New Computer Has Me Screwed Up!

No, we're using Internet Explorer. Unless Direcway is something that is part of something else.

Here's ashot of the News/Feedback forum. The titles of the threads are all wrapped. This has never happened before.

Your screen shot, looks like it was taken of mine. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif Same exact problem.

I was hoping Muhammad or Hakim moght jump in here. I noticed that Hakim was reading the thread earlier today when I was checking Who's Online.

Hey guys, any ideas?? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

You mean you've been putting up with this all of this time??? /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif I'd have gone nuts! /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

Uh, uh. No way! This is too confusing and difficult to use. We've just GOT to figure this thing out. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Direcway is a satellite internet service provider. The reason that I asked is that I use Direcway 1-way service, with a dial-up modem connection for outgoing traffic and the satellite dish/modem for inbound downloads, etc.
Beginning the first of June I was finding the screens here displaying with an unusual format (as your screen shot shows) and also having a lot of trouble with "server not found" screens. After dealing with tech support several hours over several days I finally resolved the issue. I believe my problem was with Direcway and their system connectivity, but the solution was related to my "proxy" settings under "tools", "internet options", "connections", "lan settings". Removed the check to disable the proxy and everything has cleared up pretty much. This probably won't have anything to do with your situation, but I was surprised to see the same screen again... Good luck with it.

Yes, for about 3-4 months, sense buying a new computer. It has happened on one other site. But, I don't remember which site, a tractor or farm site.

What does View --> Text Size show up as?

Also along that train of thought Tools --> Internet Options -->
Accessibility? Those options under that should all be unchecked.

Inspector507 and I have the same screen picture. I have a 19 inch monitor with the setting at 800 x 600. I can live with the 3/8ths of an inch of blank space on the right side. I never really noticed it until I say it on the attachment.

It shows up as Medium.

All the other items that you mentioned are not checked.

Note: Also colors do not show up where they should. For example, your quote about the text size should be in blue, but on my screen it's in black. And the color table that is located the lower right of the window where you type your replies does not have any of the colors in it showing. The only thing I see is the question mark in the lower right corner.
