Everything is bigger! Readjusted desktop icons, but the system tray icons (speaker, Norton NAV, etc) are distorted - I made them smaller just so that I could recognize what they were, but they are so tiny now and still look "embroidered"; made up of squares, if that makes sense. The explorer browser, outlook express and show desktop icons are not affected. Any ideas? I have Windows 98. Elle	elle cee (2615)

Select the 'Settings' tab and check the slider named 'Screen Area'. It may show '640 x 480'. If so, drag it across to, say, 800 x 600. In the 'Colours' dropbox, select a higher number of colours than 256. Click 'Apply' and check if the settings are suitable.	wuppo (41)
