Go into your ``Control Panel``, find ``Display`` click on that, then click ``Settings`` You will see, at least I do on my puter, a sliding bar titled ``Screen Resolution``. If it reads 800 x 600 or so, then slide the bar over until it reads 1280 x 640. If your screen size stays the same then you are OK, if your screen size gets smaller then you do not have the proper Video Card, if you even have one. If your puter is 2-3 years old or more there is a good chance you do not have an uptodate Video Card hooked up to your monitor....BOY OH BOY, am I a ``techie`` or what??
