Everything on my screen is too big and too broad.
Have the you fixed it yet? I have the same problem during an update, I've been on full screen and now my screen is too large
Hi Shilohgold,
Generally, this problem is caused because of the video card related questions. I would like to know some information about this problem so that we can help you further.
1 update you are trying to install? (Mention the number of KB)
2. do you get any error code or error message?
Try the following steps to verify that update failed recently.
a. press Windows + Q keys.
b. type view update history in the search option.
c. click view update history .
d. research update failed recently.
I suggest you try to update the video card drivers from the Web site of the manufacturer of the computer or from Windows Update and check if it works for you. This has the same step in troubleshooting provided in the original post, but here I add steps so that it can be easy for you to update the drivers.
See Microsoft Help next to update a hardware driver that is not working properly.

Suggestions as to how I can get the screen is smaller. I also play hearts, spades and crib. These screens are also too big, but it is not cut off from the important things.
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.
- Open Internet Explorer.
- Click Security, and then click delete browsing history.
- 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.

my shortcut icons on screen are too big, how to shrink them?
All of a sudden the shortcut icons on my opening page is huge, they take the entire screen. How can I back the way they were?
Have a mouse with a scroll wheel?
With all applications at least reduced - so you can see your desktop and all the icons - left click on an empty space on the desktop. That will make sure this is what is under discussion. Then, hold down your CTRL key on your keyboard (or other) and scroll the mouse wheel to make the icons smaller and up to do the most. Stop when you are satisfied.

When I zoom to fill the screen, the window develops under the layers panel. Is there a way to stop on the Panel and not under it?
Hi lesmuse,
Welcome to the forum. Looks like you need to learn how to manage your panels in Photoshop. Here's a video that shows you how to organize and reorganize your dashboards:
It might help to learn more about the use of the zoom so tool. This video, work with the Zoom tool, is part of a set of videos on Adobe TV, which will get you places and running in Photoshop.
I hope this helps!

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'

'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.
