Display is tiny
Hi there. Restored my system with rescue disks (don't
ask) and had more ram and new video card putin ,then downloaded the latest win updates. Then noticed my desktop did not fit to the edges of the screen, there was a black strip all the way around the edge. So right clicked desktop, went to properties, settings and adjusted the screen area, now my display fits to the edge of my monitor but the pop up dialogue boxes, tool bars, icons etc are really miniture. Tried more and less screen area, but it seems to shift from one extreme to the other with no in-between. Any ideas as the size is toooo small. PS have managed to get larger icons and some toolbars a bit larger, but by no means all 100%. Thanks in anticipation. |

WinME is optimized for 800x600; I use 1600x1200 so I've had to do that alot, too... other places to look are under the 'Appearance' tab (adjust the windows border sizes and fonts) and in Settings/Advanced/General (adjust the font size).
