    Hi,

    I'm using a 17 inch widescreen monitor (Vista, Nvidia 8600m GT). It has a problem.

    When I'm viewing webpages like this one - Some of the text are hidden and out of sight. On some others, its very bad and whole sections of the sideboxes are missing; I can click on the details for the top parts - but the bottom section which has the "completed" button is hidden behind another layer of text or boxes.

    Is there a workaround for this? I tried increasing the DPi but that does not help.

    Make sure your windows resolution is set for the monitors native resolution, after that just "restore" a window to the right size, or maximize should take it to the exact screen size.

    Sounds like your restore size is saved as something bigger than the resolution of your screen.
