For people who know computers etc.

Alrighty so I know a few people here are really good with computers and laptops so I wanna post a question I have so here goes:

I use a notebook laptop and i have a VGA cable to connect to my monitor which I have done successfully however,

The "size" of the picture on the monitor is the same as the notebook which is 11" when my monitor is a 16".

Is there anyway to make the picture on the monitor any bigger.

For those who dont understand me I'll try explain:.
It shows the same size as my notebook but only 11" so the rest of the screen is black .

Any help is much appreciated thanks


EDIT!: I use windows XP if that helps

Look up how to change the desktop resolution on whatever operating system you are using and try that

Right Click on the Desktop, Go to Properties. Click on the Settings tab in that window then there should be a representation of your two screens. Select your other monitor from the dropdown menu and adjust the Resolution slider til its ok.
