I just bought my first Mac, a mac mini, and I have some questions. I am able to change the size of the text in my browser, but my screen is fairly small and I have to scroll across to see everything being displayed. How can I reduce the size of the Desktop, etc. so everything shows?

Hey guy

Guess need to ask a few questions, and suppose that you are talking about scrolling from side to side, horizontally:
resolution setting?
monitor size?
suppose that you have your browser window maximized?
does this happen at all sites that you visit?
with all browsers [safari and/or Firefox, etc.]?

Click the bright blue apple at top left...
Click system prefs...
Click on displays [hardware, 2nd row]
Click on display - what is the res selected?

Got it, yes, it was the resolution. Thank you. Still getting used to the mac. Downloading DMG's, installations, getting everything I used on my PC onto here, and I guess I need a new keyboard .

lol,,, tell ya what, that d/l and then the cleanup of the dmg's,,, that took some learning to do

What size monitor are ya using?

Was looking at mac mini's, but since didn't have a flatscreen monitor, for the cost of both, figured could get an iMac, w/ larger HD and faster/powerful chip, for not too much more. So, far, you like pretty well? Dashboard is

Dashboard is awesome, and I do like it using the mac.

I was kinda limited on funds so I did not buy a monitor as well. I am using an ancient 14" screen I had with my 7 year old PC (which I was constantly upgrading). I am going to get a 19" flatscreen within the next two weeks, I really need one. But then, I will have to change the res. on that too.

Oh, the Genie effect is also pretty neat :up:
