Question Posted Thursday February 8 2007, 7:12 pm

I have windows 98 [woah, wicked old, i know]
and when i went to go turn on my laptop EVERYTHING became re-sized, like the toolbar, webpages, icons, ect. and it's like ginormous.
i've tried going through properties and trying to fix it, but nothing works.
help me?
thanks,
:]

Luckily, this is a very simple problem to solve. When this happens to use, it means that the screen resolution has been made bigger (in your case), and sometimes it will become smaller. Either way, there is only one way to fix this. Go into your Control Panel, and click on "Display." After you've done that, click on "Settings." Now, you should see screen resolution. Apply the screen resolution that you would like, it can be the one you had before or a new one.

You will preview it first, after changed. And then, you will be asked to confirm it. If you do not like that screen resolution, click "No." And find one that you do like.

It sounds like you need to change the screen resolution. Right click the desktop on nothing in particular and select properties. Go to the display properties tab and click settings. Move the slider to the right as far as you can(your screen might not support the higher resolutions). If you can't get it higher, try lowering the color quality, on that same window, and then move the slider again. If this doesn't help you should try [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) or [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) , since most people here are 15 year old girls that don't know a thing about computers.
