Leave the resolution where it is and look at the appearance tab in display properties.....look for icon in the list and change its size. Lots of other settings here too! Arrange yer brains out!

Go to your desktop and right-click on a blank space....click on properties and select "settings" and adjust your screen to 1028x768 Pixels and that should solve your problem.\n\nGood luck

Sit farther back? ;P\n\nFor the words, make the text smaller if you're using the internet. That might help. On the desktop issue, you're going to need to find a hi res image for your desktop, or it's going to pixilate when the computer scales it up. If the desktop icons are giving you greif... well, fiddle with the resolution more? \n\nHope that helps.

if you want to ensure optimal performance, you should replace screen with orginal size and type.  not only that, not every screen will fit as far as screw holes, connectors, etc.  And for the price you will pay for a replacement lcd screen nowadays, it is cheaper just to buy a new laptop.  my screen went out on my "old" laptop, 1.3 ghs, not that old, but it would have been 500 to fix whereas I bought a brand spanking new laptop that kicks ass for 800.

That happens sometimes on mine. You should be able to right-click the icon in the taskbar and Maximize or Resize it. It's probably more of an XP than a Dell problem.

The kids have probably changed the settings.  Right click on the desktop and select properties, then Settings and drag the screen resolution.  You might have to do this several times until its the size you want.

I have the same issue with mine, I am not sure of what can be done yet, as I have taken mine apart and checked all the connections / cables pertaining this this LCD problem. However,Your laptop can still work with an external monitor. So for a short term fix you need to acquire another monitor / LCD Monitors are reasonably priced now.\nUntil we find the real fix....

Right-Click on the desktop and select "Properties".\nGo to the last tab, "Settings" - the one on the right. \nYou will note a slider bar. Move the slider, so that it would display something like 1024 by 768 (or higher).\nThis will definitely work! Good luck!

It might be a single resolution burned out of the screen. I hope I'm wrong. The screens are so cheap now, I doubt it's worth fixing..Good Luck.

Is this laptop new (like maybe only a few months old)?\nIf not then you might need to update you're video driver, or reinstall it.\n\nIf still nothing, goto control panel, click display.\nGoto the last tab and click the advanced button.\nAt that point I really can't help you too much, just find something that talks about a 2nd screen/monitor.

Go to Control Panel, display, then Settings tab and set it for MORE screen resolution, then apply it see if that does it for you.
