For best results, your screen should be set to a resolution of at least 800 x 600.

To see if you need to change your screen's resolution.....

	Make sure that this window is maximised; Scroll your screen so that the top 2 dots are at the top of your screen; The 4 blue dots should appear at the corners of your screen; There should not be any scroll bar (slider) at the bottom of your screen. If you can see all 4 dots with out scrolling your screen, you do not need to change your screen's resolution.
