Thread Name: tech. screen display
Subject: tech. screen display too big
Can any technical minded catter help me with what must be a simple problem to some, but seems to be an enormous one for my simple mind?
Things don't fit on my computer screen any more! They're all a bit too big!
I,m running Windows 98 with a Compaq v40 monitor and all was O.K until last week, after I changed my anti-virus from Norton to AVG free edition. This was not without it's problems, but I seem to have surmounted those. However, anything I now display from the net 'overhangs' the screen edges and I have to use the 'slider thing' at the bottom to read all the info. Also any dialogue boxes, my desktop icons and my dial-up box, are all a little bigger than before. Even when using 'Word' for typing letters, the size of the page is larger than previous but the page size setting is still the same as before (75%).I've looked in the 'Help' facility but don't see anything really relevant, or useful. It's not a major tragedy, but nonetheless, annoying. Have I touched something I shouldn't have? Any advice would be most appreciated. Regards and thanks in advance.
