I just installed Windows XP Home Edition on my desktop and
now all my windows are very large, When I open up the
display properties it is on 1024x768 but is actually very
much larger that that. Also when I am in the display
properties the windows is to big to get to Cancel Ok or
Apply!!! Can someone help me out. It is very hard to work
this way!

Hi Wallace,
Had problems after doing a Windows XP Home Edition
installation. In my case the video driver was the
problem. Had to uninstall the video driver to update it
and that is when everything got big. It was either the
update or removing the video card and reinserting the
card that fixed the issue. I had more problems than just
big stuff.
As you can tell I'm not an expert, but maybe this info
might help. Good Luck....
Regards,
John Saban.

You need to update the drivers for the installed video card.

For the problem with getting to the OK or Cancel buttons when a window is
bigger than the screen do this:

Press the ALT+SPACEBAR which will display the default window menu. Use the
Arrow Keys to select the MOVE option and press ENTER. Use the Arrow Keys to
move the window where you can select the buttons and press ENTER again to
hold it there. Use the mouse to access the buttons.
