It is unlikely that the graphics of your laptop will allow it to be adjusted to that size. If it can you will be able to adjust it in ... CONTROL PANEL... DISPLAY.... then... SETTINGS.

How can I get my Toshiba laptop to go on Standby?

How can I get my Toshiba laptop to go on Standby?
Sometimes I fall asleep while watching a show on my laptop (don't have tv), and when I wake up in the morning, it is still running. Shouldn't it go into Standby , or hibernate, or something like that after so long? I don't know how to set it up to do this. It is Windows XP, and it is a Toshiba Satellite A20. Thanks!

Having problems with the microphone built into my Toshiba Laptop?
I have a Toshiba Laptop, and somehow the Microphone built into the computer above the screen turned on, and its making a loud feedback sound. I looked in control panel, and I did a computer search, but cant find settings for it anywhere. I'd like to get it either turned off, or disabled. Can anyone help me out?

I'd get it checked out.

I don't know what Windows you have, but go to "Sounds and Audio Devices" and go to "Recording" and disable or adjust Microphone. Also, make sure it is selected because it sounds like you have "What You Hear" checked instead.

Why Toshiba laptop does not recognize battery?

Why Toshiba laptop does not recognize battery?
A few months ago, my boss bought a Toshiba laptop. After sometimes, the laptop could not recognize the battery. We thought that the problem was with the battery and bought a new one. Still the battery could not show to be charging if power was connected and neither was it being recognized by the laptop. Can anybody help me understand what could be the problem?

The only thing I could think of is that it's a BIOS problem. Has your boss been using any registry cleaners that could have messed up the BIOS? If it's not BIOS then it's probably just a battery hardware problem, the connections from the battery to the rest of the laptop are loose or broken. For a full diagnosis you'll have to send it to Best Buy or some other tech place.

The charging circuit in your laptop is hardware controlled, so no virus is responsible. Your hardware has failed. That usually means a motherboard replacement since the charging circuit is soldered to the board. If the laptop works plugged in, just use it that way. Mother board replacement runs $100-$300 depending on the laptop. Incidentally, harddrive "cleaners" do not affect BIOS. Only BIOS upgrade files from the laptop or motherboard manufacturer or manual changes can affect BIOS settings.
