    After installing Windows did you install all appropriate drivers including the chipset driver, display adapter driver, etc?

        Looks more of a browser issue. Try holding ctrl key and use the mouse scroll wheel downward. Any other concerns regarding certain adjustment needed, see this link http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Make-the-text-on-your-screen-larger-or-smaller

          Holding ctrl+mouse wheel or + is not solution, because;
          1. I don't wan't every time use this tool on new websites in which I come.
          2. Big part of flash games, like from miniclip.com just becomes more black when using this tool.
          3. In mozilla firefox you can back to orginal website position by clicking ctrl+0. I mean it shows it is windows orginal resolution or monitor size problem.


          Your second method(dpi) is already used by me, it's just changing orginal windows bottom line, tablet icons size and etc.

          P.S Maybe it's really monitor size problem ? Because I think my monitor is really old.. made in 2006. But maybe not, I don't know ;/

          P.S.S thanks for your posts !

            And, he may basically need a larger monitor.  But first, visit the link posted by jason2074 and try that.
