Resolution

[Guest]

Hey I was just wondering if anyone could tell me how to change, or check on
my resolution. I just got a new LCD Flat Screen Monitor and the papers that
came with it said to make sure my resolution is 1280 x 1024, and I don't know
how to access it. I have no clue where it would be. Thanks for all your help
in advance. <3 Cindy

Right click the Desktop.
Click Properties > Settings tab > Screen Resolution slider.

You don't have to have the screen res at 1280 x 1024, you may find everything to be
a bit small.

Right-click the Desktop, then Properties. Now go to the Settings tab and
there you have it, the slider setting at lower right.

A resolution other than 1280x1024 that's more clear?

That would be very unusual. Normally any LCD monitor should be used at
its native resolution, the one the documentation tells you to use.
Anything else is usually greatly inferior.

Perhaps it wasn't set to 1280x1024 yet, as she hadn't found the way to
set it.

I believe that using the native resolution always provides the sharpest
view. Depending on the human factor, other resolutions may be less
stressful to the user.
