Don't get me wrong here. It is doing what it is meant to do - and I'm sure W98 did the same thing...but not with the same problem.
When I click for the start menu, I get the pop up menu - which is, say a display size of approx two and a half inches wide (on my fifteen inch monitor - which has a viewing width of eleven and a half inches).
Start loading software into the machine and it lists them all up in a column that is about three and three quarter inches wide. This column can accept twenty nine programme titles.
Programme thirty will generate a second column for listing. Once you get to fifty eight programmes, you then have two full columns and the start menu...a total of some nine and three quarter inches.
Load software disc number fifty nine and you now get column three - which is the same three and three quarter inches wide....but you can only see the first half inch or so of it....and much of that is taken up by an icon.
I somehow need to shrink the width of the columns.
