Screen size

[Guest Karen]

I just had a new hard drive installed, along with IE7, and the pages are too

wide to fit on my monitor screen. I have to scroll left and right to read the

page.How can I adjust this so the entire page fits? I use the setting at the

bottom, but it's not permanent--I have to reset it everytime I log on. Thanks

for any help.

Have you tried other web browsers such as Firefox or Opera?

They should display your pages correctly and provide you with more security.

What is your screen resolution?

PS. Not sure how you are replying but your response is showing as part

of my response. I've edited the above message to move your response

out of mine.

 

As for your issue, try changing your resolution to 1024x768. The entire

desktop will be smaller but the web page will fit better. The other

option might be to set the font site in IE. View|Text Size| on the

toolbar. Make it smaller. It will shrink fonts but not images. The

default is medium.

 

Some webpages are wide. Most should fit 800x600 however, but you may

just be visiting some that are wide. You can reset the resolution easy

enough if you don't like it.

800x600. I went in and changed it to 75% still a bit too wide and had

to change the font size. On the bottom of IE where you can change the

zoom,80% gives me the size I need, but couldn't do that in the screen

resolution box in control panel

 

You need to go to at least 1024x768 to take care of your problem.

What she did was start her reply right after a ">" character. That

really messes things up.

 

A finer resolution will correct her problem

Yep that was one of my suggestions. But some people hate 1024x768,

thus the 2nd suggestion to reduce text size. I have a 15.4inch laptop

and its set for 1280x800 Even smaller. And I like it. Its readable.

And widescreen too. I get so much more on a page.
