Is this a technical question :-) The most likely SIMPLE explanation is that your monitor needs adjusting. Just move the horizontal and vertical sizes to taste. My guess is that you have a good display with A.N.Other's OS. The display position on the screen and it's size WILL change from OS to OS, and NO! I don't know why. -- Regards, Brian ******************************************************** Dr Brian Astill Visiting Research Fellow Flinders University Institute of International Education Bus 8201 3480 FAX 8449 9199 bastill@sa.apana.org.au ******************************************************** To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
