Technical Tips

This site is best viewed with the latest version of either Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer.

Screen Size
Most pbs.org sites are designed for screen resolutions of either 800x600 pixels or 640x480 pixels. On a 640x480 screen, the graphics and text will appear larger but you will see less at one time without scrolling. On a 800x600 screen, you should be able to see most of the main screens without scrolling.

To change your screen resolution, look for "Display Properties" or "Monitors & Sound" in your Control Panel.

Font Size
PBS sites are best viewed when your default font is set to "Medium" on Internet Explorer or Times New Roman size 12 on Netscape Navigator. If your font size is set significantly larger or smaller than these, you may experience some distorted graphics.
