For better viewing:
1. Make sure you window is at full screen (box icon upper right).

2. Is the right window too small?
    You can increase the size by just grabbing the left-right screen divider with the mouse and dragging it left.
    Do you have your "Favorites" folder up? Shut it down and it will give you more space.

3. Can you move the thumbnail (top) pictures?
    There are small triangle on the right and left sides of the thumbnails (upper pictures). Click on these to move the pictures.
    Click on the thumbnails to view the pictures.

4. Do your Navigation bars (top) take up too much space?
    This will give you more screen height.
    A: Move your mouse up to the bottom of the Navigation bars
    (Light gray area above "Wildflower Trails of the San Francisco Bay Area").
    B: When the mouse hand changes to double arrows, hold the right button down and drag
    upwards.  Some information may disappear, so be sure to move it down again after viewing.

5. Do you see all the pictures?
    Above the pictures is a line which tells you how many there are. 
    The thumbnails at the top have arrows on the left or right. Click on these to see more pictures.
    You may have to move the scroll (bottom and right) bar to see the arrows.

6. Set your monitor resolution higher & get more viewing area.
    This will enable you to view web pages better and have to use your scroll bars less.
    We recommend you have at least a 1024 X 768 setting (detail of display) to see more and see better.
    The trade off is the letters and pictures are slightly smaller.
    Generally choose the smallest writing you can live with.
    A: For MS Windows XP: Go to "Start" (lower left), "Setting" and
    "Control Panel"
    B: In "Control Panel", double click on "Display" (TV icon).
    C: Click on the "Settings" tab. At the lower left will be a slider
    and you can adjust the settings here. Again, set to at least 1024X768, & 16 bit is ok, but 32 bit is best.
    Higher is better, but be sure you can still read the type size and that your compute doesn't slow too much.
