How to change screen resolution?

How can I change the resolution on my screen? (More complex than it sounds)?

  • THIS QUESTION IS MORE COMPLEX THAN IT SEEMS. I know how to change the resolution, (This is Windows XP) I just go Desktop>Properties>Appearance, and change the resolution or whatever..BUT Last week my computer broke..the hard drive was ruined but it's been fixed up now, however the screen is now stretched slightly, it's too large.. if that makes sense, and all the other options for a change in resolution don't look right... So yea.. how do I get back to the resolution it had originally? I'm not sure of the size of my screen, sorry about the badly worded question

  • Answer:

    hi Have u installed your graphics drivers and monitor drivers once u install them ull have all the resolution options that ur monitor and graphics card support in properties.

Hi!! Its too common.. 1) Have u installed the video drivers that came in a CD along with ur PC...Kindly do it... 2) Once done with it, u will get more options in ur Display Properties->Settings...Set it to 800 x 600 or any desirable size. Else Try to adjust the font size in Display properties-> Appearance.. Cheers
