Robert,

I think I understand Bob (and Mum) to be saying they got a better clarity/readability from their monitors by tinkering with the Contrast and Brightness settings buttons on the external monitor itself.

I think you might be referring to a problem with screen resolution itself for the current screen settings you are using. See your Vista Control Panel, Personalization, Display Settings dialog then choose a screen resolution ofat least 1024 vertical, if you can (e.g. 1280 x 1024 or 1680 x 1050). This should make everything show up, with no cut off bottom tabs. If you can't get such a vertical resolution (e.g. you can only get 1440 x 900 or 1280 x 960 or something less than 1024 as the 2nd number), then on a horse's PP screen, try hitting the '2' icon at the top section of a horse's PPs to adjust 2 panels to fit within the available screen height. The icon looks like this (on Version 0.98.5)

Hopefully this will make all your tabs fully visible. If you can get the 3 panels with a vertical resolution of 1024 or higher, but that makes your text too small for comfort, you can try increasing the font size in RDSS using the new Font Zoom setting in the Configure window to something like 120% (or higher).

Let us know if this helps.
