win98 reinstall leaves screen display smaller by half
Some laptops force the screen display to match the LCD pixels, so if you
select say 640x480 when your physical display supports 600x600 then only a portion of the display in the centre is used. After you have checked that the correct DELL drivers are installed, right-click a blank part of the desktop and choose Properties / Settings and change the screen area by moving the slider one step to the right. If this works, but you prefer the lower display, look for a setting that controls something like 'one-to-one pixel mapping' and turn it off - this allows different screen area settings to use the full display area. However, their may be some loss of quality. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (DTS) "paul dillard" wrote in message ... i had to reinstall win98 on a dell laptop and the video is now nearly half as big as normal. how can i restore display to "normal" size? many thanks... paul dillard |

Hi Paul,
You can also go to the Dell support site, enter the service tag number and get the latest drivers for the system. You don't even have to be the original owner. https://support.dell.com/productsele...seReferer=true -- Regards, Bert Kinney [MS-MVP DTS] http://dts-l.org/ How to Configure Outlook Express for Internet News: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=171164 "paul dillard" wrote i had to reinstall win98 on a dell laptop and the video is now nearly half as big as normal. how can i restore display to "normal" size? many thanks... paul dillard |
