help please

I have a widescreen laptop and websites have a margin at eachside of the screen...how do i get the pages to fit the whole of the screen.?

 

I have tried with the resolution but that doesn't help...any other suggestions?

 

 

Feel free to move this thread if it's in the wrong place.

Hello Tank

 

Welcome to Extreme Tech Support - Free PC Help

 

What size screen is the laptop and what resolution are you viewing at at the moment.

 

It should be 1024 x 768 for 15"

 

I'll move this to the laptop issues when you have answered.

I've seen this before, I can't remember exactly, but if you right click on your desktop, there are some options. One of them to do with the viewable area (not in the properties box at the bottom). There are only two options, obviously the one you have and full screen.

 

Hope that helps
