    Hey guys,

    My wife has a pretty basic t400 with integrated graphics. We installed a game for the kids, and after they used it, the resolution of the laptop seems a little funky. Also, all the icons are huge - about an inch square.

    I went into the display properties and the resolution is maxed out at 1280x800 and the icon size is set to "smaller - 100%". Is this the right resolution for her panel? How can I get the icons smaller. They are disgustingly big.

    I tried to update the video driver from Lenovo's site, but it said the driver I have installed is newer than the one I downloaded.

    Any ideas? Thanks!

    Try changing the resolution to something other than 1280 x 800,

    apply the change, and then set it back to 1280x800.
