How to Change the Screen Saver Resolution

Working on small laptops, or any monitor with a small screen resolution, could cause screen savers to appear out of focus. The average screen saver is designed to fit a 600 x 400 screen; therefore, screen savers on laptops and netbooks, at a lower resolution than that, could show unfavorable resolutions and pictures. Luckily, you can change the resolution on most screen savers, to fit your computer monitor.

Instructions

1. Go to your Start button on your taskbar.

2. Click "Settings," then "Control Panel."

3. Select "Display" from the Control Panel area.

4. Choose the "Screen Saver" tab.

5. Locate the screen saver desired from the drop-down list of screen savers preloaded, and select it.

6. Click the "Settings" button to change to your desired screen resolution. Click the "Apply" button to save your settings.
