Monitor display settings are too big

I went to the settings display and changed the settings of the monitor.  The display is now so important that I can't see my Start button, taskbar and icons on the desktop.  I can open the Explorer (because I accidentally found this icon) but if I have the minimize, I don't see the new window even when I use alt + ESC.  I can't start using the keyboard windows key.

I can right click on the desktop and extract options view, refresh, etc.  but I can't click on properties and see the window which would normally come to the top.

I also tried to turn the computer off and on and pressing F8 to get the computer to start in safe mode, nothing works.

I can't view anything that I need to correct my error.

I have a second monitor, I thought to hang, do not know if it works.

Is there anything else I can try?

Hello

Right click on the desktop and the menu, press the arrow up once and press . This should get the display options to the top (customization). Initially, touch six times, then to open the display you settings have changed.

To move the box around the screen so that you can access the settings, press alt + space + m, then use the arrows until it is where you want, and then click . You should be able to cancel your changes here.

Alternatively, press the Windows key on your keyboard and type "System Restore" and click Enter, choose a date to restore before you make the changes. Good luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Crazy" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com Windows help - www.rickrogers.org

    This fixit?

    Have you tried to make the resolution equal to the native resolution of your screen?

    Right-click on an empty part of your desktop, and then click Properties. Click on the settings tab, drag the slider to the right. This should give the native resolution of your monitor. If not you may need to get the latest drivers for the graphics card.

    If that makes things too small, you can try to slide to the left to get a lower resolution but I suggest using only a resolution that maintains the same ratio as the native resolution of your screen.

  • The screen visuals are too big

    After stopping for the night, a ' install updates and shut down ' was launched. The next day, newspaper on desktop, to all the screens of the site web, etc., Visual of the screen are too big. How can I get this back to fix the little plus size.

    Hello

    Microsoft gives sometimes you updates for the 3rd party hardware: graphics, network cards, etc.

    You should only get the latest drivers for them to real hardware manufacturer's website, as Microsoft normally does nor those have the most recent drivers available as Microsoft relies of the 3rd party hardware Manufactuer to provide.

    But unfortunately, the only way to know which is the update of the problem is to install them one by one, until you find the 'wrong' for your installation.

    You can do a system restore to get back until it has been installed (which is NOT the best way to remove an update) or follow this method:

    'Remove an update'

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/remove-an-update

    'Remove an update - Windows 7'

    Or the other of these two update settings will give you the chance to see what you want to install through Windows updates;

    Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Windows will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.

    Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want. This option should really be reserved for people who know exactly which updates they need, or those who have little access to the Internet.

    But remember you normally only have problems with hardware 3rd party drivers. Other updates are to improve the performance and security of your system.

    You can also go to the website of the manufacturer of the graphics card or your computer > Search a drivers and download article > search your computer or your graphics card model number > your operating system > drivers for it: is video / graphics / Chipset (according to the label) > download and install the drivers.

  • The icons are too big for the screen

    Hello

    Everything on my computer screen seems too big. From the icons, texts, programs like chrome (pages are inside the window more). I do not change the display settings recently, and I did the updates. It happened suddenly, out of the blue.

    I tried to change the resolution, but it lists only two possible resolutions, 1024 x 768 and 800 x 600. Even when I change, it make no impact.

    What should I do?

    Use a monitor dell with graphics card: adapter Standard VGA Graphics chipset graph mobile/desktop Intel R (HSW) device.

    OS: Windows 7 professional, 64-bit

    Original title: everything seems too big on my computer

    The fact that you have only two resolutions would indicate that the game graphics chip driver is not properly installed.

    The Standard VGA adapter is the rescue driver Windows for what specific cannot be identified or are not available.

    Depending on the hardware of the computer go to the manufacturer's website, search for your particular system, download and install the graphics driver. The screen itself is not relevant.

  • Have W2071d monitor, display settings do not allow non-native resolution matrices

    '' Recommended '' this monitor width setting is 1600 X 900, but when I go to the "Display" dialog box, the only options available to me are that were available using my old monitor.

    The monitor "selected" for common use (under "Advanced"-> tab monitor in the "Display settings" dialog box) is dangerously just labeled "Default monitor", and while the system produces to the monitor, it only does these original native resolutions, so that, under factory settings, the image is stretched horizontally to a significant degree, and when I put it to adapt to the proportions rather He's a little blur hired on small fonts/texts during the largest possible display setting, almost as if I ask it to produce makes me superior to output 1-to-1 ratio of pixels and the entire surface of the monitor is not being used anyway.

    In any case, the button/dialog box 'Properties' is not yet available on the tab 'monitor' breast, so I can't try to update the driver. I don't really know what to do at this point. In addition, the computer now tells me whenever I start that he detected new hardware connected, but it may not recognise, does not support installation at home, but whenever I try to point it to the drivers it tells me that the file contain no information about my hardware device.

    VGASave is the 'default' for Windows XP driver if there is no other driver available for the system. It is possible that some sort of error, or maybe an automatically Windows Update installed, breaking your graphics card driver. I would certainly try reinstall the driver as a first step of troubleshooting.
