| 539773 | 2007-04-10 10:59:00 | Have this friend with Win98 on her pc.The icons are enormous on her 17in screen, and when I try and alter the screen settings, the window that opens with right click/properties on the desktop to go and change screen resolution is too large to click the apply button.If I drag it up as far as I can without loosing the top that you drag it by,still no joy. Any way to make the screens smaller? |

| 539774 | 2007-04-10 11:03:00 | Try updating the graphic drivers and then see if you can use a higher resolution. Even 1024x768 would help instead of 800x600 (which I am guessing it is on?) | Jen (38) | ||
| 539775 | 2007-04-10 11:11:00 | I can't remember too much about 98, but does the window have a 'minimise' button... the middle of the three buttons at the top... sometimes that will shrink the window enough in the screen to be able to move it around. Apart from that Jen is right. You need to try a higher resolution (which means smaller icons etc) |

| 539776 | 2007-04-10 11:23:00 | Jen, I think it's on 300x something.But the thing is I can get into the display properties window, (which has no minimize on it,neither does this XP) and select the option to change the screen resolution, but I can't get at any buttons down the bottom (OK/Cancel/Apply) to apply what I want to happen! And the only part of the window I can find to move the window is at the top, which would disappear if I pushed it up too far, then where would I be!! :dogeye: She says this has just happened.Kids? Thanks. |

| 539777 | 2007-04-10 11:27:00 | Well boot into Safe Mode and have a go at changing the resolution there. Can't remember what the Safe Mode default resolution is, but it will allow you to access the settings. A corrupt graphics driver can cause this. |
