Windows XP
I recently purchased new computer with XP as the
operating system. The computer came with a 19" black flat monitor. I recently purchased MS Encarda 2005 and was disappointed that when I use the dictionary it only measures 5 1/2 high X 7 1/2 wide. I felt that there must be some way to increase the size to fill up a good portion of my 19" screen. Any body have any suggestion?? They would be greatly appreciated. JLS |

I don't think that it's an Xp glitch, I think it's Encarta...open this link
and scroll down until you see the comparison between the older and newer version of Encarta. http://www.maxpc.co.uk/opinion/defau...bsectionid=597 Here is what it said, but you might find the entire article helpful. Another irritating feature is that the window in which the dictionary appears cannot be resized or zoomed to full screen. Once again, the earlier release did not suffer from this annoying restriction. One final criticism is that the new version lacks entries that appeared in the older one. In particular, certain everyday colloquial terms which were formally described as 'offensive' have now been excised. In its favour, the new dictionary does come with no less than four bilingual dictionaries to translate between English and German, French, Italian or Spanish. The old version only had the German and French dictionaries. "JLS" wrote in message ... I recently purchased new computer with XP as the operating system.
