Hi Andy and all interested in this thread.
I thought that I would try moving the resolution on my
computer up from 800=20
by 600 to 1024 768 pixels, to see if more of the screen was
displayed, and=20
guess what? When I clicked OK, my computer crashed and
re-booted. I=20
attempted this again, and again my computer didn't like it,
so I'm unable to=20
change from 800 by 600. Strange or what eh?
Best wishes.
Andy
