Guest xp via WindowsKB.com Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 It seems that on my XP pro system, I can't make my screen smaller. I have tried going to settings and tried to set the resolution, but It won't let me. What do I do? -- XP Message posted via http://www.windowskb.com

(r-h column) Restore All Display Tabs 2. "Restart in Safe mode. When your computer restarts, it will be running in VGA (640x480, 16-color) mode. You can now reset your display settings by right-clicking the desktop, clicking Properties, and then clicking Settings. If the resolution you want to select is not available, choose another resolution (anything but 640x480, 16-color), and let Windows restart. The full set of resolutions and color depths will be available after you restart your computer." 3. Go to http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_d.htm and scroll down to the section on Display Settings for many helpful suggestions and links. -- Joe =o)
