    I need computer help!

    Okay so... something with my internet is messed up. Everytime I open up a website the window for it comes up really big and goes off the sides of my screen. Does anybody know how to change this?! It was always this way but somebody put a picture on my desktop as the background and after that my interent sites started opening up all big. So... if anyone knows how to fix what's wrong I'd appreciate a hint!!

    Right click on the desktop (The main screen on your computer). Pull up properties. Then fix the resolution.

    you can change your resolution (screen size) by right clicking and selecting properties. the box that pops up - far right, Settings. move the slide bar left to make it smaller, right to make it bigger (which gives you more room)

    try making the resolution bigger first, then open up a box so that you can drag the edges to a smaller dimension. then close it, and change your resolution back to what you had it at. this should work on changing the size of the windows that open up.

    or you could just live with it and double click the active title bar every time a window opens to enlarge it.
