how do i back my resolution off from 800X600. after i
boosted it up the display setting doesnt show an option
on the slider for a lesser setting and my window doesnt
fit my screen, now, of course.
 
Casey;
Right click a blank area of the Desktop/Properties/Settings
tab/Advanced button/Monitor tab/Screen refresh rate.
Fiddle with the refresh rate until your display fills the screen.
You will probably have to lower the setting. Mine is set at 60 HZ.
Some people advise against this setting. It's supposed to make your
screen flicker. 60 Hertz is the frequency of most all of the power
in the US. I see you are in Australia. I have no idea what
frequency is used on power there. Does not matter. You want the
display to fill the screen. If it does happen to flicker and this bothers
you, fiddle again and change it to a different refresh rate.
Mine does not flicker. 60 HZ is the only setting that allows
the display to fill my screen.
 
Betcha. If I change the refresh rate to anything higher than 60 HZ, there will be a
black ¾" border all the way around the screen. Do not speak of what you do not know.
