Hi

When we use Office picture manager all the pictures are distorted as we have
a widescreen monitor. This seems to be the only porgram that has any
problems. i.e. pictures we look at on the web etc are fine.

Any way we can tell it to show them as they should be?

Cheers,

Mike.

Don't make the pictures "fullscreen"?

What is the resolution, and is Picture Manager fullscreen? Sounds like
something is adjusted a bit off.

Not very up on all the terms. When you say 'resolution' how do I find out?
And yes, Picture Manager is full screen. But it only seems to be the pictures
that are having a problem. All else, i.e. writing etc, is fine.

Have you tried running Picture Manager in Normal Window (shortcut
properties) mode?

Also, Picture Manager may be displaying pictures in the aspect ratio
of your monitor, so if it's widescreen there is a mismatch between the
aspect ratio of the picture and the screen. By the way, aspect ratio
is not= resolution.

Have you tried setting your monitor to a standard aspect ratio, if
possible, just as a test? Also, there may be a setting for your
monitor to have it automatically adjust, which may be a logical option
but not a realistic one.

All technology which is sufficiently advanced becomes
indistinguishable from magic.

R-click the Desktop, pick Properties, and then settings(resolution shown
and adjusted by slider). You may also try making Picture manager
windowed instead of full screen.
