Setting Your Display Properties in Windows 95/98

 

This site takes advantage of your display set at 800 x 600 pixels. If you don't know how to set your screen to this size, read further.

It would be a good idea to print this page before you start!

WARNING: You need an SVGA monitor to continue. If your monitor is older than 2 years then DO NOT follow these instructions!

  • Close down your browser and disconnect from the Internet.

  • Right-click on an empty part of your desktop & choose 'Properties' from the menu that comes up. This will bring up Display properties.

  • Select the 'Settings' Tab and look for a box entitled 'Desktop Area'.

  • Move the slider until it says 800 x 600 pixels.

  • Click on 'Apply' and then 'O.K.' You might have to restart your machine for changes to take effect.

  • That's it! Your screen should now be set to the new size!
