456858 2006-05-22 12:26:00 Hi....
I'm using FF 1 0 6 on an elderly computer at the moment Win 98, and I'm getting web pages that are much too big for my screen. I have to scroll about one half of the page sideways, to see all the content. I cant drag the page up either so the result of a search at my public library ends up with only the top line of a booklist showing and I can't see the rest of the lines. Thanks for any help with this....Ken.

456859 2006-05-22 12:31:00 You can change the text size of the pages by going View > Text Size. What resolution size is the monitor set at? Does IE also display the same webpages in a similar manner? Jen (38)
456860 2006-05-22 13:17:00 They probably designed the site for 1024 or higher and you're on a 800x600 screen resolution or worse 640x480! E|im (87)
456861 2006-05-23 07:03:00 Make sure your screen resolution is a minimum of 1024 x 768. :) maccrazy (6741)
456862 2006-05-23 11:21:00 Thanks for the answers...I guess I'm stuck with it. 1024x768 makes a much too small pic.
Old moniter and vid card I guess. Ken.

456863 2006-05-23 19:57:00 I am using Opera. This browser has a button for fitting text to screen width. Will help with the scolling sideways when reading text. worl (8599)

Old moniter and vid card I guess. Ken.You could always set your resolution to 1024 x 768 and increase the text size in your web browser and where applicable in other areas of the operating system. That would mean that only the images and interface would be smaller but the text would be a similar size and pages would hopefully fit on your screen. :)
