Help! Everything on my display is HUGE!
I had to create a new desktop, after I lost my taskbar installing a game for my son.

But now everything is enormous! I've tried using the smalles font, changing the screen res, and neither worked. I can't figure out what's going on!

1. Did you install the video driver for your video card?
You might try reinstalling the video driver for your video card then resetting the resolution the way you want. What operating system are you running? XP? In almost all Windows you can go to My Computer and right click, properties, select the hardware tab and click on Device Manager. Click on the plus sign next to Video Adapter and see what the name for your video card is. Post back.

2. Thanks for answering my post.
The video card never loaded properly after we bought a new hard drive in February.

Mr GoG decided to buy a new computer so we can get our work done, and we'll play around with the old one on the side. Hopefully we'll figure out what's wrong with it and have a good spare. :-)

3. It sounds like the video driver isn't installed properly.
You need to find out what video card you have and download and install the drivers for it. Then you can adjust the resolution.
