This topic explains how to change the screen resolution in Windows 7 to the resolution used in this topic.
Changing Screen Resolution
Screen resolution indicates the number of pixels (dots) that the computer uses to display the letters, numbers, graphics, and background you see on the screen. When you increase the screen resolution, Windows displays more information on the screen, but the information decreases in size. The reverse also is true: as you decrease the screen resolution, Windows displays less information on the screen, but the information increases in size.
The screen resolution usually is stated as the product of two numbers, such as 1024 X 768 (pronounced “ten twenty-four by seven sixty-eight”). A 1024 X 768 screen resolution results in a display of 1,024 distinct pixels on each of 768 lines, or about 786,432 pixels. The figures in this topic were created using a screen resolution of 1024 X 768.
This is the screen resolution most commonly used today, although some Web designers set their computers at a much higher screen resolution, such as 2048 X 1536.

The following steps change the screen resolution to 1024 X 768 to match the figures in this topic.
