    Right click your desktop

    Click on properties

    go to Settings

    and adjust the slider to the right, this makes everything smaller.

    This is called adjusting the resolution

    i saw already all answers. if you tried it and still not works. you should try this way. right click my computer and choose properties>hardware>device manager>

    you will see if your hardware have no driver if you see there is warning sign or question mark on your hardware. try to update the driver. im sure your problem is with your video card driver. try it. im sure it will work.
