Setting your screen resolution
Our site best viewed at a minimum browser resolution of 800 × 600. You even find that 1024 × 768 pixels for your screen size will be even better. If you are having to scroll left to right to view content, you should consider increasing your resolution.
- For PC users (Windows 95 and above), minimize all applications and right click on an empty part of your desktop and select the "properties" option. Now click on the "Settings" tab. From here you can adjust the "screen area" to 800 × 600 or greater.
- For Linux users, each version of Linux varies, but in general, if you right click on an empty part of the desktop, choose "properties", then look for an option for "Settings", then look for the "Screen Size" slider and adjust to 800 × 600 or greater.
- If you are on a Macintosh, use the Apple® Powerstrip bar to adjust the resolution with a single click on that menu. Or, from the Apple menu select Control Panels and then Displays to change your screen resolution.
