Hi Jack,

Without a little more information, I am guessing that the display 
resolution is too low to fit the full page on the screen. But the big 
question is how much can you increase the resolution with the monitor 
and video memory you have.

To adjust it, find an open space on the desktop and right click. That 
will pop up a menu. Left click on 'Properties' and then the 'Settings' 
tab. At the bottom of that box you will see a slider for the resolution 
and a selection for the number of colors. You may have to trade off 
colors for size if you don't have enough memory. Since few of us can 
actually see 16 million colors, that is not necessarily a bad thing.

Most versions of MS-Windows will let you change those settings and 
return to the current settings if it doesn't work. You may have to play 
with it to find the optimal combination.
