    I have a Dell OPTIPLEX 780 Desktop computer and would like to adjust the brightness on screen.I have located the brightness button on the front of the screen and can get the menu up but do not know how to press the plus or minus buttons my mouse will not do it.

    Be grateful of any help I am sure it is just some simple thing I have to do:eek:

    Hi Snowdrop. Since you have a desktop computer you will be adjusting the brightness of the monitor. What is the model of your monitor that you have?

    Also you might want to update your System Details in your profile since the specs are of a Windows XP system.

    To adjust the brightness and contrast, do the following:

    1. Press either Plus or the Minus button and highlight the option you wish to change.
    2. Press the Menu button to select the highlighted option.
    3. Press the - or + buttons to adjust the brightness/contrast settings.
    4. Press the Menu button again to accept the changes.
