need to get to the option where you can change your Fonts from smaller to larger.
