Hi, I recently installed Windows XP Pro on my laptop. The
entire desktop is about half the size of the monitor
area. Is there a way to make it use the entire screen. I
loaded Windows 2k last year and had the same problem.
There was a key stroke that made it full screen and then
I had to change the monitor frequency to make the font
look normal. If anybody knows this keystroke or another
way to help me use full monitor I would appreciate it
very much! Thanks. Mark
 
Visit the support website of the manufacturer of your laptop computer.
Search for the latest Windows XP compatible video adapter driver.
Download and install it in accordance with the installation instructions.

Afterward, right-click on your Desktop and select:

Properties > Settings and adjust your Screen Resolution.
Make sure the Color Quality setting is set to Highest (32-bit).

Last, by not least, visit the following website:

Microsoft ClearType

(click on "ClearType Tuner Updated")

Hi, I have the lastest drivers, etc...the resolution and
pixel settings are ok... the issue is this, I have a 14
inch monitor and the desktop is only covering about 7
inches of the screen. It's like you have a program open
that needs to be maximized...the desktop itself needs to
be maximized. Thanks. Mark
