Control Panel-Display-Adjust Resolution link in upper left.. If you've got a wide screen monitor, try changing it to something like 1440 X 900 for a 19 inch monitor, etc.
Hope this helps.

Hello, I just upgraded to windows 7, seems fine, but I have one question . My desktop screen size, and web pages, only cover 3/4 of my screen size. Is kind of a pain. Havent found a means to stretch them to full size of my pc,s screen, the way they were on my Vista ( originally Vista Home Premium). My question is, how do I change settings to have desktop and web page, to stretch to full size of my laptops screen ? Hoping veteran techs here in forum can help me solve this puzzle. My thanks for your feedback.
