Are you asking how to resize the application window, or are you asking how to change your current screen resolution? If the former, most applications allow you to resize the application window by repositioning the cursor to the edge of the application window, clicking the edge of the window, and then dragging the window by moving the mouse without releasing the mouse button. I assume that you already how to resize a window as it is a staple feature of almost every modern operating system, but I will include a link with details about this feature, just in case. http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch001478.htm Are you using Windows 8.1? Microsoft has provided a short tutorial to change the screen resolution in Windows 8.1. I have created a short recording using the built-in Problem Steps Recorder which demonstrates one of the quickest ways to change the screen resolution in Windows 8.1. You can download it here. https://www.sendspace.com/file/fz2gps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
