screen size

[Guest]

I need help. When I get online with XP (home edition), my internet page doesn't fill up my entire 17" screen and is very difficult to read, even after I changed the font size, which didn't seem to make the webpages any bigger. How can I make everything I view online larger?

You could try this little program. IE Window Maximizer.

Try pressing the F11 key, this should enlarge your screen.

Even when I enlarge my screen, the words and graphics are still too small (and I have enlarged the font size but that only enlarges the task bar words, not the actual webpage).

Is this with all webpages?
It could be just individual website HTML settings.
If it is then i would create my own CSS document to
format all webpages like you want it. If you need further
help reply to this message and i will try to get back to
you.
Please note that it may not be this. Sorry if it isnt.

If you are not referring to web programming, and are
stating that when merely "browsing" webpages, the overall
size is small, then here is your fix (providing that you
are using Internet Explorer):

Within Internet Explorer, click on View, then Toolbars and
follow the arrow over to Customize.

- On the left hand side under: Available toolbar buttons,
choose "Size" and click on the "Add ->" button in the
center. The "Size" toolbar should now show under
the "Current toolbar buttons" on the right hand side.
Click close to exit.

- You are now back at the main Internet Explorer page.
You should see a new toolbar button for "Size" located
somewhere under the "File, Edit, View, Favorites, Tools,
and Help" menus. (If you hover your mouse over the toolbar
buttons, it will show the name).

- Click on "Size" then change option to "Largest", and
test to see if this optimal, if not, choose smaller size.

Assuming you are only having this problem with "YOUR" internet page. My
guess is that you created it whist in 640X480 on a 14 or 15 inch
monitor. Your tables, etc. are set
up for that format. You're going to have to redo your page using at
least 800X600 and
your current PC setup.
