    Can anyone tell me why re:XP
    « on: March 01, 2009, 08:30:45 PM »
    Hi everyone,

    Can anyone tell me why, on my son's computer he cannot get a complete screen.  He has to scroll to the right to get the rest of his screen to show up.  He has XP Home addition and it honestly looks like the monitor is too small.  He just had XP reinstalled about 2 weeks ago and then this problem started since the reinstall

    Thanks a bunch everyone

    right click the desktop and select properties. Go to the "settings" tab.

    reduce the resolution slider a few notches and press Apply, do this until your issue is resolved and the whole desktop is visible.

    Click Start then Run and type:   devmgmt.msc
    This will take you to device manager.
