In Windows 7, if the items on the Start menu plus the items on the screen like the icons, text appear large then you may check whether the screen resolution is adjusted to a lower value. Once you adjust the screen resolution to an optimum level and still if you see the items appear large then you may check whether the value in the Make it easier to read what's on your screen section has a value of Medium or Larger. If so, then set the value to Smaller. If this settings does not work then consider installing the display driver. We will perform the steps as discussed in this section.
Adjusting the screen resoultion
1. Click the Start button and then click Control Panel.
2. If the View by: is Category then click on Appearance and Personalization and then click Display. If the View by: is Large icons or Small icons then click on Display.
3. From the left pane, click Adjust resolution.

Adjusting the size of the text and other items on the screen
If the screen resolution setting did not help you to reduce the size of the text and other items on the screen then you may try adjusting the settings in the Make it easier to read what's on your screen section. For your information, the possible values included here are Smaller, Medium, and Larger. Making a value selection will only affect the setting to the text size and the items on the screen and will not change the screen resolution. Perform the following steps to adjust the size of the text and other items on the screen.
1. Click the Start button and then click Control Panel.
2. If the View by: is Category then click on Appearance and Personalization and then click Display. If the View by: is Large icons or Small icons then click on Display.
3. In the Make it easier to read what's on your screen screen, select Smaller - 100% (default) and then click Apply.
4. You have to log off in order to apply the changes. Click Log off now button.
Try logging to see if the text and other items on the screen appear normal. If not, install the display driver.
