Most websites are designed to be viewed with 800x600 screen resolution
(with a lower setting, you may not see everything on a page).
If you can see this web page without scrolling to the right, your monitor
is already set to 800x600 or a higher resolution. However, if you need to scroll to the right
to see the rest, then your screen resolution is set to 640x480.
Your computer's screen resolution is easy to change. Just follow
the appropriate instructions below.
