I've been having trouble finding an item on a web page. The owners of the 
page tell me:

this setting  please adjust your Display settings to any resolution higher 
than 800x600.

terrible mess that I had a hard time getting out of. I'm not anxious to do 
it again, but need to see the "hidden" items on this page. .. ..???
Thanks
