you mean pages you write?
or any web page?

pages you write, use relative sizing rather than absolute sizing.

other's pages, you are screwed, they used absolute sizing.

If so, your onscreen typesizes must be pretty small if all your pages are centred in the browser window.

Try typing [u][b]Ctrl[/b] + [b]+[/b][/u] (that's the 'Ctrl' key plus the 'Plus' key) repeatedly until the typesize increases sufficiently to fill the rest of your browser window.

You need to go into the graphic card setting for this. You can set nearly any size of screen size and resolution in this setting.

Or click on the BUTTON in the middle up in the top right of the web page (there are three buttons), left one being is to minimize, the middle is to MAXIMIZE, the red one is to Close.

Please post back if you have any more problems or questions.

I'm using a 22" HANNS G monitor and usually browse the web at 1024x768 pixels, which gives me an exceptionally comfortable, richly-rewarding display that my sad old eyes don't have to squint in order to focus on.

Having read your idea I cranked my Nvidia 8800GT up to 1680x1050 pixels and... [b]WOW!! WHOA!![/b] ...I suddenly had a rush of Vertigo. Tiny typefaces all crowded into the middle of the screen. Don't get me wrong - I play Crysis Warhead at this resolution but that's a game, not a browser window.

In fact, I take back the comment about the binoculars, you'd actually need a rather strong Microscope!! :^0
