That is similar to what I was thinking Bob.  I have not used Millenium but 
if it is like other versions, you open the control panel and go to Display. 
Go to Settings and adjust the screen resolution to a higher number like 1024 
by 768 if your video card and monitor will take it.  Some computers and 
monitors will not do that.
