These instructions were written for folks who have Windows operating systems managing their machines (i.e., Windows 3.X, 95, 98, and NT).

Follow these steps to adjust your monitor's display of images and text on your machine.

1. Right-click in any area on your desktop. You will see a small list of options.

   

   • Right-clicking means clicking the right button on your mouse.

   • Your desktop is the background area displayed on your monitor when your computer boots up. All the program icons or pictures lay on top of this background.

     

2. Move the mouse so that it points to the Properties option, and click the left button of your mouse.

3. Move the mouse so that it points to the Settings tab, and click the left button of your mouse.

   

4. In the section called Screen Area, move the arrow to the left to reduce the number of pixels on your screen.

   

   This will expand the pictures and text that appear on your screen. If you move the arrow to the left and right, you will notice the snapshot of your desktop expands and shrinks depending on the direction you move that arrow.

   Moving it to the far left will display the largest possible view of images and text.

   
   This is what happens when you move the arrow to the far right (1280 x 1040 pixels).

   
   This is what happens when you move the arrow to the far left (640 x 480 pixels).

5. Adjust the screen area to your preference. The lower the pixel number, the larger the image and text size. To view larger images and text, move the arrow to the far left.

6. Click OK. Windows will show you what your desktop will look like based on your selected preference, and it will ask you to confirm your choice.

   

7. Respond as appropriate. If you want to redo your choice, select NO. To keep it as changed, select YES.
