Glad you brought this up. I've got AOL 9.0, and now, for some reason my windows are too big. I've tried changing everything. Nothing works. If I put the resolution at 800 x 600 it's too big, when I change them it's so small things are hard to read. Any suggestions?

Gotta either deal with it big or small.. 800 X 680 is just to dang big, and to dern sloppy looking.. The quality is just so much better at 1024x768

What can I do to convince you all to swithc? LOL

I used to use 800x600 on the old system, but decided to use 1024 x 768 ... and like that very much ...

1024 x 768 is my favorite (and preferred/recommended screen resolution for my website) but currently, I'm using 1152 x 864 for viewing model guidance runs ... and then switch back to 1024 x 768 after I'm done reviewing these for a prognostic discussion.

Most sites are set to fit 1024 x 768 screen resolustions.. So you dont have to scroll lett to see the whole page.. I hate that. Just looks so much better when it fits to the screen...

When your use to the 800 x 680 and you make the switch to 1024 x 768 its going to look extra small and harder to read.. But thats just because your using to seeing it "too" bit, so it will take some getting use to.. But once you do you will be so happy you made the switch.... lol

Tika hold down your CTRL key and roll your mouse wheel down. This will inc the font size on your browser. You can also click on View/Text size/ and set it to a larger size.
