To check or change your monitor resolution: Click the "Start" button on your desktop, choose "Settings", select "Control Panel", double click "Display", and select the "Settings" tab. Depending on which Windows operating system you have, an area of the screen before you will be labeled as the "Screen Area" (Windows 98, 2000, or XP), "Desktop Area" (Windows 95 or NT), or "Display Area". Within that area of the screen, move the slider bar to read "1024 by 768 pixels".

Windows 95, 98, 2000, XP users: Click on the "Apply" button. A dialog box will pop up indicating that Windows will now apply the new desktop settings, but if the settings do not appear correct, the original settings will be automatically restored in 15 seconds. Follow the instructions displayed.

Please note: If you cannot set your resolution to at least 1024 x 768, although you will be able to access the functionality of the FOREX.com trading system, the screen shown within your browser will not look the same as the screen shown on the first page of the User Guide. Furthermore, the lower your resolution is set, the more difficulty you will experience in using various parts of the trading system screen.

Accessing through a firewall: If you are using the FOREX.com trading system within a company network, please contact your technical support staff. If you are using the trading system from within a small business office or home, please contact your ISP's technical support staff.
