My screen area on my desktop is set to 800 by 600 pixels. This is much larger than what I want. I have tried to change this many times but it still goes back to the same size. How would I change this?

-check for a new driver for your VGA card
-check in display properties if your monitor is properly detected or change to a standard model. Try Plug and play monitor.
-check refresh rate in display properties.
-check if your VGA card have enought memory to suport other resolution. When you increase the resolution try to decrease number of colors.

Down load the driver, boot into safe mode, see if default vga is being used in the settings under propertities for you display. If is not select it and reboot. Then load your new driver and try resizing the desktop. If that dont work try a new videocard.
