Don't know if many of you have the problem of web pages not opening up full screen, I was , I had it sorted out on the old PC but this new one on Vista had me licked for some time, the only webpage that opened full screen was Google Home page, All others would open half screen , including EO so I always had to click the maximise button, Today I fiddled around with the screen resolution settings , I had
mine on 1856 X 1392, Now it's set on 1800 X 1400 and it all works fine,
Just a little hint for those having the same problem, of course different size monitors will require different settings as to the settings I posted , my screen size is 575mm X 325mm .

Try using Firefox as your web browser it's much better and safer than Explore and there are stacks of plugins.

Hi Oz Doc,
Just do a google for Mozilla Firefox or use the link provided and download and install it. It's free don't pay anyone for it. It's far more secure than MS Explore. Then under the
tools menu you select Add-ons and select what ever you fancy, I use Foxmarks which stores all your Bookmarks up on the web so if you have a crash you don't loose any of your Bookmarks.
Firefox address:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/
Then there's Thunderbird instead of Outlook express but that's another story.
I don't use Windows, why would you, when Ubuntu Linux is far far better and it's also free plus there are 25261 different packages that you can install that are free.
I think I should be renamed The FreeMan

The bride has a new lappy with Vista. I was using it for OE last night and it always had errors on the page. I loaded FF3 and it's perfect now. Maybe the errors were from incorrect settings or something. Mind you, our larvae play around with the computers way too much.

As a semi retired ex computer tech I used to find the most common problem with all types of machines was the connection between the mouse and the chair
