    Hi, I have my screen set to a lower resolution, 800x600, and until now, have never had a problem with it. Some websites look a little different, that's been it.

    Within the past week, however, some things are totally out of whack. Like a free email I use, the login boxes are little tiny, like 1cm x 1/2cm, and I can't login. Also, dictionary.com's page is totally out of whack. It is so out of proportion as to be unreadable. Also, I was just filling out a questionaire(sp?) I can't use dictionary to check it! :) Anyways, I was filling out the form, and one box where the answer should have gone was the same 1x1/2 cm box as the email login was. Any ideas?

    I use IE on XP, never had any probs before, it's all within the past week and totally random as to what's messed up. Like I say, a free email login, dictionary.com, thesaurus.com, and an online questionaire. I'd really like to not have to change to firefox just for this, any ideas of what could be up, or possible fixes? Changing to regular screen resolution might be a diagnostic possibility, but I need this lower resolution to be able to see the screen good.

    Thanks a lot guys

    Don't know if this will solve your problem or not, but have you tried going to View and increasing your font size? I run at 800x600 all the time, my font size is set at medium in IE, and I have never had that problem. Just a thought.
