Hello,I am running WinME,and just changed the resolution from 800 by 600 to
1024 by 768 pixels.
In the process,I chose Large fonts,but,as soon as I did this,I find that the
fonts are huge,and this option is not available anymore on the Display
Properties window,Whever I right click anything,the menu is so big
lettered,that it does not fit on my screen.
Any ideas appreciated.
Thanks

Alberto

Display properties > Settings tab > click 'Advanced'
the box you want is on the 'General' tab.


Hope this helps

George Gee

Thanks George,we tried that and it won't work for whatever reason,the Fonts
option under Appearance is not available either.

Maybe ...

When you have the Display Properties Window showing, if you can right-click
on the Title Bar, select 'Move' and (hopefully) move the Window to a
position where you can get access to the options, buttons, etc.

NB - you can 'Move' the Window with either the mouse or the arrow keys.

I'm glad that you've had some success, at least. However, if you are still
having problems with the display resolution settings, you could always try
running System Restore and roll-back to the last time/date immediately
BEFORE you attempted to change to 1024 by 768 pixels.
