Hi Goku, no worries i've attached a few examples of what i'm talking about. Hopefully i've attached correctly. Should the BBC pages fill the width of the pages? Should I be able to see more of the webpage between the top and bottom of the screen on the 'forum' example? :confused: Many thanks

Sorry, it's not just IE, it's the same for google chrome as well. I'm not sure, maybe it's ok now. I've got web pages to fit the width of the page, however I'm not sure if this is at the expense of the height of the web page. By that I mean, in IE, looking at this page only Bagsy's last message fits the height of the page, there is no room for any other messages. Is this as it should be, or should the page be able to fit in more if it's correctly proportioned? When I check pages such as BBC News ot the BBC Sports pages there's still always big gaps to the left and right - is this the same for you guys? Thanks for your ongoing help!

tried that, but it just reduces the size of the overall frame, then the dragging returns it to the size it was. It's the internet page within that frame that I'm having the problem with, as it still has a few inches to the left and right that aren't being filled with the web page. The browser goes all the way from the left to the right of the screen (so favourites is on the left and tools / X on the right, it's the shrunken internet page within that that's the problem....:confused:

hmmm there's an idea....but I'd like to avoid having to re-download AVG / anti-malware / ms-office....but maybe it's my only option..

PS my resolution is set at 1366 x 768 which I think is right, think there's some sort of other problem...any ideas?

Na i wasn't playing with the screen settings though - that just happened - honest! Unfortunately these solutions aren't doing the trick though... Firstly, nothing changes to the cursor when i locate the corners of a web page, so that option doesn't work. Secondly, contol+0 makes it a bit bigger, but still leaves about 3 inches of blank space either side of the web page. And also, this make cuts off the bottom half of the web page. I've got it all out of proportion somehow and don't how to fix it! :-S

My Dad's just bought a laptop (a new widescreen HP thing) but when I've been fiddling round setting it up, downloading anti-virus etc, I've somehow changed the size of internet pages so they appear as small screens in the middle of the page, with blank space at the sides. The desktop page looks fine though. :confused::confused::confused: So frustrating!!! Anyone know how I can sort please? Perhaps I should have just left the old man to it!
