I turned on my laptop this morning and it looks like my screen size has shrunk. There are two black bars to both the left and write of my screen and I need to know how to stretch it back out. I have tried looking in display options but am afraid I am looking in the wrong place.

Sounds like you need to adjust the screen resolution, this can be changed by right clicking on your desktop> choosing properties> then settings> then moving the slider under the "Screen Resolution" setting> then clicking apply

If only the sides have black "bars" and not the bottom as well, I think you might be in the market for a new screen. If setting your screen resolution doesn't work, then you might want to try turning off anything electrical that is near the laptop, as something may be causing interference. If all fails, hopefully your laptop is still under warranty.

In the far upper right corner near the big RED X there are two little boxes, Click on the one closest to the X that looks like a box .........that should instantly enlarge the picture. The one to the left of the box that looks like this _ will reduce the picture. Hope you understand what I told you. Good luck/!!!

Right click on desktop --> properties. Go to the rightmost tab, and choose a different resolution with the thing you can slide untill you find one that you like.
