    Content that appears in this area cannot be removed at this time

    I am unable to see the navigation buttons at the bottom of the course (appears as if the bottom of the course is ‘cut off’).
    • Your screen resolution must be set at 1024x768 or higher

    To change the screen resolution, follow these steps for Windows XP:

    1. From your Desktop, open My Computer.
    2. Once in there, open Control Panel.
    3. Inside the Control Panel open the Display icon.
    4. Select the Settings tab. You will see a picture of a monitor and some options at the bottom.
    5. One of the options is Screen Resolution with a slide bar under it labeled Less and More.
    6. This bar should be set to 1024 x 768 pixels. If it is not, then you should click on the bar until it is at the correct setting.
    7. Once this is done then you can click on the Apply button. Once the changes take effect you can select the OK button and close all of your windows.
    8. Now try to access the course again and you should have no problems.
