Re: resizing desktop on Dell monitor

[Gerald Fuller]

Hmmm. I have a new Dell monitor. I didn't seem to get any instructions for
the monitor. The picture was like the one in the message to which this is a
follow-up, and I changed that by changing the resolution, I think. But now
the picture is off center. I can use the controls on the monitor to find
things that should allow me to correct it, but I have no idea of how to make
them work.

Help?

Just play with the buttons. You cannot hurt anything. Images will pop up and
they will be self explanatory.

Thanks. I had played with the buttons, but they were not self explanatory
enough. I did not realize I needed to press the "Menu" button a second time.
But I quit playing and searched through the stuff I had unpacked too
hurriedly and found some instructions for the monitor and after I read how
to get the on screen manual, and looked for what I needed in it, it became
clear.

Now if XP would only not change my password to get on line, but would store
it so I can get on line automatically, I would be a happier camper.

Thanks for the reply.
