Chet: increase your monitor resolution, then re-center your monitor. to
increase the resolution, go to My Computer --> Control Panel --> Display -->
Settings, and there should be a bar somewhere near the bottom of the Display
Properties window that comes up with the header "Screen Resolution". drag the
bar to the right to increase the resolution, and to the left to decrease it.
note: depending on your monitor and your video card, you may not be able to
use the 32-bit colour setting, and if you can't, get a new monitor/video
card... i'm not exactly sure which of those two it might be that would not
allow you to use full colours, but it's one of those.
