Why is the Pocket GPS web page too big to read without using the horizontal scroll bars? It is extremely frustrating! Evil or Very Mad

Hi Minignome,

This can be easily remidied...

If you right click on your PC desktop and select 'Properties' and then 'Settings', set the screen resolution to 1024 x 768 pixels.

At the moment your screen resolution is probably set to 800 x 600. You will find that this solves your problem and the forum pages all fit perfectly into one window then. Thumbs Up

Bo Peep.

Hi Bo Peep
Thanks for your reply - Now I need to invest in a larger monitor ( 17" now) the type is so small my poor ol' eyes can hardly read it - either that or buy a magnifying glass!

Thanks for the solution

Flat panels, particularly digital flat panels (DVI graphics card and DVI input to the panel) are very good.

I'm using an admittedly high end Dell 1703FP - 1280 by 1024 on a 17 inch panel. It works perfectly for me! (Incidentally, the picture size is comparable to a 19 inch Trinitron monitor, and the panel is much sharper).

If you dont have a megga bank balance then a 15" LCD works ok.
Same viewing area as a 17" CRT
1024 x 768 pixels is normal res for them.

The default in survey's that most internet companies have created show 1024x768 to be the default setup for around 70% of internet surfers. Personally I like 1280x1152, but most laptop screens only go up to 1024x768 on the LCD. Having a site with as much content on the page that we have, we had to choose over a year ago to go to 1024x768 resolution, anyone running a screen at a lower resolution will have to horizontally scroll.
