Windows Desktop Too Large

[Guest]

Have IE6, Windows 2000 SP4

Tried to use the Active Desktop and now my desktop itself is much larger and I can not see or get to all of it. Only way I found out was by PrtScr and pasted the image.... it's twice it's normal size with or without active desktop on.

Can Active Desktop be used?
How can I fix the size issue?

slide the resolution over to the right
and say OK
Do it without restarting
When it changes click the OK

Don, I certainly appreciate your response and assistance. I wish it would have been that easy. Followed your suggestion to the letter with no correction. I think I need to clarify my problem better and the best way to do this may be to provide you with this snap shot of my desk top. This URL is to a PIC of my desktop with additional details

Don, you seem like the Pro… have another suggestion? Please!!! <grin> All kidding aside, if you do or if anyone does, please drop in your thoughts.

Thank you again!!

Click on the icon for display #1 and un-check the option to "extend
desktop...".
You should be able to see entire desktop on the working monitor (display #2)

You are set up for dual monitor, right?
Do you have 2 monitors attached to the system?
