Hi all it's my first post , and I have a bit of a problem with getting my desktop area to change from 640 by 480 pixels to 800 by 600 pixels! It was working just fine yesterday and my wife wanted to change the settings to make the screen more easy to read. Well I changed the setting to 640 by 480 and discovered it was too big and I would need to use scroll bars to move the screen from side to side , so I went to change it back to 800 by 600 and when I click on the arrow in "desktop area" nothing happens. Now I cannot change this setting , I have been trying for 2 days to get this figured out and to no avail.
Could someone please help me with this!!!! : confused:
