My screen is magnified/too big

Community salvation;

Recently, I replaced my hard drive (old caught a virus), and now the display (desktop and Web pages) is too big for the screen. The only way I can see any part of the perimeter is too move slider all the way to the left (etc.) to bring the party with a view. Any ideas on how I can reduce my screen fits my screen? Thank you.

(using Dell PC with XP monitor & emachines)

  • The screen visuals are too big

    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'

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/remove-update#1TC=Windows-7

    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.

    Hi Rangerlone88,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    Do you get the display only problem with the games online, or also on the desktop?

    What browser do you use to go online?

    If you use Internet Explorer, you can check the level of zoom in the bottom right of the screen and set it to your liking.

    You can also try to optimize Internet Explorer.

    1. Open Internet Explorer.
    2. Click Security, and then click delete browsing history.
    3. In delete the browsing history area, click Remove.

    A progress bar is displayed to indicate that the browsing history is currently disabled. Once this process is complete, test Internet Explorer to verify that it works correctly.

    To learn more about optimizing Internet Explorer, follow the link.

  • My screen is too big for my screen and I can't fix it

    For some reason, my screen is now too big for my screen. I can see is over the top (File, edit, minimize, close) or down (the Start button, the clock) at the same time without having to move my mouse in these articles. But it's not fair when I use the internet. That's all the time. When I try to change the resolution, it doesn't change what I see on my screen and I do not see how much of it. Restart do no good either. I have an Eee PC Netbook, model 1005HA. It is brand new. Can anyone think what I can try? Thank you!

    In fact, I realized what it was. Apparently, my screen was changed into a different mode, to do this. How he got that way, I don't know, but it's fixed now. Thank you!

  • Everything on the screen is too big

    having a problem with the size of the screen can see everything on the screen, it is too big

    do not know how to set the size of the screen everything is too big

    If you speak together, this can sometimes be corrected by adjusting the display settings.  Go to start / Control Panel / customization / display settings / advanced settings / list all Modes and select a different option.  Those with a higher number usually result in images on-screen snakker (and text smallerr).  Test to see if it helps with your problem.  Once you find that you like, click OK and then again in the program.  Windows will now use this new display with all screens and programs setting.

    You can also view the post of dwanachitchat in http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistaappearance/thread/73caab07-bfb5-4640-b039-d78797b9c2d4.  It's the opposite problem, but you just need to do things the other way to make smaller things.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Is the screen on the iMac 27 "too big?

    Is the screen on the iMac 27 "too big?

    Ultimately you can answer this question. Personally, I use an iMac 27-inch (not the retina) and I am very satisfied with the screen. It is useful to take the time to get the speed of the mouse you will find it more convenient, balancing the distance the bar has to travel against the speed of the movement. otherwise I had no complaints about it. If you are in a very small space, I guess it might be a bit problematic.

    If you look at an Apple store, don't forget they look still more small in the shop!
