Screen Resolution Issues

I just installed WinXP Pro on an inspiron 4000, and now my screen will only appear normal in 1400x1050 res.  Any other size causes the desktop to become small and centered with a black border around it. Any way to fix this?

    Temporary fix is to hit Fn + F7 key at same time.

    Hey Aldo,

    1. Right click anywhere on your desktop.

    2. Go down and select Properties.

    3. Go to Settings Tab

    4. Click on advance

    5. You should see a bunch of tabs.

    6. Click on the tab that says "Displays"

    7. Click on Panel or whichever one is suited for your laptop.

    8. There should be  check circle that says "Scale Image"...check it.

    9. That should solve the problem

     

    Good luck.

    THat's normal for LCDs because they have a "Native Resolution".... if the resolution is not set to this Native Resolution, it will either Fill out the screen (making it blurry) or shrink it down (like you saw)... you can change this... like mentioned previously... Fn+F7
