ok, since i have the old computer running as a backup rig, and it doubles as a way for me to play solitaire, i would like to connect it to my 27" HDTV. which by itself is no big deal. but i still want my primary desktop to be able to use it as well. the old computer uses only a VGA cable. my new one can use both a VGA, and an HDMI cable. when i first got the new computer up and running, i thought i would upgrade to the HDMI and maybe see better graphics. but what happened was that the image projected onto the screen was to large. my son tried resizing the settings in the TV, but he could not figure it out, and in typical teenager fashion, he got mad after 15 minutes and refused to mess with it again. so i just went back to the VGA cable. i am wondering if the size of what is being displayed can be adjusted in the computer, so i could actually close out of a program (the minimize, maximize, and close {x} buttons were never visible because the image was to large) when i wanted, rather than shutting the computer off every time i wanted to change between screens or programs. using the HDMI connection for the new computer would solve this problem outright.
