Changing screen size and color settings:

Click Start | Settings | Control Panel | Display

Click the Settings tab.

1) Use the slider to increase your screen size to 1024x768.
2) Use the drop down menu to set your desktop color depth to 16 bit or higher (Medium or High/True Color)

Click Apply to test the new settings.

Some older monitors and display adapters may not support these settings. Windows should automatically return to the previous settings if these do not work.
