So everything on the screen looks longer? I thought that's how you ladies wanted it.:action-smiley-069:
Maybe try the screen resolution.
Long is good just not on a computer screenQuote:

Resolution issue. Change the resolution and see what happens.
Is everything stretched, or just the desktop image? The desktop image can be set to stretch to fit, which may be the case here. If you want to call me I can walk you through it while you check it.Quote:

It may just be the destop, or maybe it's just me and everything is bigger because the screen is bigger (I'm used to smaller still). Hell I don't know. Resolution is set at the highest.
It looks like the resolution is too large.
Hmmmmmm. TMI about WMC!Quote:

Smaller screen LOL you guys are so funny !!! 314 I'm afraid to upgrade for that very reason. I still have whatever came on the computer
I bought a new powerful small laptop "lenovo" after extensive research and you're going to find when it's time to buy new,I don't think you're going to find any windows 7 or any older version, everything I found had windows 8 and it's bitch, sorry, I'm getting it, but it's ten times harder than anything I've ever worked with.Quote:

Under display properties click the drop down box and change from stretch to center. Your old monitor was square (4:3) and the new one is rectangle (16:9) or widescreen. Call me and I can walk you thru it. You won't mess anything up or loose anything on the computer by doing this.
Beat me to it. Go into the properties and find it and reset the screen...that will fix it...post up a pic of the screen after you are done so I can see if you got it right please...Quote:

There's a curve to Windows 8..thats for sure...I have a love/hate relationship with it, that's for sure....but slowly, I am learning it, and adapting...but it takes a while..
