    My old computer with a 13in monitor shows an 11 inch wide HAMB. The main index page and all posts.

    NOW, I have a 16 inch monitor and my HAMB is only 9 inches.

    I paid 600 bucks to get a SMALLER HAMB!!

    WTF??

    I tried all the adjustments in the my prefferences thing. Tried the larger coloums and wider other adjustment thingy and it made no diffrence.

    All other web sites and email and stuff is fine. Actually WAAAY bigger with the new monitor, but the HAMB is still teeny.

    Thanks, -Abone.

    right click the desktop, click properties, click settings, change your display settings to 800x600, and suddenly the HAMB is too big again.

    Haha..

    When I get to the properties box, it only has a "general" tab. Has no provision to adjust the "settings"

    This is really*****in. I'm not a dipshit with a computer, but this is kickin my****.

    A crisp refreshing Budweiser for the guy who gets it figured out...

    Thanks, -Abone.

    Close out all of your windows, including the internet. Right click on the desktop (the place that totes all of your icons when you first fire the thing up and probably has the infamous 'shoebox*****-mark' picture on it). Then go to the settings tab and adjust your resolution to 800 x 600 with the slider bar. Now you're*****ting in high cotton.

    Fatass. I tried that already. If I go to 800x600, the HAMB gets bigger, but EVERYTHING else is smaller.

    Back to the factory setting of 1024x768 and everything is great, except the HAMB is back to small.

    I have talked to two HAMB guys with 15 and 17 inch monitors and thier HAMB measures only 9 inches across too.

    Sooo, I guess I willl just squint and live with it.....

    Thanks, guys. -Abone,

    Fatass. Cool refreshing Budweiser is good for you.

    Hey Flamed,

    Thats weird. Is there some sort of setting in your "My Home" area on the HAMB itself? I haven't seen one, but then again, I've never looked either.

    Its weird if its only the HAMB thats doing it.

    Also, try and adjust the text size. On my computer I can zoom in on the text and make it huge. I can also make it so small that I can't even read it......

    Could it be something like that?

    Well, I guess you're screwed. You should go back to the 4" monitor and drink that rancid stuff. If you get drunk enough, you won't know the difference, anyways.
