My computer's Screen will not come up, why?

Bought new monitor. It says to use a screen resolution of 1024 x 768, which i did. But now web sites r tiny.?

  • What do I do? If I reduce the resolution, the letters become more fuzzy, but they do fill up the screen. But I like the nice clear crisp higher resolution, cause it is so much clearer. But the web sites come up tiny, like only filling half the screen instead of the full screen. So how can I use this high resolution and still get the web pages to show up full screen? Yeah, I'm new at computers. I'm old. Ok? Old. We didn't have this stuff when I was young, and I'm just learning. Yup, very old guy who doesn't know much about computers. (But I could probably fix your car!, so I'm not dumb!). Just old. HELP!

  • Answer:

    on internet explorer, go to "view"..."text size"..."larger" or "largest" for icons on your desktop, right click on the desktop to get your system's display properties...go to "appearance"...click on "effects"...check "use large icons" or you can also go to "settings"...click on "advanced"...there, change your display's dpi settings from 96 to something higher like 120

Click open your Internet Explore or any web browser. Then hold onto "Ctrl" key on your keyboard while scrolling backward the wheel (in between left and right clicks) on your mouse. This is increase the font size and make the web page look bigger. Scroll forward while holding down the "Ctrl" key to srink the size. GOOD Luck and have fun!

In your internet browser, at the top, click on View, then click on Text size, and make it larger.

That's the point of high resolution, to fit more on your screen. You get used to the websites looking small after a while. Give it some time. I use 1600 X 1200 resolution and medium sized text.

go to control panel/display/setting/advanced and set the dpi higher. and also go to appearance and increase the size of font you want

Well, good for you - I welcome old geezers like you any day - am am proud to say that I am one, too! We can't let the young whippersnappers have the dibs on all of the FUN, can WE? HEHEHEHE! You can fix my car ANY day!!!!!!!! Well back to your question, you don't have to change your monitor resolution - just do what most here are saying, change the character size, instead. There is a reason why the resolution has to be set to a certain size and to change it may be harmful to other programs and the system configuration. Programs not viewing correctly, weird color changes, flickering, power problems, ..etc. It is best not to change it if you can help it.
