Display Runtime Error

[Edward Justin Modestino, Ph.D.]

Where is this *"Edit>Properties>Devices>Display>Edit"?*
** 
In Windows 8 to change the settings, it is at *Control Panel > Appearance 
and Personalization > Display* which no longer allows you to select display 
size in pixels, etc., it allows you to choose from the default of 
Smaller-100% or to chnage it to Medium-125%, with custom sizing options 
using a percentage of a ruler (9 point Segoe UI) using Windows XP style 
scaling or not.
 
If I go into E-Prime2,* Edit > Properties, I am at the script properties*, 
as the script is still open.
 
*So, where are you suggesting I go to this "Edit>Properties>Devices>Display 
Edit"?  In E-Prime2 or the Windows 8 settings?*
** 
*Please do elaborate.  Thanks!*
