To set your screen size and color depth (images are from Windows98):

1.  Click on the "Start" button in the lower-left corner of your Windows desktop.


 

2.  Hold your pointer (without clicking) over "Settings", move it to the right, then click on "Control Panel".

 
3.  Double-click (click twice within a half-second and without moving your mouse) on the "Display" icon.



 

4.  Click on the "Settings" tab at the top of the "Display Properties" box.


 


5.  Place your pointer over the slider bar (Arrow #1) and hold down the left mouse button.  Move the slider bar to the second hash mark (some versions may not have the little marks) until you see the words "800 by 600 pixels" under the slider.  Release the mouse button.  Look in the "Colors" box to the left of the slider bar (shaded pale green here for easy identification).  If you see "True Color" in the box - either (24 bit) or (32 bit) - click on "OK" (Arrow #4).  Otherwise, click on the black triangle to the right of the box (Arrow #2), click on one of the "True Color" selections (Arrow #3), then click on "OK" (Arrow #4).

 

6.  Follow the onscreen instructions.  Click HERE to return.
