Guest Stacy Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 Wed 9/10, I saw the remove unused icon button come up and I clicked it to close or thought I did. It popped back up so I hit o.k. It was starting the wizard and I walked away. When I came back the screen was all distorted and out of range. My computer guy tried rolling back the video driver and adjusting settings from the monitor itself and settings with no luck. Low resolution is the only way it fits or by not enlarging the windows. Was there some download on 9/10 that would have affected it. My computer has 2003 drivers.

Guest Stacy Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 RE: Tool bars not fitting on screen no matter how we adjust If only it was simple. Nothing seems to work. The only way to view my screen is wiht 800 x 600 resolution. Any higher makes the toolbars like side bar and back button not visible. We have tried everything. The monitor buttons won't help adjust anything either.

I doubt the Desktop would have a "Back" button for any reason.. and few use a sidebar on the Desktop either. There is a sidebar on IE, and a CommonTasks bar in Explorer, so I guess you could be referring to one of them. If you have to scroll the Desktop within the screen resolution, that's called "panning". If that's the problem, when you open Display Properties, Settings tab, there might be two slide bars for Screen Resolution. In that case, slide them both to the same resolution, so panning won't be needed to see the complete screen. If the monitor is an LCD monitor, there might be an Auto button to resize the screen after a resolution change. > "Mick Murphy" wrote: > >> Right-click on the empty Desktop>Properties>Settings>change your resolution >> -- >> Mick Murphy - Qld (Sunshine State) - Australia >> >> >> "Stacy" wrote: >> >>> Wed 9/10, I saw the remove unused icon button come up and I clicked it to >>> close or thought I did.
