Re: Weird, SIMPLE XP Pro problem

That was the first thing we tried, but its NOT a preferences-type
problem within Internet Explorer or etc.; when she boots up, the
fundamental screen size stays HUGE. Even her wallpaper pic spills over
the edges. We considered a gun misalignment, but discarded the idea
because it runs well otherwise.

The control panel cannot be resized and the screen is too big to let
her get to the button at the bottom to apply the changes. That's
forcing her to move everything ELSE around constantly to reach ANY
controls. The various buttons are OUTSIDE the edges of the screen. Its
as if its set for a 24" monitor and spilling outside the confines of
the 13" one.

I wish I could explain it better... its ALWAYS some new hitch with
Windows, heh.... its just greatly hampering her use of it. I've NEVER
seen a computer DO this! I thought it could simply be a screen-sizing
issue and easy to fix, but the START box's control panel buttons are
out of reach, preventing possible fixes. No access to controls =
gnashing of teeth and such, heh.

Is that any more clear? We're really scratching our heads. TIA,
regardless.
