    Hi,

    I recently connected my Acer Aspire 5610-4654 to my TV via S-Video to watch a movie. It enlarged the screen and once I was done watching the movie, and once I disconnected the S-Video, the screen stayed as is enlarged.

    My regular size is 1024x768 and it doesn't look the same before I watched the movie.

    I've updated the Bios but it still is enlarged.

    What do I do to make my screen at regular size?

    Sorry,

    I can't seem to understand what your saying

    I can't find Display Adapter Properties nor can I find anywhere where it says TV Out.

    can you rephrase that. i completely don't know what to do.

    Go into the control panel and look for an option that controls the display properties. In XP, it's called "display" but I don't know in Vista.

    Inside there, you should see options for configuring your screen resolutions and what display devices (TV, monitors, projectors, etc) are connected to the computer.
