I'm sure none of you guys that gave Brian advice are going to like this,
especially you MVP's, because I know very little about computers, but what
your saying about the web being the problem is wrong. I have a 28"
widescreen monitor and up untill it worked perfectly. I had a HP I bought in
2001 and this monitor I bought 6 months ago. When I went on the internet,
the image fit the screen fine. A week ago I bought a new computer and now I
have the same problem as Brian. So either the entire internet got together
and changed all their code the same day I bought a new computer, or this is a
Vista problem. There is something check somewhere in this computer that is
making it look the way it does. I've been through all the Resolution
settings and increasing the font makes things bigger, but it still doesnt fit
and it overlaps half the font. If there is someone reading this that
actually knows about this problem and how to fix it, please post it so we can
fix it. Or post the best way to downgrade back to XP so we wont have this
problem.

This is most likely a resolution issue, and is much more related to your new hardware and the drivers and driver settings than the OS.

In other words, if you downgraded that hardware to XP and used exactly the same settings, you will get exactly the same results you attribute to Vista.

Your old PC almost certainly used a much lower resolution than what's native to the new monitor and new *video adapter*. Turn the resolution down on the adapter.
