Appropriate screen resolutions vary depending on the type of monitor and inches with the same, this is not a rule that every user and provides the same resolutions as you want, as long as your monitor and graphics card allows. An average normal usually as follows:

For monitors 14 "or 15" usually use a resolution of 800 × 600 pixels (a pixel is the unit of measurement chart, basically can be translated by a screen).

Monitor 17 "is often used a resolution of 1024 × 768.

Monitor resolutions of inches above the point where they increased the screen. eg televidor a current 32-inch flat screen, is perfectly the 1360 × 768 pixels in widescreen.

Well, once explained about that. Now let's set the resolution of the monitor or screen, to perform this action in the Windows XP operating system, you can perform various actions, such as the following:

1 Click on the Start button and then on the Start menu select Control Panel called. By opening the Control Panel from the options listed, it has to perform a double click on the option called screen, clicking on this option displays the dialog "Display Properties"

Another way to perform the same process is clicking the right mouse button in an open area of the desktop, ie that is not occupied by any window or some kind of icon. andalusia clicking the right mouse button displays the context menu of the desktop and in it you can select Properties to display the dialog box "Display Properties".

To change the resolution the only thing that has to do is click on the slider and move the mouse left or right to decrease or increase the resolution, respectively. The resolutions shown depends on the settings of your monitor and graphics card, once selected the desired resolution, it simply has to press the OK button, which will be shown to change the screen resolution to that resolution in 15 seconds. During these latter displays a confirmation message if everything is correct and as simply has to accept the confirmation or otherwise that do not want the resolution set either because they do not show any image on the screen or Pressing the cancel button or left the 15 seconds elapse to return to the previous configuration.

    I wonder why when I try to change the resolution with the slider I can not because it does not move. I need a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels to run Google Earth properly and can not do it.
    Thank you very much.

    Not if you mean the slider is disabled (it is possible to know that it appears as a faint gray ") or not but lets you move to the right. Well one of the reasons might not be installed or the driver for your graphics card driver or the driver for the monitor, which makes the graphics display windows with his driver by default and this does not reach higher resolutions. can also depend on the size of monitor, as long as you are sure that your graphics card supports higher resolutions. It would be interesting to know the standard graphics card and monitor you have.

    A greeting, happy holidays and hope to have helped.
