  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/change-screen-resolution

  Change the screen resolution

  Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

  For example, 640 × 480 is a lower screen resolution, and 1600 × 1200 is higher. CRT monitors generally display a resolution of 800 × 600 or 1024 × 768. LCD monitors can better support the higher resolutions. If you can increase your screen resolution depends on the size and capability of your monitor and the type of video card you have.

  Text and images are sharper and smaller at high screen resolutions
  Text is larger and easier to read at low screen resolutions, but images are rasterized and number of items adapted to the screen

  1. Open display settings by clicking on the button start , by clicking on Control Panel, appearance and personalization, clickingPersonalization and then clicking display settings.

  2. Under resolution, move the slider to the desired resolution, then clickApply.

  

  Notes

  • When you change the screen resolution, it affects all users who log on the computer.

  • When you set your monitor to a screen resolution that it will not support, the screen will go black for a few seconds while the monitor returns to the original resolution

• How to remove the desktop icon after you have uninstalled program.

  I uninstalled a program and then tried to put the icon on the desktop to the trash.  I get an error message that says that the program cannot be found and try again.  How can I get rid of the icon?

  Hello

  Reboot and see if the icon is still there. If so, try the following:

  Go to control panel/Folder Options, view tab, set the options so that you can see the hidden files and folders and show protected operating system files. You should now be able to see a desktop desktop.ini file. Delete and restart. See if that helps.
