Nvidia GeForce 6200

I fitted this card yesterday at the moment I've not played any games. My problem is Icons down where the clock is bottom right are so small I can't see them very well. I've managed to change most settings for font and desktop Icons to a size that I can see. Even the programs I open the window is small and I have to expand these. It's as if all settings went out of the window now I'm using this card. I've played around with resolution but I don't see much difference. Don't know if this helps, my computer is a Dell 3100 Dimension.

Thank you for reading my post

What's your screen (desktop properties) resolution?

Have you tried 1024 x 768?

What type of monitor, CRT or LED? Is your monitor refresh-rate set to optimum compatible value (I use 75MHz)?

Have you gone into nVidia Control Panel (via icon in Taskbar Tray) and try different default settings?

I've been playing around with the resolution and now have it looking better, the icons near the clock are still two small for me to see clearly. Guess I'll have to live with the way they are.

Thanks for the help
