In complex installation scripts it is not always possible to trap the 
error codes of nested script invocations or utilites.  I'm sure this is 
just a last level of checking by the ever flexible and much more astute 
human involved in the installation.

Move the "arrows" until the measurement on the screen match the 
comparable measurement on a ruler placed on your display device. When 
they are both set, accept the settings with the button provided in the 
lower right corner.
