Freesy Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Might be resolution. Try changing it to 1024 x 728. That's what I use, and RS works fine with me. But I'm not sure about widescreens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frizoid Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 as far as I'm aware the only thing that could make it smaller like that is via resolutions, are you sure you are changing them? it should get bigger and smaller as you change it at least....

daver Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 the video card is 256mb if that helps, we tried changing the resolution to the smallest thing but it makes the desktop large and ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jade1234 Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 right click anywhere on the desktop with nothing on there and go to properties, then go to setting and change the screen resolution there, decrease it first and if that doesnt work increase it, that should fix it but when your done set it back to where it was because your brother probly has it like that for a reason so that he can read more without scrolling or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daver Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 WE TRIED EVERY RESOLUTION SIZE ON THERE. IF U MAKE IT BIG SO THE RS SCREEN IS BIG ALL THE ICONS LOOK BLURY OR STECHED OUT AND EVERYTHING IS DISTORTED TRUST ME. we tried messing with the resoltuon why can't it just be like my laptop and be normal.

frizoid Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 wow that pics kinda crazy, try uninstalling and reinstalling java or using a different type of java. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tha_boas Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 try deleting java files in "java control panel" (right click java logo) their might went something wrong when you first loaded rs... also you can try to clean your cache of the browser you are using (most likely internet explorer) (this has helped ppl before who had the same problem...) ..'messing' with the screenresolution isn't healthy for your pc .. :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
