I plugged in a 98 I had in the closet for years, & unfortunately, everything looks bigger than what it use to. It's like I have to reduce the size of the graphics somehow, I go to DISPLAY Properties but there's nothing there like
on my XP which has resolution and sizes, and make images smaller and so on. The 98 hasn't got that. Just 16 Colors or 256, & there's a slide that goes from left to right suppose to be for making everything smaller os something, & if you slide it to the right, a small screen shows everything in it becoming smaller, and the number changes from 16 colors to 256, then it
ask to press apply-ok- then it ask to re-start. But I want to make SURE before doing all that. Does anyone know anything about that? I'm new to all this. Microsoft told me the 98 is absolete, there's no tech support for it.
Someone please get back to me. Go to the Control Panel and select Display.

Then choose the Settings tab. Here you will be looking for a little section that says "Screen Area."

Change this to 800x600 pixels or your prefered choice. Don't worry if the monitor goes crazy if you select a resolution too high for your monitor, it will resort back in 15 seconds.

I'm slightly hazy on Windows98 but I don't think you have to RESTART to change the reolution... As for the 256colours section, this seems as if your graphics drivers have not been installed, unless its a very VERY old computer.
