Hello and thank you very much in advance for the help:
I am running Windows ME and just had to get it re-installed
through Gateway tech support. Now my icons are large and
everything seems perferated. A friend mentioned it could be the drivers
associated with the video card or maybe the monitors drivers? I am at
a loss, if anyone could help, it would be much appreciated. I believe the video card is: Standard PCI Graphics Adapter (VGA).
Thanks again in advance.
The correct driver for your graphics card is not installed. Once you install the correct driver, you will be able to see many more colors, and change the resolution to something finer, which will make your icons and fonts diminish in size. Since the Gateway tech support is already well-versed on your particular computer model (and therefore graphics card), contact them first to find out where you can acquire the appropriate drivers.
