Windows Forum / Windows XP / Customization / January 2007WOW EVERYTHING IS SO BIG
Opened AOL this morning and everything was so big, even when maximized it would not all fit onto my screen. Not only AOL but every web site I opened. I've been trying to figure out how to reset the size back to normal as I open many windows at one time and would like to be able to see the edges of the ones I'm not using on my computer sreen (so I can flip back and forth very quickly). Please help me!!! This is quite frusterating to say the least! Thanks Brian > Opened AOL this morning and everything was so big, even when > maximized it would not all fit onto my screen.

Change the screen resolution to a higher one. http://www.freeemailtutorials.com/microsoftWindows/changingScreenResolution.cwd  SignatureShenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Thanks for the quick reply. However, I've tried adjusting the resolution and this is not the problem. I've seen people adjust their screens/windows in this manner i.e. slightly vision impaired folks. This is proving to be arduous. > Opened AOL this morning and everything was so big, even when maximized it > would not all fit onto my screen. Not only AOL but every web site I opened.

Hold down the Ctrl key and scroll the mouse wheel. One direction makes everything larger, the other smaller. This is a Windows standard, and works in many applications.

CTRL+Scroll Wheel has always increased the size of the text on a web page (given a true text on the web page in question) - but in IE7 - it does everything on the page - yes.

Nope, it worked in prior versions of IE, too. Also Word, Excel, WordPerfect, and many other programs.

As soon as I went to a different address I found myself in V.7, where it worked fine. rs : > Ken, this is true for IE7 but (unless I missed a memo) not for prior : > versions.
