Control Panel, Display, Settings, and adjust the Screen Resolution, if that is what you mean

I can see your talking about the resolution of your monitor.
To change it to make it bigger or smaller:

For Windows XP.
Right click on your desktop>properties>settings>then you'll see a screen resolution slider. Move it up on mark at a time until it's the size you like.
