| How to Change Screen Resolution |
|
If you find that text or images on your computer are too
small or too big, you might want to adjust your screens resolution.
Screen resolution is also referred to as screen area.
The effects of adjusting resolution is similar to zooming
in and out of a Word document. Increasing screen resolution
will make images on the screen smaller. The advantage is that
you will be able to fit more items on your screen. This is
a plus if you view large spread sheets on your monitor.
Decreasing the resolution, you guessed it, makes images larger.
The advantage is that text is much easier to read. Higher
resolutions sometimes cause text to blur.

monitor, images may become blurred if the screen area is larger
that 800 by 600. Simply adjust the screen area until you are
