-
Click the Enable desktop resizing check box under step 2, then click Resize.
-
Move the sliders in the Resize window to adjust the size of your desktop until you get the desired result, then click OK.
The new resolution is applied and added to the list of resolutions for this display in the Change Resolutions page. Resized resolutions and the corresponding refresh rate are identified with an asterisk (*). You must select both the resized resolution as well as the refresh rate in order to resize the desktop.
The resolution is also added to the resolution list within some games or programs where you can select it the next time you play the game. If the new resolution is not listed in the game and you want to apply resizing, then you must select both the resized resolution as well as the refresh rate from the Change Resolutions page.
