| As some of you will already be aware, I've just switched from Windows 95 to XP, while still using a 4.5 year old monitor. Now, when I come to dpchallenge, I find photos in portrait mode no longer fit on my screen. Is there any way to overcome this problem without getting a new monitor? |

What resolution do you have the monitor on?

800 x 600 - which is the highest that will fit on the screen. |

| EVEN if you FIX that you will always have resolution problems,text will be blur, go get new one! |

This is from memory so bear with me (or someone on windows correct me)...
I expect it's a combination of the new Fisher Price interface (bigger taskbar, bigger window titlebars) and maybe a re-arranged layout in explod^Hrer.
If you rightclick on a toolbar in explorer then select 'unlock toolbars' (or deselect 'lock toolbars'?) you will be able to move the links & address bars around so they take up less space. You could even switch the links bar off if you don't use it.

| ... or just press F11 and get rid of the interface altogether. Fullscreen is a great way to vote. |

Getting rid of the interface is fine, but how do we get it back? I can't remember how.

| Thanks, everyone. That F11 thing means the pictures come pretty close to fitting. At least now I can get a good enough impression to know what I am voting on. |
