Hey guys

I bought a new graphics card the other day (as you may have read on a previous post) ASUS N7600GS running Nvidea.

Installed, all lovely except, the icons and text on my PC monitor are now too small and give me eyestrain after 5 mins. The wallpaper is sized perfectly, but everything else is too small.

How can I make it all larger again? basically, how it was sized using my FX5500 that was replaced.

thanks

Pete

Or use the Settings tab and the Screen Resolution slider to select something more acceptable to your eyes.
