What is your display resolution? Right-click on a blank spot on the Windows desktop and select Properties from the pop-up menu, then select the Settings tab in the Display Properties dialog box. Your display resolution should be listed right under the arrow/slider in the lower right section of the Settings tab. If it says something like 640 x 480 or 800 x 600, you may want to try moving the arrow to the right until it says 1024 x 768. If your display resolution is 1024 x 768, then you may have your display set up to use Large Fonts. I tested this on my Win98SE system and found the same problem that you are experiencing. If that is the case, you might try changing back to Small Fonts (usually available by clicking the Advanced... button on the Display Properties/Settings tab), if your eyes can handle the smaller fonts. If you can't handle the smaller fonts, you could try going to a higher display resolution ( 1152 x 864 or 1280 x 720 ) if your graphics card supports those resolutions, but you still may find the font sizes uncomfortable. Don't know what to tell you about the slider, since it works fine on my Win98SE system. You could use the arrow keys in the bottom left corner of the Game List to navigate through the Game List, but that would be cumbersome if you had a really big database.
