How do I fix my computer's resolution?

[Haloman800]

I just installed Windows 7 on my dad's office computer, I'm freakin' out because everything's zoomed in like x5, and the resolution sucks.

Here's a screenshot from my laptop's webcam:

The bottom taskbar is not "Clear". Your missing all your drivers, Lad. Don't get in over your head if you dunno how to complete an installation. a lot of the time with Windows 7, you can connect it to the internet and check for updates to install drivers. Though you may be missing the network drivers as well. On your working PC, go to his PC's support page and download all the drivers, or Atleast the important ones (Video, Sound, Network, Chipset) and save them on a USB Drive to install on his PC. then as always, have windows 7 check for updates, Windows 7 updates are vital. Good luck, and I'm here if you need help.

Press the Orb (Windows/Start button) and type "resolution". Wait a few moments in case it takes a while for options to appear. The first result should be the option to adjust screen resolution. Press Enter. The window to adjust screen resolution should appear, and you can change it from there.

Do all Windows Updates, especially the Hardware sectino of them. (this will take several cycles of updates, not just one)

Then, once that's done, right click on Desktop, then Screen Resolution (second from bottom)

Tiny monitors have a hard time handling larger resolutions.
