OK, now that you have the best color rendition you probably need to change screen size back to the standard 800 X 600. I prefer 1024 x 768 for my old bi-focaled eyes. 1. Right click on a blank spot on your desktop 2. Click Properties in the drop-down menu 3. Click Settings tab 4. Change Screen area to 800 X 600 pixels 5.
