when I open PS3, the screen and the fonts are so large that I can't get past
the opening screen where you select whether you want to work on an existing
file, or open a new one. I can't get to the "Next" box to move to the next
screen. any help would be appreciated.
 
Maybe you need to adjust your screen resolution.

If you right click your desktop...and from the menu...
choose...Properties / Settings tab.

What is your Screen Resolution set on? On my 17"
monitor, I find 1024x768 to be a good choice.
 
thanks John, this worked. I have to do this however, evry time I load in
PS3..any way to fix it permanently? I have a 17" laptop as well, so I am
using the settings you suggested and it resizes back to normal...but I have
to do it every time.
 
If you change your screen resolution, it should retain
the new setting. I assume you are clicking...Apply / OK?

Otherwise I don't know the answer...maybe the
following articles will offer some ideas:

John...thanks so much for your help. I found the permament solution today.
I right clicked on the PhotoStory3 icon, went to properties and found that
somehow I had checked "always open with 640x something"...once I unclicked
that everything worked find. I think at some point I was trying to email a
PS3 and had saved the project in the 640Xsomething and it just stayed there
all this time. I really appreciate your help....PapaJohn said you were the
man!
 
You're welcome...and I'm glad you found
your fix...I would never have expected that
you changed that setting.

Thanks for the update.
