Has Your Mail/Text/Widows become too big for the screen?

After downloading the latest M/S Download we discovered that nothing would
fit within the screeen, it was as though we had gone to "widescreen" and we
had to scroll back and forth to read mail etc. We spent ages looking through
posts to resolve the problem, checked Font Sizes and set to "Classic" size
but to no avail, however I stumbled across the fix quite by accident, take a
look at Screen Resolution, I found ours set to Minimum (set over to the
extream left on the adjuster) which I think I have seen recomended on some
fixes for this problem, however if you gently drag the pointer across you
will see that BOTH the resolution and the Screen Size changes, I just picked
one and had a look and then tried another untill I found the one we must have
been set on before.

Way to go, Christopher Columbus.

A law shall be passed designating February 30th as a holiday in recognition
of this stupendous discovery.

Well Ms Death, I had spent more time than Im happy with on a PC ferriting
about looking for the solution (which I could not find on this site!!) and on
the way found several others who were suffering from the same sort of
problem, I posted my finding in a spirit of helpfulness, Im sure that
computer experts will have this kind of knowledge stored away in their heads,
other less (more?) worldly might not,

Steve.

Well said.
I stand corrected.

I think the holiday is still in order.
