Question

why is the lower porton of desktop/window is hidden?

Nov 17, 2014 10:59AM PST

The other day when I logged onto my laptop I noticed the user name/password was lower on the screen then normal. After I logged in I noticed that the lower icons and taskbar were not visible. It's as if the lower part of the screen is below my screen. I'm not sure what is happening. When I pull up a webpage I can't see the bottom it either.

Reboot and try again.

There is a Pan and Zoom feature in Windows so I'll note that and wait for you to check settings if the reboot doesn't clear it up.

And no. This OS is far from perfect.
