Tool bars not fitting on screen no matter how we adjust

[Guest Stacy]

Wed 9/10, I saw the remove unused icon button come up and I clicked it to

close or thought I did. It popped back up so I hit o.k. It was starting the

wizard and I walked away. When I came back the screen was all distorted and

out of range. My computer guy tried rolling back the video driver and

adjusting settings from the monitor itself and settings with no luck. Low

resolution is the only way it fits or by not enlarging the windows. Was there

some download on 9/10 that would have affected it. My computer has 2003

drivers.

If only it was simple. Nothing seems to work. The only way to view my screen

is wiht 800 x 600 resolution. Any higher makes the toolbars like side bar and

back button not visible. We have tried everything. The monitor buttons won't

help adjust anything either.

Are you referring to Explorer, IE (Internet Explorer), or the Desktop?

I doubt the Desktop would have a "Back" button for any reason.. and few

use a sidebar on the Desktop either. There is a sidebar on IE, and a

CommonTasks bar in Explorer, so I guess you could be referring to one of

them.

 

If you have to scroll the Desktop within the screen resolution, that's

called "panning". If that's the problem, when you open Display

Properties, Settings tab, there might be two slide bars for Screen

Resolution. In that case, slide them both to the same resolution, so

panning won't be needed to see the complete screen.

 

If the monitor is an LCD monitor, there might be an Auto button to

resize the screen after a resolution change.
