Although I've had a computer a couple of years I've used it mainly for word processing. Hence I'm a newbie.
I have a Dell Dimension 2350 operating with Windows XP, Just inherited a 19" Envision monitor. Thought I could just plug & play. Not so. Image did not fit entire screen, tried buttons on front of monitor but I guess I really don't know how to operate them. Tried PROPERTIES - SETTINGS & APPEARANCE but still couldn't get it to fill the screen. HOWEVER in my wanderings I shrunk all the images, I mean ALL; icons, fonts, email, & etc. (The only way I can read or type anything was to place fonts on EXTRA LARGE) HELP! How do I get it all back to size & also fill the entire screen?????

as for settings choose Screen Resoultion 800 x 600 pixels and Color Quality 32 bit.

should get ya back to something legable.

If you don't know what your doing get some help before you try again lol.
