Excuse my computer ignorance...I'm still using a 15" monitor (arggg) and the game doesn't fit on my monitor, therefore I am unable to access any of the game operating features located on the bottom of the screen task bar. In fact I cannot scroll or navigate the screen/map whatsoever.

Please help.

you know that 17" monitors are really cheap these days, and even 19" are reasonably priced

Yeah I know...I guess I've been putting off buying a new computer for too long now, I said that once there are games that won't operate on my current system I'd buy something new... time to bite the bullet...computers are reasonably priced now too.

Setting my monitor to 1024X768 did the trick, thanks for your help MarkT...really appreciated that as now I can explore the game, while I shop for a new system.

Is the larger resolution only available on larger monitors?

No it has more to do with your graphic's card. In fact TFT monitors tend to limit resolution regardless of their size.
