Web page design is very different from the print media. A page which looks astonishingly beautiful on your computer might be completely messed up on another. In the print media, you are quite sure that whatever you design on the computer will show up on paper. However, the display of the web page is determined by many factors most of which are beyond our control. The display of a web page is strongly dependent on the browser on which it is viewed, the screen resolution used by the monitor, color depth of the monitor, compatable fonts, the operating system used by the computer and much more. These web pages are written for a screen resolution of 800 x 600 pixels.

To change your screen resolution Open Display in Control Panel. On the Settings tab, under Screen resolution, drag the slider until you select the screen resolution you want, and then click Apply. When prompted to apply the settings, click OK. Your screen will turn black for a moment. Once your screen resolution changes, you have 15 seconds to confirm the change. Click Yes to confirm the change; click No or do nothing to revert to your previous setting.
