17 inch 16X9 display

widepart · #1 Feb 13, 2007, 09:08 AM

I have an Acer 9410 laptop with a 16 x 9 ratio 17 inch display; many web pages don't display well.......the text overlaps other text and makes it hard or impossible to read.

I've tried various resolutions and font sizes but nothings seems to help. This happens in both Firefox and IE.

Is there a setting I'm missing or is this just that the pages aren't designed for letterbox displays.

Thank you,

Widepart

Did you have this problem from the get go on this machine?
If this issue started a little while back (<60 days), try to restore the OS to a date when you knew that the display was working OK.
Go to the Acre site, and download the Display drivers for the machine and reinstall the drivers.
Does this issue occur for all web sites?
