Setting your screen resolution ( Win. Vista & 7 )

Setting your screen resolution

• Display the Personalisation window and then click on the Display Settings icon, which will display the Display Settings dialog box.

• Before changing anything, make a note of the current screen resolution setting.  In the example illustrated, it is 1280 by 960 pixels. This number describes the number of points making up your screen.  The higher the screen resolution, the better a picture will look on the screen. 

• Use the Resolution slider to change the resolution.  When you click on the OK button, you will see a warning dialog box.   DO NOT CLICK ON THE YES BUTTON.    TIP: Changing the screen resolution can cause problems, if incorrectly applied. For this reason even of you do not click on the NO button, then within a set number of seconds the original screen resolution is reapplied.  Do

not change the screen resolution, just remember how to change it if you ever need to. 

NOTE: The higher the screen resolution the smaller your Desktop icons will appear on your screen.  

• Wait until the original screen resolution settings are restored so that nothing is changed.
