I am using an old CRT display, can I NARROW the aspect so I don't have to scroll rightwards?

Almost every website flows over the edge of the available visual field on this old monitor, so I must scroll to the right simply to see the whole field. I realize that this is for the newer, wide-aspect ratio displays, but isn't there a way to automatically narrow the field to fit my screen? I will try to change my display settings, but that will make the type much smaller, I think.... Take care, and thanks, DAVID

What is the resolution (width and height) of this screen?

Some websites still display fine with 1024x768, but a lot require a wider monitor to avoid scrolling horizontally.
If you have less than 1024x768 then you should consider buying a LCD monitor.
An LCD screen is probably much cheaper then what you have payed for the CRT screen and is also much easier for the eyes (pixels are one to one and no flicker).
