Basics: See the homepage without scrolling left or right

MSN may not display properly at screen resolutions lower than 1024 x 768. By increasing the computer's screen resolution, you may be able to see the entire homepage without scrolling left or right. A higher screen resolution allows you to see more objects on the screen at once. The resolutions you can choose from are determined by your computer's screen. Generally, a larger screen can support higher resolutions.
