Right click on your desktop> Properties> Settings> Adjust screen resolution to 1600x1200.

If it's available...

You can't avoid overlap on that laptop. It's max resolution is 1400 x 1050 and you'd need 1600x1200 to avoid overlap for 3-4 tables.

If you're not already running at max resolution you can do the following:
Right-click blank space on your desktop
Select Properties
Switch to the Settings tab
Move the Screen Resolution slider bar all the way to the right.


If that isn't good enough, you can connect an external monitor capable of 1600x1200 to the video output on your laptop and use that. Just about any 19" CRT will handle this resolution these days. After connecting it to your computer go through the above steps and look for a checkbox that says something like "Extend my Windows desktop across monitors" and check that. Now you should be able to select the monitor with a 2 on it and max out its resolution. Your mouse will just roll from one screen to the other after you've done this.
