6_pac- I fixed it, I fixed it. I was reading thru a link you suggested, from a user named Grandpa, I believe. Anyway his problem wasn't the same, but he suggested going to the start up icon of LW,and clicking on preferences to change something he was explaining in his post. When I went to preferences, I noticed under the "compatibility" tab, under "settings" I had a check mark on "run on 640 x 480 screen resolution. I unchecked that, applied the new settings, restarted my computer, and restarted LW too, and the resolution stayed nomal. I rebooted again, just to be sure, and everything stayed the way it should be. I'm glad you suggested those links, but I feel dumb it was something so easy, which I didn't snap about checking. I Guess thats what these forums are for, huh. Thanks for your interest in helping too Ursula. Thanks 6_pac, you rock!!
