Some of the websites don't show properly on my 17" wide screen. Either
they are small fonts centered to the middle of the screen or big fonts
with overlapping text. Some site like this one, are okay.
Anyhelp would be appreciated.

Thanks
Dan

I doubt it has anything to do with being a dell or a laptop.
You should clarify your question with what software you are using to
browse with and all processes running in background...perhaps that
will lead to an answer.  Also, a list of sample websites that you are
experiencing this problem so that those that are answering your
question can try and duplicate the problem.

I had that problem a few minutes ago. Dell laptop, but my guess is
it's a Firefox problem, well actually a page problem with some sort of
nonstandard MS Java script and firefox expects standard java.  Try it
with IE if you are brave enough and if it works it's a page problem
caused by page programmers and failure to test page on other browsers.
