Default Just need a quick fix. I hope.

Can someone please show me how to adjust this, for some reason I'm not sure why my screen display while at websites became very large, I've tried but don't know how to adjust it back to the way it was.

It went from something similar to this.


And now this. my usual screen resolution is 800 x 600. I had to change it to 1024 x 768 for the above screen shot.

What are you using for a browser? In IE8 you click on the Page button up on the Command bar and when it opens you click on Zoom. In Zoom you can adjust the size to your desired level. You can also accomplish the same thing by clicking on View in the Menu bar.

Simple....
hold down the CTRL key and press the - key to reduce, and + to increase the size of the text in those windows.

Alternate: Hold down the CTRL key and scroll the mouse wheel forward or back.

That fix it?

Thank you mel8again and Thaylok that works great, Ive only just recently noticed the magnifying glass with 150% next to it in the lower right corner, it's new to me I guess since my last OS reinstall, or maby the update to IE7. still no idea how I could've changed that without knowing it LOL. thank you for your help.
