Windows Users:
- Go to
your desktop and right-click your mouse. (Or go to Start Menu > Settings
> Control Panel > Display and skip the next step.)
- Select
"Properties," which will open the "Display Properties"
dialogue box (which is the same place you go when changing your desktop
background, screensaver, etc.).
- Select
the "Settings" tab and locate the "Display Area"
slide bars. If your screen and desktop are set to 640 x 480, you should
move both of the slide bars up at least one notch (to 800 x 600).
- Windows
will prompt you with a message ("Windows will now adjust your desktop...").
Click OK.
Mac Users:
- Go to
your Control Panels (under the Apple) and choose the "Monitor"
Control Panel.
- In the
Monitor Control Panel, choose
"800 x 600" (or higher) underneath the Resolution box.
Why am
I doing this?
By increasing
the resolution on your monitor, you will make everything on your screen
(online and off) crisper and smaller. Not only will this particular
web site fit on your screen better, but so will virtually every other
web site (as most are not designed to be viewed using 640 x 480 resolution).
Plus, that means you'll have less scrolling to do, because you'll see
more on your screen at one time.
