Not being a computer whizz, please can anyone tell me how I alter my screen so I can see the whole of a page? At the moment on my screen I can see as far as the R in TRYING. It really is irritating to have to constantly scroll backwards and forwards. Rosemary(Essex) |

Hullo, try your screen settings page,right click on your basic screen, click properties...........click settings.........you should get then, what your screen is set to, ie, colour depth, and screen size.........you should only need something like 16 bit colour, and maybe 1078 x(700. something) pixels, changing those numbers will alter how much screen you get..........is it normal, by the way on other sites/?

Thanks Glitter Baby, I tried that and it did not solve the problem. Must have inadvertantly touched something else as now the screen appears longer and I have symbols for favourites print etc. and no bar with view, edit, tools etc above it! I think I'd better go and hibernate! Rosemary(Essex) |

Rosemary, perhaps you have inadvertently "dragged" the window on your screen out of position? If so, you can "drag" it back into position by letting your cursor hover over the horizontal or vertical dividing lines on the page you are viewing and whilst holding the mouse down, move the page over. Also do you have a little e (internet explorer) logo positioned on an earmarked piece of paper, in the very top left hand corner of your screen? If so click on this and then onto the "move" option, this will also allow you to move the page over. It may be that if you have a box displaying Favourites or History on the left hand side of your screen it is taking up too much space and therefore pushing the rest of the viewable screen over too far...you can use the drag or move option to rectify this. Or opt not to have the favourites/history box on view by going to the x in the top right of the box and closing it down. Dee x |

Thank you Dee, I'll have another try! I followed some of Bob's instructions but my computer is obviously different from his. The whole thing siezed up and i had to switch off. Have just come back on and nothing is any better as yet. Rosemary |

Rosemary hunny, even running AOL you're Pc won't be different. With all your internet pages closed right click your mouse on the DESKTOP screen, go to properties, then click the settings tab. Have a look at what setting your screen is in. Is it 600 x 800 if so can you change it to 1024 x 768 by sliding the bar across.Thats what Bob was trying to explain :) Sioux |
