Ford's is cool. I've driven around the outside, and have a friend who's been on the inside to have some fun on there. Bosch's looks like it would be the most fun to play on. I was surprised that they didn't find General Motors track.

I don't see how you figured out which is which. I looked and clicked and clicked and looked some more. I must be missing something...

EDIT:

What I'm missing is how to reset all of the settings on my computer. When I cahnged the resolution, I was able to see the bottom of the picture.

Of course it was too small for my old eyes to read...

Assuming you have XP try this:
Right click the desktop
Click "Properties"
Go to the "Settings" tab
Go to the "Screen Resolution" slider and slide it to your preference (left is bigger right is smaller)

Unless I totally misunderstood what you typed, then I apologize wholeheartedly!!

Don't worry, I had a hard time seeing it too!!

That works to see it, but then all of the print is too small. THe guy that screwed everything told me to hold the Ctrl button and scroll the wheel on the mouse, but that changes other things. I just cant see to get everything the way it was... Thanks for the help.
