Please don't post two three threads for the same issue.

You're not really saying what's the issue at hand. What do you mean, the screen is small?

Why are you saying ok every 6 words?

So I'm assuming that your desktop is not displayed across the entire area of your LCD panel. In that case, your resolution is probably not scaled correctly. Right click your desktop, go to properties, and hit settings. There you'll find a resolution slider - move it to your maximum screen resolution.

If that's the case, your display driver is either not installed or installed incorrectly.

What does device manager say about your GPU?

Almost any correct driver (even from Dell) should work, as long as it's for your GPU. Else, you can look up a new driver from your GPU manufacturer's website.

From what you've told me, you have not done 'that'. Look up your GPU manufacturer, be it Intel, Nvidia, or ATI, go to their site, and download the appropriate driver directly from them. I'm assuming you know how to properly install a driver over an older one - if you need help, ask.

There are some programs that you can download that will find drivers for you, but I've never found any that were less advertising than they were helpful. I don't recommend them.

You can either look up your system specifications online or use the device manager, like I suggested earlier.

You'll find your GPU under "display adapters"
