Screen Display doesn't fit the Window.

When I run scratch, I'm not getting the right hand side or bottom of the screen.  I can find no obvious way to resize it to fit the window, or to access those parts of the screen I can't see.  Suggestions please.

Hi!

Do you know what screen resolution you are using? You can find out by right-clicking on your desktop in Windows, selecting "Properties," and clicking on the "Settings" tab in the screen that shows up.

There should be a box in that screen that is labeled "Screen resolution." It should be in the format [some number] by [some number] pixels. If you could tell me these numbers, I can help you out.

Scratch requires a screen of 1024 x 768 or larger. On a smaller screen, the Scratch window won't be able to get larger than the screen size and parts of the UI will be cut off.

Try switching your screen resolution or pluggin in an external monitor.

Hey scratch team! How about putting this screen size requirement caveat on the Home page where people can see it without having a really bad experience introducing their children into the world of programming. Or just put "for rich kids only" pop up and and go back to your skateboard.  Where a helmet this time.
