Checking your Screen Resolution
Screen resolution affects how many things
can displayed on your screen at one time, and it can have a large impact on how things
appear from the web. Our website is designed to work best
with a 800 x 600 screen resolution or higher. Below is your
current screen resolution. If it is higher that 800 x 600 you
should be fine. If it is smaller, you may want to change it to 800
x 600. Some older computers may be unable to support an 800 x 600
resolution. This is very uncommon, however being unable to enhance the
resolution could indicate your computer doesn't support the higher
levels or it could indicate improperly installed video drivers. In
either case contact your computer manufacturer or your local computer
support technician for help in reconfiguring your computer.
To change your
resolution under Windows 95/98/NT/2000/Me/XP:
-
From the Start
menu, select Settings, and then choose Control Panel.

Area is set to at least 800 by 600 pixels. Note: If it is available, press

normal in 5 to 15 seconds and you will need to contact your computer
vendor/manufacturer for assistance in changing the resolution
setting.

Choose the OK button.

button to restart your computer.
