I recently reformatted my laptop and changed the operating system from Windows ME to Windows XP. Now the screen is very small and doesn't fill up the monitor. How do I adjust the screen to make it larger so that it will fill up the entire monitor size? Thanks much!!

To change your monitor settings, right click anywhere on the desktop and go to properties These are your display properties, click the settings tab and you can change the screen resolution to whatever size you want when you pick the size hit apply and then OK 800x600 should fix the problem.
