When the operating system is installed, the monitor screen resolution is automatically adjusted. If the resolution is low, the icons on the desktop and the windows that open will be too large. Not everyone will enjoy the Start menu, which covers half of the monitor or a window that does not fit on the screen.

Instructions
Step 1
Determining the resolution of your monitor and changing it to your liking is easy. To do this, go to the "Start" menu, select "Control Panel". If your operating system is Windows XP, then in the window that opens you will need to select the tab called "Display".
Step 2
A dialog box with several tabs will open in front of you. You need the "Options" tab. Click on it and take a close look at the opened window. The screen resolution is indicated at the bottom of the window. You can easily find it, since all data is signed. Below the scale are the screen resolution parameters that are currently set on your monitor.
Step 3
If you want to change the screen resolution, then you need to click on the special checkbox on the scale. While holding down the left mouse button, move the checkbox to the value "higher" or "lower". The monitor screen resolution will change. Remember, the lower the resolution, the larger the icons on the desktop and the windows that open, and vice versa.
Step 4
The Windows Vista operating system defines several other steps for finding monitor resolution information. Also, as in the previous case, enter the "Start" menu. Open the control panel. Then find the "Personalization" tab. In the window that opens, select "Display Settings". The rest is done in exactly the same way as in the Windows operating system.
Step 5
In this simple way, you can find out the resolution of the monitor and, if necessary, set another one that is more suitable for you. At any time, you can adjust the resolution of the computer for yourself. It is also worth noting that when installing and launching some games, there may be some changes in the "Personalization" settings, so these skills will be useful to you. Do not forget that much depends on the monitor itself connected to the computer.
