How To Adjust The Screen Resolution On Your Computer

If your laptop computer screen is too dark when using the battery, you can press the "Fn" key on your keyboard while tapping the F7 or F8 key with the arrow up or (+) plus sign. Click here for detailed instructions.

When the "Fn" function doesn't fix the problem, try checking the resolution settings and make some adjustments. The screen resolution is the degree of brightness and darkness of your computer screen.

• click Start menu
• click Control Panel
• click Appearance and Personalization
• click Personalization
• click Display Settings

A shorter way of getting to the display settings is to :

• go to your desktop screen ( the main screen )
• right click on any empty space
• click Personalize ( the personalization page will come up )
  
• click Display Settings
  

If the Resolution Slider is set to 1280 x 800 then you are displaying the highest resolution already. If the slider sits on the middle then you can slide it towards the High side then click ok.

Shorter Way:

• go to your desktop screen where the icons are found (main screen )
• right click on an empty screen
• click on Properties
• click on Settings
  

If the Resolution Slider is set to 1280 x 800 then you are displaying the highest resolution already. If the slider sits on the middle then you can slide it towards the High side then click ok.

• click Start
• click Control Panel
  

Be sure you are in Classic View. You will know that you are in the classic view because all the icons are showing. If not, look on the left side of the page, if you can see "Switch To Classic View" click it. If you will not see this, it means you are already in the classic view.

• click Display
• click Settings
• After you have selected your desired resolution click ok.

Your Done!
