I tried all the suggestions, other than the Hookers & Blow due to monitary restrictions. 1024x768 was accessable, but would only show 800x600 at one time. So if I wanted to see the bottom right corner, I basically had to scroll down to the bottom right corner. That sucked.

The reason why I wanted to play around with this is that websites like CP, TSN, etc that I view on a regular basis are too wide for this screen. I'd like to have it set up that I can view a full page on one screen, without having to scroll. That's my main concern. I'm OK with smaller text.

Any other ideas while keeping things 800x600?
Yeah, that's what I was trying to describe in my second paragraph.

Laptops have LCD screens. LCD screens have fixed amounts of pixels. They can't possibly show more pixels, so, the only options are scrolling the whole screen, or possibly having blurry text, because the screen has to translate more pixels into the 800x600 that the screen can show.

Basically, there is no good solution. Try using the smallest text settings in windows and internet explorer, that's about all you can do, but most websites use frames that don't really shrink anyway.

Okay, if that's your problem then just get Opera because Opera allows you to magnify or demagnify any page, incluing all formatting, images, content, video, flash, etc. whereas IE, Firefox, etc. will not. You can also specify several viewing modes that will compress or simplify a page for better visibility.
