Some web pages dont fill my browser?

Question

Since I bought a new computer I find that on some web sites the pages dont fill my browser yet with my old computer every web page took up 100% of the browser and I found all the text large enough to read, I have tried changing the settings in internet options but all this does is change the text size but not the size of monitor that I view.
PS all my friends computers have the same problem and they used to be envious of my old computer because of its user friendly size of the web pages

Answer 1

The issue is stemming from your monitor and video card settings. Web pages were traditionally built for a resolution size of 800X600 in order to be displayed on the webpage fully on the screen. On older monitors, this was the standard resolution, with newer systems the resolution is closer 1024X768 thus certain webpages will not fill your web browser. If this is bothersome, change your screen resolution to 800X600 by right clicking on your desktop, select properties, goto settings and adjust your resolution/screen size to something smaller.

Answer 2

Yeah go to control panel-settings and lower your screen resolution.

The reason web pages don't fit now is that web pages are build to the the lowest common denominator for backward compatibilty. So lower screen resolution. If you have a lower screen resolution and the web page is built to a higher resolution then you would have to scroll across every line of text. This could loseyou customers so until everyone has bigger monitors set to a higher resolution this will carry on.

if you attempt to embed a recommendations superhighway internet web site that you likely did not make, then you definately particularly are violating copyright of the vendors of the recommendations superhighway internet web site. They likely have not were given any concept that their recommendations superhighway internet web site is being appropriate with yours and does no longer have a good time with the association without their permission.
