Hi efc and thnaks for showing me how easy it is to change the graphics resolution to 1024 which I did, but, this made all text, icons, etc. too tiny for Thank you Steve, the text running beyond the right margin happens only on the monitor. This phenomenon I observed to happen right after I upgraded to IE8, but, since I also upgraded to SP3 at the same time, I don't know which of the 2 are the cause.

I also noticed that, while my old computer was slower before, after the above 2 changes it became impossibly slower...But I guess I better take these problems one at a time?

Thanks again! Adela
