Some web pages do not fill screen

some web pages are not displayed fully on the screen, although they are
maximised, the height is fine but the width does not fill the screen, i have
no idea how to fix this, it only happens with some pages...

thanks for any help
cheers

Probably not your fault, they're authored
this way. Don't worry about it.

But you might want to try this:

Open your browser
CLICK AND DRAG (do NOT use the Maximze button)
the window to fill the screen
Then use File>>Close from the menu bar to close
the browser.

This sometimes fixes the "doesn't open in maximized
window" problem IF the HTML for the page is not coded
to open in something smaller. If it is, you can't override
it - it's what the author WANTS you to see.

> Thanks but i am unable to do this as it brings up a circle with a line through it meaning it cannot be done.... these web pages previously did fill the whole screen before i had a new hard drive installed... 1 page for instance is facebook, now it fills the screen height wise, but there is a 25cm gap on each side. IE is maximised with the scroll bar on the very edge of the page, its just the web page not reaching the edge of the screen... if this makes any sense

thanks
