Something is very wrong with this computer at work. First the desktop was extra large and I fixed that by going into display and appearance and changing the resolution there. That fixed the icons on the desk top. But when we go on the net, it is so large that you can see the pixals, believe it or not. I set 'view' to smallest and it still doesn't make it anywhere near normal. I don't know how it got that way and have looked at every control I can think of and can't find anything else to change. HELP... need a real tec person... What can I do. We can not use the computer like this.

Yes.. that is what I did, maybe I said it wrong, but I did it right. But it doesn't help with the size when we go on the internet.

it might be in your video card setting. try changing the setting in there. also, try to change the settings on your monitor, that might be another problem. if all else fails, hit f8 so that you can get into safemode settings, then select enable VGA mode. that will surely help your monitor settings.

Hi, certain Web Browsers has zoom capabilities, like Opera, you might want to check if you are zooming into your pages.
The correct setting should be 100% if you found that the browser is indeed zooming into pages that you are surfing.
Let me know your screen resolution and browser type if this does not help. Cheers!

sometimes if you hit control and the minus sign then it will zoom out. or you might check your settings in your display section. sometimes it can be on extra large rather than normal. hope that helps i am not really a techy type of person.

You want to INCREASE resolution to make the screen smaller.
