    Some windows I open on the web, will open up, and be too big. Like if I open up a game or something, the window itself will be the right size, but whats in the window is too big. Mostly too long. The bottem will be cut out and I can't scroll down to see it. Is there any way to get these windows to fight right!? Details are good I'm not too sharp with comps >.<

    Grandpa has an answer.

    Control panel
    Display
    Settings Tab
    Advanced
    Monitor
    Uncheck Hide modes etc.
    OK
    Set slide to 1024 X 768
    OK


    Move mouse pointer to bottom of screen and displayed page will move up

    Move mouse pointer to top and page will move down

    It works for me.

    I've found that in many cases it is only a bit of the window is lost at the bottom. In that case hiding the task bar by clicking on the arrow head icon in bottom left corner can resolve this.

    I've had my machine a week and finding it great, if frustrating finding how to work round the way most of the linpus functions have been hidden. The good thing is that with one press of a button and one click of the mouse my kids are happily using linux. Bill Gates' worst nightmare!

    But there are some apps that require 1024 X 768.
    Network Magic comes to mind.
    The OP wanted 1024 X 768 if my feeble mind is correct.
