2.When the control panel window appears, click on “Appearance and Themes” and a display dialog-box will appear.

3.When the control panel window appears, click on “Display” and a display dialog- box will appear.

4.Navigate to the “Settings” tab on the display dialog-box. The correct size setting (resolution)

If a vertical-frequency option exists on your display settings dialog box, the correct value is “60” or “60 Hz”. Otherwise, just click “OK” and exit the dialog box.
