51526 2002-05-30 02:35:00 After mucking about with the various settings in my computer all went well until I now find the drop down viewing panels eg Dial up connection or the Outlook Express checking for new messages,are nearly twice the size they were.
I now cant find the setting to reduce these back to the size they were. Please tell me. Thanks.

51528 2002-05-30 06:20:00 Hi Sam. I went into My Computer/Control Panel/Display and then the settings in display properties. I really got fouled up in there and had to call on a friend to help me out. However I thought everything was back to normal but I am left with these drop down panels referred to being much larger than they were. Guest (0)

51530 2002-05-30 08:12:00 Hi Roger. The monitor is a 15inch but I dont know what settings you are referring to.Most of the area I got into trouble was the settings in display properties eg Message Box, active title buttons, menu and so on. I just thought I must have clicked something inadvertently to create the this little problem. It is no big deal I just wondered where I had gone wrong. Guest (0)
51531 2002-05-30 11:08:00 It sounds like you changed your screen size. Click on start/settings/control panel/display/settings.
Check that screen size is not on lowest setting. I use 600 x 400 pixel setting.Then click on apply and screen will resize & ask if you want to keep that size setting.

You could even try 1024*768.


In the Advanced part of Settings you can change the font size to suit. Although this may be a part of my vid card properties!

51533 2002-05-31 02:16:00 Hi folks. Thanks for all your suggestions. Unfortunately none of them helped.As I said above it is no big deal and maybe one day I will stumble over the setting which affects those drop down panels. I did not change the pixel setting as this has always been 800*600.
Thanks again I appreciate your time in trying to be helpful. Maybe next time we will have more success
