I bought a refurbished Dell computer. It originally had windows xp and was upgraded to windows vista. However the graphics are so large you have to scroll back and forth to see it is so big. I have to turn resolution up so high that it distorts pics and some writting any suggestions? Tried to download drivers updates and says graphics device unplugged

Can you get the backup media and roll it back to XP? Maybe move on to Linux.

I have a number of Dell laptops that ran Win2000, didn't want to pay $$$ to upgrade the OS so I bought a book on Ubuntu Linux and installed that instead

check the downloads for the right graphics drivers etc for that model and Vista, that may fix it.

And next time ask this in the Questions page, not the Discussions page.

is it the text size you are talking about.

if so there is an option to change that.

right click desktop, choose Personalize, then Adjust Font Size (DPI) in sidebar, then choosing default, then ok. followed by the regular restart

I have bought three Dells in both small frame and min-tower,with all of them I had the same problem until I purchased a video card and installed it.
