Are you using IE as your default browser? I've never used YM 8.1 or even 8.0 so I'm not sure if they made changes to the preferences. In 7.5, there is no setting for screen resolution but there may be in 8.0.x so check your preferences first... should be under main Messenger Menu, then Preferences.
If that doesn't work. Then I would do a full uninstall, registry cleanup and clean reinstall. Here's my blog on how I do a clean install. http://lennyvasbinder.blogspot.com/2007/11/how-i-always-do-clean-instal-ofl- yahoo.html Lenny Vasbinder FREE and automatic online remote backup of your documents, photos and files... https://mozy.com/?ref=SY4ZSI Check out how simple and secure it can be to use the Mozy remote backup system.
