Default Deaktop shrinks

My pleasure ma'am. If I ever get some spare time, I'll drop you a note and
find out how things are in Big D. I don't know how I ever got anything done
when I worked full time. Being retired should present lots of free time but
as I think you now know, it doesn't. :-)

Thanks Ron! Appreciate you stepping in and finding this for Kim. I've
been away from the computer for a few days.

Regarding your note to Patty, it is taking me three times longer to
prepare the message than it did to find the driver:

https://support.ati.com/ics/support/...ge&folderID=27

Click on W98 drivers

Click on All in Wonder

Under 128 click on item 2

Under Download click on the file name

Good luck

It may be the resolution used by the game causing the screen to
shrink.
You could try as Ron suggests by refreshing the screen. Another thing
you
could try is creating a shortcut to the games .exe and in the shortcuts
Properties Run box, setting the .exe to open maximized.

Hi all, I downloaded and installed Casino-on-net which runs fine but
what
i`ve found is that if I play the game on full screen(it opens by
default
to
minimized 1/2 screen), is that when I exit the game the desktop has
shrunk
ie: there`s a black 1/2 inch boarder around the edge and any
applications
I
open are all the size of the desktop. I`ve checked the display
properties
and nothing seems to have changed. when I reboot all`s back to
normal.
Any
ideas on what I can do to resize it back to normal without rebooting.
Thank and happy new year
Kim
