[RESOLVED] The Display On The Screen Is To Small

[Midknyte]

it says "windows xp professional and there are about 10 icons vertically there. So I don't see the "run" box.

That sounds like you have the "classic" menu. "Run" is the button above Log Off Owner or Turn off Computer

Something is not adding up in your story. There is no slider in the default XP display settings where you can choose 25%. I suspect it's part of your video driver software.

Is the display any larger in Windows Safe mode?

In XP the Windows key + R opens the run window. I don't have a version of XP available to test it but the cursor may already be in place when it opens so you just need to type magnifier and hit enter.

Obviously I am not explaining the problem very well and it is my fault for not keeping track of my steps. I know you like to have the problem solved. And I appreciate all the efforts! But I am going to format the hard drive, if I can remember how, and reinstall XP. Thanks for all your help!

You do not need to do a separate format before installing Windows. The Windows installation routines include built-in functions for (re)partitioning) and/or (re)formatting the drive(s).

Note that this feature has been available in Windows since 2001 when XP was released.
