First, Kelly, please don't send a mail to the list by replying to 
something else. It screws up the threading and without a proper subject 
line, people may not read your question.

Second, go to system->preferences->screen resolution. Increase the 
resolution there. That'll make more items fit on your display.

That usually is the case when things are "too big" to fit on the 
display. If that doesn't work, you're looking next at having to send in 
what your display card and drivers are...
