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? John -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
