I'm pretty dumb when it comes to computers so bare with me please  On a number of websites - OhBaby being one of them, I can only see about 3/4 of the page and have to scroll right to see the rest. It is really frustrating, especially when reading a post as I have to scroll left/right when reading each line. I use Mozilla Firefox but it does the same on IE aswell. I have a wide screen monitor. Would there be some sort of setting somewhere I can change so it all fits on one page?------------- Kelly, mum to DD, 19Jun06 (26wks 1lb15oz) DS1, 24Oct10 (32wks 4lb11oz) and DS2, 31Dec11 (32wks, 4lb11) http://lilypie.com">

Go to the start button & then on to your control panel. Then go into Display, Click on the settings tab & you can change your resolution on there
I am on 1024x768 & that seems fine. Oh I'm not on wide screen so play around with that setting to see which is best for your monitor. ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

You can also just right click on the desktop and click properties and change the resolution there too. ------------- ~ Mummy to a beautiful girl ~ |

You can make the print bigger by selecting "view" in your tool bar and then 'zoom in'
It will make the page a bit wider again but not as bad as it was and you can just select 'zoom out' or 'reset' to reset it. -------------
