Answer 2

What do you mean it's gone "smaller"? Is it an LCD monitor or a CRT?

I can think of two possibilities. If it's LCD, you were running in a non-native resolution for the monitor, and at some point you turned off or accidentally had turned off the monitor's built-in scaling, where it will scale up a smaller resolution to the monitor's native resolution. (For example, you were looking at an 800 by 600 desktop on a 1024 by 768 monitor) If it looked kind of fuzzy before, but looks razor-sharp now, this is probably the case.

If it's a CRT, there should be controls on the front (or back, if it's REALLY old) of your monitor which control the height and width of the image. Fiddle with those till you're happy. It might not be an actual knob, and instead be hidden in a menu somewhere. Keep pressing buttons on your monitor and you'll find it sooner or later.

Answer 3

Right click on your desktop, click Properties, then Setting Tab. Look for the Screen Area box, and move the bar left or right to adjust the size.

Answer 4

there are probably some buttons on the front of your screen. On mine they are Function and adust. Press the function button (or similar) and your probably find H size and V size. Use the addjust button to make them bigger.
