Some of the buttons are too big, and/or not everything fits on the screen. What do I do?

This can happen if you have 'Large Fonts' selected. The large fonts setting makes icons easier to read, but can cause some compatibility problems: Here's how to double check this:

Windows 95 / 98: In Windows 95/98 click on Start - Settings - Control Panel. Then double click on the icon that says display. A box will pop up that says 'Display Properties' click on the tab that says 'Settings.' On this screen press the button that says 'advanced.' On the advanced screen there is an area that says 'font size' and there is a drop down selection box. If this box says 'Large Fonts' then change it to 'Small Fonts 96dpi' Now restart your system, and everything should be fine.

In XP: XP has a new setting that increases the size of the fonts in the windows desktop and windows system only while still allowing each individual program to have control over it's own font size. To use this feature in XP.
Go To:
Control Panel under Display Properties:
under the Appearance Tab you can use Large Font Size.
under the Settings Tab, advanced button, use normal font size 96DPI.

Internet explorer also has a separate large font size setting that you might then want to turn on, it's under the main menu under 'View' and 'Text Size'
