    hello,

    i would really like some help in resolving a major problem I'm having with my inspiron 1520 display size/resolution.

    I somehow managed to change the settings when typing in my password upon log-in and now the icons and screen text is too large for the desktop and overall appearance. Not sure which hotkey i activated but cannot revert back to the normal settings.

    any help much appreciated!! thanks for your time!

    right-click the desktop, go to personalize.

    go to display settings.

    slide the 'resolution' slider to the right and click apply.
