I think we can help.

While it’s impossible to design a website to look the same in every browser, platform and screen resolution.

SO to be able to reach a greater audience our site was designed to accomodate the average screen resolution of 1024 by 768 however it's optimal setting is 1280 by 1024 and for the real technophobes 1680 by 1050 still looks insanely good.

To change your screen resolution follow these steps.

Using your mouse, right click anywhere on your screen (properly reffered to as your desktop).

On the dialog box that shows up click "Properties".

When the Display Properties Dialog box appears click the Settings tab.

Write down your original settings in case you want to go back to them.

Don't worry if your dialog box does not look exactly like the one pictured as only really geeky people (like myself) have two monitors.

Notice that the Primary Display (1) has a screen resolution of 800 by 600 pixels. Yours may be higher or lower.

Using the slider (as shown above), moving it to the right, adjust the setting until you see 1024 by 768 pixels and click apply.

You may see another dialog box that tells you that the monitor will revert back to it's previous settings should you NOT click OK within an alloted time.

If your screen looks OK, then click the OK button.

However, if you bought your computer new within the last couple of years, you may follow the above steps again but this time select  1080 by 1024 pixels.

What you see may just impress you.

But if not, simply follw the steps as outlined above to restore your settings back to it's original format.
