I can't see all the text in certain Vista screens and cannot access the
bottom of the screen (i.e. sounds, DPI settings). I couldn't install the
Vista SP1 because I cannot access the area to check off "I Accept".

These screens cannot be made larger and have no sidebar sliders.

In DPI Scaling box (which also does not show all text), the "Default scale
96DPI" choice has a strikeout line through it and it is grayed out. The only
choice is "Larger scale 120DPI".

My monitor is about 4 years old, 17" LCD Flat, eTronic brand #1710. Monitor
settings in Hardware is PNP Generic.

Help!

Right click Desktop, click personalize, then at the bottom click Display
Settings.
Move the slider bar to the right

Didn't help. Everything gets smaller but the amount of text showing remains
the same. Still can't access bottom of dialog boxes.
