| 445504 | 2006-04-10 10:22:00 | After making several changes too fast together, I've lost a useable chunk near the bottom of my screen. (Uninstalling a plug-in bar near the top was probably the main cause, but the new grey area is twice as big as that - and in a different place) It's about 2.5cm deep, sitting above the Quick Launch bar & below the one which shows progress in finding/opening pages - whatever that's called? It doesn't respond to right or left mouse clicks. Neither can I find any line with my cursor which will drag the viewable page down to cover it. I also changed the monitor settings but the blank sector stayed. So now I have a "widescreen" page which needs a lot of scrolling. And my own limited knowledge is exhausted. What should I be tying next, please? |

| 445511 | 2006-04-10 11:03:00 | Move the mouse to the upper edge of the "grey area" near the centre of the screen. As it sits on the edge it becomes a double headed vertical arrow. Click, hold, drag down till it's returned to normal size. Rinse, repeat if desired. Edit: Failing that, version of windows? Right click just to the left of the systray, select toolbars, and untick any you don't recognise. Also, if it's a toolbar, chances are it came with it's share of spyware, |

| 445512 | 2006-04-10 11:12:00 | Working on the screenshot, guys, but not doing so well. Is Paint something everyone has in Windows?Yes, it ships with all versions and you will find it in Accessories. It will do Jpegs as well, but you sometimes need to do either a filter installation or sometimes a registry change to persuade it to cooperate. Find out how the first option works Here (www.geocities.com) Cheers Billy 8-{) |
