when i view some websites, such as foxnews.com, only 3/4 of the screen is utilized. i am wasting 1/4 of my screen. is there a way to force IE7 to utilize all of the available space on my widescreen like other programs do???

thanks in advance for your reply.

That is actually based on how the website has it set-up, that site does not scale so you are stuck with it.

what do you mean by this? do you want the pages to be stretched to fit the screen or does ie not open to the full portion of the screen?

edit: or you can make the font bigger by holding ctrl + scroll wheel on mouse

Hey Jack, some sites scale, others do not, and foxnews is set to make anyone at 800x600 happy....so 80's of them lol.

Fox News, ABC News, CNN, BBC, Yahoo -- I'm not finding any news sites that will expand to fill my browser. Which ones aren't in the 80's?
