Right-click on your screen, gunny m, outside of any windows. It'll bring up a drop-down menu. Left-click on properties at the bottom of it.

There should be a row of tabs; pick the one on the right that says settings. That should give you a thing that says screen area, down and to the right. Left click the slider in the middle, and move it one or two notches to the right. Then click the apply button at the bottom right.

See if that helps...

gunnay...my screen print should be seen in your normal size. Is this better?

CrazyIvan · 11-21-2007, 10:51 AM

Gunny M, Hold down the "CTRL" key while you are in internet explorer and scroll the wheel on your mouse up & down. It changes the aspect-ratio of your internet font. You can also change it by going to "VIEW" -> "Text Size" and selecting it there. If you have IE 7.0, you can change it in the bottom right of the screen. You'll see a number with a "%" sign next to it, that is it. Click that & select the % you want.

EDIT:

If it is taking place everywhere, you have changed your resolution. Go to Desktop (minimize all windows) and right click out in space (not on any icons). Select "Properties" then click on the "SETTINGS" tab at the top. Slide the bar where it says "Screen Resolution" to the right. Click apply on each one until you find the one you like.
