desktop is too large when starting Windows 98
When I start Windows 98, the text and icons on my desktop
are much too large. I have tried everything I can think of from the Settings and Display menu. Nothing works. Almost by accident, I discovered that if I start a game which I downloaded from MSN Games (and paid for), when I exit the game, the text and icons on the desktop are restored to their correct size. It works, but it's inconvenient. How do I get them to appear in the correct size when I start up? |

Right-click a blank part of the desktop and choose Properties and then
Settings. Move the screen area slider one notch to the right (larger screen area). A larger screen area means that icons and text are smaller. If this is not the change you are looking for, post back with a more detailed description of the problem. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (DTS) "bjk" wrote in message ...
