At least once a day my screen will all of a sudden start zooming in...150%...300%...500% and keep going. I will go to the bottom right hand corner of my screen to put it back to 100% but the second that I move my cursor back to the active page everything starts to zoom again. What I normally have to do is restart my computer and then it is fine for a while...sometimes a few days if I'm lucky. I do have a cordless keyboard and mouse and the batteries are new. I've tried searches and can't find anything that addresses this problem. I can't be the only one out there that has had this happen. It is very frustrating!!! Please help!! Oh yeah, I also scanned for viruses and such and nothing...my computer is clean. This only happens when I am on a website...not when I'm working on documents or anything else.

My mouse does have a zoom control on it...but I wasn't touching it when this was happening. I will try turning it off to see if that makes a difference.
And as for my antivirus software and computer protection...IT IS up to date...I'm not an idiot!

so far so good. I turned off the zoom feature on my mouse and haven't had any trouble ...YET! Thanks for the good advice.

Is it at all possible that your cordless mouse settings include a zoom function somewhere? For example, when I bought my HP, the touchpad was set with a "touch zone" for zoom. It was the blamedest thing until I found the device settings and turned it off!

You "scanned" your computer and it is "clean"? Says who? Outdated antivirus software, that may not even check for other malware such as Trojan horses, back doors, or new viruses since the last update?
Yes, you have been hacked. Do not beleive that "scan" of yours, try updating the antivirus software and rescanning. Did you even know your antivirus software has to be up to date to work?

1. HOLDING THE CTRL KEY AND SCROO;ING CAN ZOOM.
2. TRY REINSTALLING IE7 AS YOU MAY HAVE A BETA VERTION W\ BUGS IN IT.
3. IT COULD BE YOUR KEBOARD DOING IT CHEAK THE CTRL KEY TO SEE IF ITS STICKING.
4. ASK A FRIEND TO HELP YOU AS I WOULD NEED TO SEE YOUR PC TO FIX IT.
