I just upgraded (I'll use that term loosely) from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1.
I had an issue where my screen was black on start-up so I had to delete my graphics card drivers to fix the issue. However, now my resolution is a lot worse than before and everything is way too big for the screen.
Example: When I'm on TTG, I have to scroll to the sides in order for everything to fit on screen, even though the zoom levels on Chrome are untouched.
I was wondering if anyone knew anyway to fix my resolution. I tried updating my drivers again but I end up getting the black screen error again.

Are you just running at very low resolution? If you are, you should be able to set the Windows resolution to the native res of your monitor with the Control Panel.
What is your graphics card? Have you had other graphics drivers installed before?

It is only giving me one available resolution. 1024x768 which is a lot lower than I had on Windows 7.
I have the standard Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 card. It is garbage but still shouldn't be giving me this bad of resolution. All of the drivers for the graphics card were up to date until I had to delete them yesterday and those are the only graphics drivers that I have ever installed.

Re download your graphics card drivers.
Check what your resolution your screen is set to in Control Panel.
To check.
Open Display Settings by clicking the Start button, then click Control Panel, click Appearance and Personalization, clicking Personalization, and then clicking Display Settings.
Under Resolution, move the slider to the resolution you want, and then click Apply.
Or just search for "Appearance and Personalization"
