I am not able to view the whole image on my screen. How do I fix this?
Your screen resolution is most likely set at 640x480, which can cause problems viewing this website. To correct this on a PC, click the Start button on the bottom Windows menu, then 'Settings', 'Control Panel', 'Display', and then 'Settings'. You should set the display area to at least 800x600, and preferably 1024x768. You will have to reboot the computer for these changes to take place. On a Macintosh, choose the Apple menu, 'Control panels', then 'Monitors & Sound'. Make the appropriate change to the resolution setting and then reboot.
