Hi, Sounds like it's your screen resolution thats gone wrong. Right click somewhere blank on the desktop. Choose properties. Choose the settings tab. If the resolution (See Screen Area) says 640x480 or even 800X600 then that is your peoblem. Use the slider to change the resolution to 1024X768. Click apply and then OK. Regards Mick

Judging by this & your previous post, you need to install the correct drivers
for your display adapter. This is to be expected after a reinstall of the OS.

Your computer manufacturers website should be a good source for the drivers.
