Vista "turns" off kill switch
I just tried Netflix.com (had never been there before). It opened fine
(filled screen) using Firefox. IE displayed it exactly the same way. As for Firefox ... I have it set to automatically update. The last was a few days ago to version 2.0.0.11. I appreciate all the help and suggestions but I think we've beaten this issue into the ground. Someday the reason will become apparent. In the meanwhile D.Duck's theory seems to make a lot of sense. I'll just keep using Ctrl+ One more whack at the dead horse, if you please. When I go to yahoo.com using Firefox on my wide-screen notebook, I get the same experience as you. However, I also use Yahoo as my home page, but I don't use the generic yahoo.com page, I use a customized page that is accessed at my.yahoo.com. Going to my.yahoo.com using Firefox displays my home page using all the real estate of my wide-screen. Note that there is some sort of beta version for my.yahoo going on, and I am *not* using the beta version, I'm using the old version. Not sure if that makes any difference, but I thought I'd give you a heads up. There are plenty of good reasons to customize your Yahoo home page. You can configure it to include only the type of content you want to see, and items such as weather and market data can be customized for your particular location or portfolio, respectively. Yahoo provides a very easy configuration tool for customizing your home page that is accessed from the generic page at yahoo.com. You have to initially register with a login id and a password, but once you set your my.yahoo page as your home page in your browser, you never have to log in again, a cookie is saved to the HD. I think this will not only solve your wide-screen issue, but will offer a better home page solution in general, as well. Works for me. RG |

As a matter of fact, I *do* have a old custom Yahoo page setup that I had forgotten about. I'll give it a try when I go home and use the wide screen laptop. (On the boat tonight). It was interesting trying to figure out why some pages display differently in different browsers. Still a bit of a mystery. Eisboch |
