Mikeyyuhas....No trouble. It displays the view the same all the time. Just wondered if we had a method of enlarging the window...Thanks.

Whenever I view the live image of the webcam it only occupies the upper left corner of its window. When I view the recent images, the picture is the full size of the window. Is this the way it is supposed to be? Using windows xp / internet explorer. Anybody else have this problem, or know what I can do to fix it? Thanks

The few times we've heard reports of this happening, a simple computer restart took care of the problem. Seems almost too simple, but give it a try. (We don't know what causes this.)

....I've always wondered if there is a way to enlarge the cam pic....What I get is about 1 1/2 by 4 in. This computer has Win. Xp / MIE and last unit used Win 98se / MIE...Does anyone know how to enlarge the cam pic....?

There's no way to enlarge the picture, alas. Our bandwidth is limited, so our images are relatively small - 320 pixels wide by 120 pixels high.

More info can be found at our FAQ. If, after reading the FAQ, you're still having trouble or desire further info, send me an email at webcam at trains dot com, and I'll do what I can to help.

We'll see if we can adjust the sun for you [8D][:p].

I get the image fine, both on my broadband connection at work, and on dial-up at home. Work is Win2K, home is XP, both IE6
