Narrow display

My TU display has narrowed! It started last night. My laptop is wide screen, now I have 2 inches of redundant display down each side.

I am really hoping that this is a temporary problem and it will be returned back to normal soon.

Is this just my computer or is it a TU site thing?

Re: Narrow display

Thanks for the reply. I guess it's just me then.

I was flipping through, reading posts. I pulled up the next one and the screen changed.

The effect is very irritating, any ideas?

I've checked the 'display' setup in 'control panel', but everything seems fine.

Don't know why I posted this here. Mods, if you want to tidy up, please move to a suitable location. Thanks.

Edit:

I just had one more try with the screen setup. I changed it to small, then changed it back again. BINGO! it worked.

God I hate computers. Just 'cos I sit in front of one for twelve hours a day at work does not make me an expert.

Re: Narrow display

That might be a good solution. I'll try it, as the problem has returned and won't go away!

I'm freakin' out. As soon as I pressed the send button for this reply, the screen snapped back to normal.

Now where did I put that bottle of vodka?

Better get your computer checked, it's not the TU site Vodkaman.

Re: Narrow display

Vman.

It must be all that clean living... get a new bottle and break the seal and then start to use a few rattle cans and begin learning to paint. Between drinking and paint fumes, you should get a killer headache, take some Tylenol PM amd wake up Monday morning ready to face yet another computer.

While you might hate them from a "user's" point of view, to learn to really hate computers, try being a system/network admin for a secure site that crashes during a time of a national emergency. Talk about getting complaints from high places, using harsh terms that questions your parents marrage certificate, I've had better days.

Just a thought. If you are using Internet Explorer go to the 'page' tab on the menu bar and check you are viewing in 100% and not lower.

Re: Narrow display

I could not find a 'page tab'.

The problem only occurs on the TU web site, all other sites are working as normal. This is very strange and frustrating.

Edit: When I 'send' a post, the screen returns to normal for one page, but as soon as I move on, it narrows again!
