Monitor Problem with Certain Websites

Question

Hi there, I am having an issue with a wide screen Dell Monitor E198WFPf and some internet sites.

Web pages dont seem to stretch across the entire screen. The content fills up 2/3 of the screen leaving the right 1/3 of the page blank. And the resolution is set at 1440x900. I have tried updating the driver and also changing the resolution and nothing seem to help... Doe anyone have any pointers for me??

TIA

Many websites are designed with a fixed width so the layout can be controlled regardless of the display being used. Because few sites are designed for widescreen displays I have my browser window sized to something suitable and use the remaining desktop space for other things.

Site is http://www.americanbus.com/ and it works fine on mine, which I have a desktop with a widescreen and the one that I am having problems with is a widescreen laptop and a external Monitor. But the laptop (alone) also has the website messed up too?

I have tried re-sizing the window as well.  Any other suggestions?
