Q: Choices, Choices does not fill my screen. How can I enlarge the display?
A: The Choices, Choices series was designed for a display resolution of 640X480. If the program does not fill your screen, you can correct this by reducing your display resolution to 640X480, using the following instructions. If at a later time you wish to return to your original resolution, follow these steps and switch from 640X480 to your earlier settings.
On a Mac of OS 8 or 9, you can set your screen resolution through the Apple Menu, under the Control Panels list.

2. Your current resolution setting will be listed to the right of the Monitors control panel. Make a note of this current setting for future reference.
3. Select the 640X480 resolution option in the list on the right hand side.
4. Close the Monitors control panel.
On a Mac OS 10 system, running the program in Classic Mode, set your screen resolution in the OS X environment, prior to launching the application, and it should carry through into Classic.
1. From the Apple Menu, click System Preferences.
2. Click the Displays icon, listed in the Hardware subsection.
3. To the left, in the Resolutions field, make a note of your current setting and select 640X480. Your screen should automatically resize at this point.

On a Windows XP computer, you cannot set your global resolution to 640x480.
