Why
doesn't Taking Stock fill up my computer's entire screen?
Taking Stock is designed to fill up the entire screen for monitor
resolution settings of 800 x 600 only. If it doesn't fill up the
entire screen, your monitor's resolution is likely set to 1024 x
768 or higher. To change the resolution size to 800 x 600, click
on the Display icon in the Control Panels folder, choose the Settings
tab and then set the Desktop Area to 800 x 600. You may not want
to change your monitor's resolution because it may affect how your
other programs appear on the monitor.

and the calculations will not change.
