To increase the display resolution, follow these steps:

1.Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
2.Double-click Display, and then click the Settings tab.
3.Under Desktop Area, move the slider to the right. If you are unable to move the slider to the right, the display is already at the highest resolution supported by your display adapter and monitor.
4.Click Apply, and then click OK when you are prompted to change your display settings.
5.If you are satisfied with the display resolution, click Yes when you are prompted to save the settings, and then click OK.
