Adjust Your Computer Monitor Screen Resolution
You may experiment with setting your screen resolution to 800x600 or 1024x768 pixels.  To avoid scroll bars use higher settings.  Many people find the ideal setting for working in WebTycho is 1024x768 or higher. Experiment to find the best setting for you.

 In Windows:

  1. Click the Start button from the task bar.
  2. Click Settings
  3. Click Control Panel
  4. Double click on Display
  5. Click the Settings tab
  6. Slide the Screen Resolution bar left and right to the setting you like best.
  7. Click Apply
  8. Click OK

Maximize Windows
To have fewer scroll bars (both horizontal and vertical), maximize your browser window when you are working in your classroom.  This is particularly helpful when creating or editing text.

WebTycho Support does not support third party software. This includes virus-protection, e-mail services, ISPs, browsers, word processing and any other software not developed by WebTycho. To use the third-party software, you must agree to the terms and conditions imposed by the third party provider and the agreement to use such software will be solely between you and the third party provider. However, because browsers required for use with WebTycho, we provide limited assistance in configuring browsers specifically for that purpose.
