3. In the Settings window, under the System > Display options, look for the Display Resolution option
5. From the various resolution options, choose the one best suits your needs by left clicking on it ( In this example the chosen one is 1024x768)
6. After choosing the new resolution setting, Windows will ask you whether you like to Keep Changes or to Revert them. If an option is not chosen with in an allocated amount of seconds, Windows will revert back to the previously configured resolution. This is done in case the monitor doesn't support the selected resolution and the user is unable to either see or see currently the video output in order to manually revert the newly selected resolution.
If the newly chosen resolution is compatible with the monitor, choose Keep Changes, and click it.

1. Go to Windows Desktop
2. Click Start
Once it finds it, click it and wait for the Control Panel window to appear.
4. Once the Control Panel window is open, enlarge it by clicking the enlarging icon on the top right corner of that window.
6. Look for the Indexing Options icon and click it. Wait for the Indexing Options window to appear.
9. After clicking OK in the confirmation box, Windows will start rebuilding its index. It might take some time for the actual process to start, Wait patiently a few seconds to a few minutes. The moment the process starts, the "Indexing Complete" sentence will be replaced with "Indexing in progress. Search results might not be complete during this time."
In addition, The number of items indexed will be reset to 0 for a moment and then start to increment.
Note that All of the windows that are related to the Indexing process can now be closed and the rebuilding process would still be running the background.
Note that the Indexing process' speed might be reduced due to user activity on the computer. The more intense the activity the less the Indexing speed would be.
10. In order to check if the indexing process is done, go back to the Indexing Options through Control Panel as explained in the previous stages. If the process is complete, you would see the "Indexing Complete" sentence appears again.
Since Windows does not notify the user once this process is done, there is indeed a need to perform the latter mentioned. Depending on the number of files, folders, drivers and partitions marked for indexing, this process could take between a few minutes to a few hours.
