CHANGING YOUR SCREEN RESOLUTION

CHANGING YOUR SCREEN RESOLUTION

Your screen resolution may be adjusted to make screen objects appear larger or smaller. In general, the higher the resolution, the smaller things appear. Your monitor and display adapter determine whether you can change your screen resolution. Below are the basic instructions for changing your screen resolution in the Windows95/NT, Windows 3.1, and MacIntosh environments.

WINDOWS 95, WINDOWS NT 4.0, AND WINDOWS 98

Use the following steps to change your screen resolution in the Windows95/NT environment.

1. Click START.

2. Click on SETTINGS.

3. Click on CONTROL PANEL.

4. Double-click on DISPLAY.

5. Click on the SETTINGS tab.

6. In the area labeled Desktop Area, drag the slider to select a resolution. The recommended resolution for using the Payment Management System is 800 X 600. A lower resolution of 640 x 480 will make the screens appear larger and may require the use of the scroll bars to view all of the information on a given screen. A higher resolution of 1024 x 768 will make the screens appear smaller and is sometimes difficult to read.

7. Click OK. You will get a message that says "Windows will now adjust your display settings. This could take a few seconds during which your screen might flicker. If windows does not reappear correctly, wait 15 seconds, and your original settings will appear."

8. Click OK. Your screen resolution should change. You will be asked if you want to keep the new settings. Click YES to change or NO to return to your original settings.
