I really APOLOGIZE; I cannot figure out how to post a new question.
Everytime I try I get nothing but notification of pop-ups being blocked.
'TheFuzz', I'm sorry for using your thread; I just don't know what else to do.
My problem is getting rid of the sidebar. I downloaded a game that takes up
the entire screen except for the black sidebar, causing me to not see the
entire game contents. It doesn't appear on my screensaver, but unless that's
on, I don't know what to do. Could someone please advise? Thanks so much.
