    He 'overflows' the screen about two inches around the perimeter. Example: The clock in the bottom right is almost invisible.

    I don't need to change my resolution and cannot do with my monitor. Also, I don't speak of re-sizing the interface, not the wallpaper.

    How can I get instead of Windows 8 which allows me to adjust the size of the screen (no icon or text size and no resolution)? Am I crazy, or was it easy to find before?

  • Home page and a few other Web pages have a vertical bar of 2 inches on each side of the page. How to permanently set set the pages to fill my screen?

    I have a HP - i5 with Win 7 and only use Firefox 35.0.5. Recently, I met some problems with my home page loading with blue text on the left side of my 2-inch screen and put it in the shop. Some viruses are removed and 35.0 FF was installed.

    Now my home page and pages loading with a 2 "empty bookmark bar vertically to each side of the page.

    Can I use zoom in on the view or the - + zoom and zoom to 100% to 133% increase, but this change is never permanent.

    Try to fix the problem I uninstalled FF 35.0 and installed FF 35.0.5 directly on the FF site. I also uninstalled AVG virus protection program. None of this has helped.

    How can I get rid of these vertical bars of 2 inches of empty space at all TIMES?

    I have a HP laptop with a processor AMD, Win 7 and Firefox 35.0.5 and he has never had this problem.

    Firefox should remember your level of zoom on a site-by-site basis. It is not "global browser" as in IE.

    Note: If you zap the history, make sure not to clear the Site preferences.

    If you need to adjust each site by about the same amount, you can use an add-on to set a higher level of the base line of the zoom. For example: Default FullZoom Level.

    Unfortunately, there is no unique zoom level that will work perfectly for all Web sites due to the preferences of individual positioning of their webmasters. But I hope you can find a good middle ground so you need not all zoom each time.

  • Window of email Outlook Express is lost on the side of the monitor and can not be read or moved. How to open the middle of my screen? Lorraine

    Windows XP.    I use Outlook Express to get my e-mail address.    When I open the e-mail message, he disappears on the side of the monitor with just a tad showing so I know it's there.   I can't move it with my mouse.  I have to click on the advice of the taskbar, click on maximize and then it fills the screen.  How can I get the e-mail to open in the middle of the screen, and hiding on the edge?

    Thank you.

    I'm not familiar with Outlook Express, but here are a couple of common solutions for windows that are out of the screen as you describe...

    (1) with the active window (as when you open just it), press Alt-space, and then press the button "M".  Then try using the arrow keys on the keyboard to bring the window on the screen.  Press "Enter" to move the window.  If it works, try to close the window at this time (I hope that it will save the current position of the window), and then reopen it.

    (2) try a right click on an empty space in the taskbar and select "Cascade Windows".

    ATTENTION! Now you're "working without a net": no to anything else online (e.g., navigation, control electronics, cat, other downloading) until you have completed the steps #5 and #6 below!

    5. now to do a fresh install of AVG Free 9.0, this time select the CUSTOM installation option and do NOT install (uncheck) Linkscanner Search-Shield, Active Surf-Shield, security or the email of crawl components toolbar.

    6. manually and regularly update AVG until you get a prompt "no more updates available.

    7 test cycle.

    Note: If you also think there could be a McAfee application installed at a certain point, he could not not bad for download/run the McAfee tool, too, before proceeding to the 'custom' own installation of AVG 9.0.

    Most of these modules of 9 AVG is not compatible with IE8 IMHO (especially LinkScanner). Do yourself a favor & don't install them.
