The desktop = environment on my screen "seems" to be at least four times as big as it = should be, displaying only the top left portion of the desktop.=20 The strange part of this problem is that the install program displays = all of the display option screens in the correct size and font. Any advice to get me going will be appreciated. C. W. Talbot cwtalbot@hotmail.com
