NOTICE:

It is strongly recommended that in order to enjoy your tour in our site set your screen resolution to 1024x768 (pixels/inch) or higher. Although our best efforts have been done, the annoying presence of scrolling bars could not be avoided with 800x600 or less resolutions. Also the images at our galleries are big enough and if you want to see the most out of them please do the following:

1) To the left side of your taskbar, on default to the bottom of your screen at Windows, is an icon of a monitor screen. Left-click on it once and you have the list of your available screen resolutions. A check mark to the left side indicates the present state of your monitor. If not at 1024x768 or higher, left-click this resolution at the 16-bit, 24-bit or 32-bit (lower) areas of the table. Your monitor screen darkens and comes back in a couple of seconds with the new settings. If your screen is "trembling" (flickering) with the new settings you should try to increase your monitor's refresh rate. This is done with various ways depending on your operating system through the "Monitor properties" menu (Windows 9X) - OR -

2) Depending of your VGA adapter (monitor card) software you may find different or no icons at your taskbar. If so, right-click on your desktop and choose "Properties" (bottom of the opening window) then "Settings" (top right tab). There you find the drop-down menu "Colors" (bottom left) and the "Screen area" slider (bottom right). The "Advanced" button opens the "Monitor properties" dialog among others. Try a new setting, changing one step at a time, and press "Apply" then "OK" to activate.

No matter what Windows say if they worn you, experiment with these menus with no fear - if anything goes wrong your previous settings will be restored automatically after 15 seconds. An average setting is 16-bit colors or more, 800x600 screen area or more and at least 85 Hz refresh rate from Monitor properties. My suggestion is try to get used to 1024x768 Screen area even with 15" monitors. After a few days you will suffocate working to 800x600!

If despite that you wish to stay to 800x 600 or cannot change it, press the F11 key on your keyboard and you get a full-screen view with your browser. Pressing F11 again restores your window. (This works with latest editions of the Microsoft Explorer. Netscape Navigator users click the left sidebars of your top menu to fold. Click again to restore. For other browsers please check your relevant "Help" menu and if kind enough post us to submit.)

To restore your resolution from 1024x768 back to 800x600 click again to the screen icon and set your original values. Usually the window that comes up is not active and - most probably - larger than your screen. Press F11 to activate it and jump to the full screen mode and, if desired, F11 again to return to your normal view. If F11 doesn't work click first anywhere in your screen to make it active.
