More and more websites are hard coded to larger screens. More pixels and such.
Worth noting that with the MICROSOFT CODE LEAK (reference news article at http://news.com.com/2100-7355_3-5160566.html ) found EXPLOITABLE issues.
Right or wrong, your usage of a dated OS and browser may find your machine take the plunge into a truly wierd conniption fit someday.
Best of luck with what you have.

More and more updated web sites (like MSN, Yahoo) no longer open up to fit my desktop window. I have to scroll side to side to see the whole screen. Is there a way to get them to open up to fit the screen? Running win95 and I.E. 4.0. on a Compaq preserio 4540.
