Thanks reply but that's not the answer I set the resolution as max of 
1360*768 or sometimes a little less just to try something different but 
the screen stays the same i.e. equivalent of about 15 inches - if I tick 
the "*wide Screen box*" screen stays the same size but I have to scroll 
the text (picture etc) from left to right to read it.

Is xfile playing silly buggers overriding the settings?
