    is there any way to change the screen size


    just hooked up an extremely large 4:3 monitor up to my laptop as a second screen, but selecting the highest, and correct resolution for the monitor makes it smaller than the laptop screen, which causes screen tearing since the laptop has a smaller screen, so is there any way to "resize" the screen to fix this?

    is there any way to change the screen size

    Screen size does not fix.

    Since the new upgrades the screen size is too big for my 7 YR old Toshiba Laptop, which I use constantly. I Can not access the x or the scroll bar. The character's are Hugh, stretched and distorted. I have followed every single step listed in troubleshooting
    and even paid two computer techs to fix it. NOTHING WORKS! There used to be a simple one step adjustment: Settings: Display: Screen Size. Neither, Resetting, troubleshooting app, driver updates, changing to another resolution (which btw is suggested as a
    fix but non existant) nothing works. I am at wits end. The last guy I paid to fix it suggested I just buy anew unit? I can't afford that. Please please address this issue asap. Thank you
