None -yet. Until then FunBuggy (EZ-Go) will have to do!
HELPPPPP!!!!!!

We just got a new computer, and I can't get the screen to look normal. It only covers half of the monitor. Here's a link to it if this will help you understand what's going on Half Screen

I know I need to adjust some settings, but I can't figure out which ones.

I'll bet you guys will know right away. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Oh yeah - there's another thing. There are no lines separating the forums or even the colors that I used to have. All of my preferences are the same as they were before, so maybe they'll come back when I can get a full screen again.

And if it makes a difference, the same thing (half screen) happens with my other most frequently visited site, The Golf Channel. So I know the problem must be in the display settings, but I've tried changing everything and nothing has worked.

Thanks again for any help! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

you should be able to right click on the screen then navigate to settings and re-do them

Right click your desktop screen. Click properties. Click the settings tab upper right side. Go to screen resolution box on the left and move the tab to the left. Click on apply. When the screen comes back up it will say Save settings? Click yes. You can make the screen whatever size you like by moving the tab over to the left.

Uh Oh. Now I'm in trouble. There is no Settings Tab. There is only 1 tab, and that says General. There is no Save As... or even Save.

Now what?? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

O.K. I don't know if this will work, but I'll try. I went to File and did a Save As... I'll see if it attaches. I had to save it as a HTML file. Will this work? We'll see.

NOPE! The extension has to be a graphic extension, and there were no graphic extensions offered when I saved it. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Larry,

That didn't work either. When I right click, I can go to Properties, but when I click on that, the screen with just the General tab opens. There were no settings listing to choose from.
