hey all,

I'm having problems with computer appearance.
the poker programs are showing the screen half the
size of a full screen. I went to internet options "appearance",
settings at 16bit, 1024pix and tryed 32bit 800x600 but
does not do anything to change back to original screen
size. Also font at smallest.
any suggestions?

Instead of going to internet options, go to your control panel, display, and try it again

My advice would be to post it in not quite poker... since it isn't quite poker.

I wouldnt worry too much about posting in the right place dude i never do and i should know better !

As for your question: Is it when you are on the tables at an online poker site ? If so the game tables and lobby's always appear as half size whatever your resoloution. I have no idea why it does this i am sure stdioh or Moz will be able to tell you !

Cheers
CP

Mine have never been full screen. Maybe there is a full screen option on one of the pull-down menus. I keep my resolution at 1280 x 1024.

To be more specific:

Start
My Computer
Control Panel
Display
Settings

You'll see a slide bar you can move. You'll probably want to move it until the numbers read "800x600". Caution here - this will make EVERYTHING on the screen bigger. But if you use your computer strictly for this application it won't make any difference. Some older applications were set at 800x640, some of the latest require 1024x768.
