Screen Area - to larger size

I slid the conrolfor my screen size from 800x 600 pixels
to the smallest size - and clicked on apply - now - I
realise I made a BAD decision and I need to slide it back
up to 800 x 600 pixels -b but when the grey box comes up
and I click on Settings - the greybox is too large and
APPLY is not in view - so I cannot click on APPLY to have
the change made back?

Can someone please help - "dummy mumma" ?

Thanks - I await your command

if you reboot to "safe mode" (tapping F8 while booting) the screen will go
back to 640X480 and should let you reset to what you want.

Hi,

Can you click OK? Or just hit enter after setting the slider. You'll
porbably get the blurb about windows is resizing, blah, blah; click ok
to that or hit enter again. So you know, clicking "OK" means apply the
changes and close the dailogue box, clicking "Apply" means apply the
changes but leave the dialogue box open.

Hi,

No, in safe mode you are restricted to 640x480 and 16 colors. You cannot
make adjustments to it.

hit A for apply

Aside from all the good advice from the others.
Open desktop properties. Click on settings tab. Click on
advance button at bottom. In the "display" check " show
settings icon on taskbar" Then any screen res. change can
be done from taskbar.
