According to my wife I'm a noob, a goob, and a boob. I prefer the later.
OK - your directions were almost correct for me, but I was able to hit some magic "intel" button which told me my work screen is 800 x 600. I don't know if this helps but I only use my work computer for accounting software and reading financial reports (and rig-talk). Obviously, I'm no computer grahic artist dude!!!
