Which resolution screen did you buy? If you bought the low-end WXGA, the icons will be large by default, because the resolution is relatively low for the size of the screen.
I've worked with Windows (XP, 2000, NT, ME, 98 & 95) for many many years... I know what's default and what's not. I'm so used to Windows XP's default sizes that the first thing I noticed when I started this laptop was everything was huge and out of proportion. I hate it! I want everything back to normal. I've tried using the Appearance (advanced) tab in display properties and I do have the icons set to normal but the fonts keep reverting back to what ever Dell has them set at. And I don't even know where to start to get the Taskbar back to normal size.
I also can't figure out how they did it but they made it so Internet Explorer is expanding all the web pages... to the point where images look distorted.
I want Dell to explain to me how to get EVERYTHING back to normal or I will seriously consider sending this laptop back!
