Martin Hesse: 7:51am Oct 24, 2002: Does you questin refer to screen in the sense of a dialog box or simply to the monitor? -

Anzeigegröße
Explanation:
If the question refers to what size of a monitor the user has and needs to adjust to, here my suggestion.

Win2000: Start > Einstellungen > Systemsteuerung > Anzeige > tab "Einstellungen" > area "Auflösung". Here you can set the display size.

If it refers to the size auf a dialog box (screen), you can use the same term.

Passen Sie die Anzeigegröße an.

Größe der Anzeige einstellen/anpassen

Explanation:
I would rather use Anzeige, because it refers specifically to the area where the information is displayed, whereas Bildschirm can also refer to the monitor itself. At least this is how I feel it.
