Installation screen too big, cannot get to the forward button

[Harold Yost]

I am totally stopped on the screen during installation that you pick your time zone because the window is to large vertically, and I cannot get to the Foward button to proceed. I have tried everything I can think of, enter, tab, any combination of keys, trying to change the resolution, start in safe mode, and more. This is with Ubuntu 7.10, but have always had this problem on two different computers for other versions, but this is the first time that I am totally stopped from installing. I have found where others have this problem, but no solutions.
