Another one of my wonderous questions...
Most people here have high resolutions on their computers. I'm just trying 1024x768 but this page doesn't like it!
There is an empty white bar on the right hand side of the page!
Hmmmmm, what's wrong?
If nothing's wrong, then this is the reason why I hate the resolution, nothing really looks right!

1mm?! My 17" runs at 1600x1200 and the writing is at least 5mm high, perfectly 100% readable! Don't lie boy!
and Turbonutter, how is you tagline 25 characters long?

ARGH! Another one! How the hell dare you spend all the money on a 21" monitor and not run it at high res?! It's criminal!

ARGH! Another one! How the hell dare you spend all the money on a 21" monitor and not run it at high res?! It's criminal!
I'm starting to get used to 1024x768
It keeps telling me to run like that!
Stupid monitor!

If I put mine 21" screen on 800x600 it is bad. the start bar is about 30mm big at least! I have mine on 1152x864.
Retards. All of them.

It's because of "Adoption" rates. 2-3 years ago, the norm monitor was 800/600 as at the time, this was the current technology being sold, now the norm is a basic of 1024/768 as monitors become cheaper and better. in a couple of years time it'll be the next one up.
the tide changes on about every 2 years as this is the common length of time for new "settings" to become adopted. Look at the 15 - 17 inch monitor jump, that took ages before 17" became the norm.
So it has nothing to do with turning tides, but PC sales.

That's what Safe Mode does. Puts everything to its lowest possible value.

The most popular resolution on my site is 1024 x 768 (70%) with 800 x 600 at 21% perhaps the tide is turning.
