Optimize Viewing of Jerry's Web Site
Jerry's site was designed for optimal viewing when your monitor's screen resolution is set at 1024 X 768 pixels.
If it seems the text is too large or misaligned, and the graphics are running off the right side of your screen, it means your monitor is set at 640 x 480 (or) 800 x 600 and you should reset your screen resolution. (It will make huge improvement for optimal viewing of other websites, too!)
Here's how:
- Click the "Start" button at the left bottom corner of screen.
- Select "Settings".
- Select " Control Panel".
- In the Control Panel, select "Display".
NOTE: Another way to access the Display is to right click on your desktop and click "Properties" (Your "desktop" is the first screen with all the icons that you see on your monitor when you start your computer).
- In the Display Properties box, select the last tab, "Settings".
- Find the "Desktop Area" box, and move the slider to "1024 x 768".
(see illustration below)
- Find the Colors box, select "High Color (32 bit)".
(see illustration below)
- Click "Apply". Your computer will switch to the correct resolution and ask if you want to keep this setting.
- Click "OK".
That's all there is to it!
Multimedia Help
I cannot hear music on Jerry's pages, and/or none of the animated graphics are moving.
- Click the "Start" button at the left bottom corner of screen.
- Select "Settings".
- Select " Control Panel".
- In the Control Panel, select "Internet Properties".
NOTE: Another way to access "Internet Properties is to open Internet Explorer, click "Tools" on the top toolbar, then click "Internet Options".
- On the tabs across the top of the little window, click "Advanced"
- Scroll down the options list until you come to "Multimedia". and verify that options "play sounds in web pages" and "play animations in web pages" are check marked. (see illustration below) Depending on which version of Windows you are using, your options may be somewhat different, however, you still should be able to locate these options to verify that they are activated.
