I've just changed computers and now some websites (mainly facebook) only appear in the centre of the screen with a white band either side.

Since changing my computer some web pages are only showing text, picture etc down the centre of the screen, this one included. Increasing the text size with zoom or changing to full screen do not resolve the problem. A better explanation might be that text does not fill the screen right to left there is a wide margin either side.

Hi

Thanks for the reply, I have tried all these steps and it doesn't solve the problem. I don't know whether I am explaining it properly. It's not making the sites illegible it's just really annoying. The site content is only displayed down the middle of the screen with the first quarter and last quarter being blank, I fear it may be one of those things I have to live with. It's just weird because I have never had this before on my old computer. It won't let me add a screen shot which would probably make it clear what I mean.

Thanks again

Hi

Just tried it and no different. The best way to describe the problem is - It's like when you have a wide screen TV and you switch it to the old mono setting, you can still watch but it's annoying and seems squashed. Does this make any sense?
