I feel kinda dumb, but I'm trying to change my display settings, and am in a fix. I'm now at 848x640, and want to step it up one notch. Problem is I can't see the bottom of the dialogue box to prompt it to apply the new settings. How can I do that? I've tried moving the box around, but not enough space, and I've tried using "tab" to move between the buttons, but that doesn't work either. Please any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!

Tab does move between the buttons.

Hold the Ctrl key and press the Tab key to move between the tabs.

Hold the Ctrl and Shift keys and press the Tab key to move back between the tabs.

Thanks;
I found out that tab did work, my problem was that I forgot to make the resolution changes before tabbing to apply. Of course it simply closed. Funny how you don't think straight when you start getting anxious that things aren't working.
Thanks again.....now I know!!

Here's another alternative for the future:

Alt+Spacebar, M (for move), then use the arrow keys.
 
I've found that this occurs on different windows. I usually go to "Start" - settings - "taskbar and start menu" and check "auto-hide". This hides the taskbar until you place your mouse pointer on it. You can leave it like this, or change it back by un-checking the box when you are done.
