  • Double click on the Title Bar, the top line of the active window.
  • If you're using XP:

    Right click on an empty space on the desktop. Select "properties" then choose the settings tab. You need to slide the "screen resolution" slider to a higher value. The exact value depends on the screen on your laptop, but 1024x768, 1280x1024, and 1440x900 are all common ones. Try some around this range until you get a good clear picture: you can always adjust it again later if you get it wrong.
