Elroy, If you use something like 1280x1024 resolution on a 16:9 monitor, you will have the 2 black bars on either side. 1280x1024 is 4:3 not 16:9. So you'd use 1280x768 to get 16:9 and use the full width of your widescreen monitor. The higher the resolution, the smaller your fonts will appear. So go to the highest 16:9 resolution that your PC supports. If that doesn't do the trick, with Firefox or with IE8, you can just hit CTRL[and]+ to increase font (and image) sizes; or CTRL[and]- to reduce font and image sizes. You can also find commands in the VIEW menu of most browsers labled FONT SIZE or ZOOM or such like that achieve similar ends. Ian. PS It took me almost a week to figure out why I couldn't use the full width of my monitor; and a call to the supplier didn't help. :(
