What's your screen resolution? I wonder if the default skin fo vb4 is designed for higher resolution displays than what you're running. There's usually a minimum recommended screen resolution.
Open the control panel from the start button, then double click "Display". You should get a box that tells you what resolution you're at.
It is set at 800 by 600. Should I increase it?
You should be able to. Drag the little slider bar over to the right and see if it's more readable. Windows will give you 15 seconds to accept the new resolution before it defaults back to the old, in case it's awful. Depending on what size monitor you have, you might not be able to get much more resolution, though.
Yes. Personally, I'm running 1920x1200, but I'm guessing that my hardware is a lot faster than yours and my screen is a bunch bigger.It is set at 800 by 600. Should I increase it?
I played around and ended up back at 600 by 800 where I started. That is my best resolution for every other site so I'll leave it there. Whwn I increased the resolution it made the text smaller.
You can also change the default size of the text. The most likely culprit though, is a small monitor. If you measure it like a TV (diagonal, screen only) what do you clock in at? Probably something like 15"?
Brother, you need a better monitor. I'm rocking a 24" widescreen LCD at 1920x1080. But I also play an insane amount of games on my PC, so it was worth the price for me. It does help reading web forums, especially when people post ginormous pics.
And there's your problem. Mine's bigger . 27"Yeah the monitor measures 15"
Yanici, I have a spare 19" LCD collecting dust. I can't bear the thought of someone running at that low a resolution. PM me, I'll get it to you Saturday if you're around. 800x600 *shudder* That's just... unnatural.
go to view on the tool bar and click on zoom, pick one you like. Or is there another way.

The page doesn't fit across the screen unless you ctrl/- the screen size. If you do that, the type gets tiny. Any solution? Yesterday it fit across the screen just fine.
i have the same problem with the scrolling across to read the posts.
