Most all of my installs shake out with IE8 zoom at 125% and Larger Text size, with the native or maximum screen res. I think this is fairly standard for widescreens.
Everything is huge on new laptop, and I don't know how to reduce....

This apparently the AOL on IE. Here is how mine looks (set at 100%) - I usually use 125% though.Hi again WHS
When using my old XP laptop, and opening my AOL mailbox, it took up about a fifth of the screen and you could see more than double the amount of e-mails compared to using the Windows 7 laptop.
What do you think about the Internet Explorer screenshot I posted at #15, particularly the size of the ads compared to the text size?
Sorry
:)

Hmm. Are you using a lower Screen Res? The native (highest) resolution tends to make things quite small, requiring a higher zoom.
I dont' know if we've asked you yet if you've updated your Display Driver? Check optional Windows Updates, or the Support Downloads webpage for the computer or display adapter model.

This is definitely a screen resolution thing. On a laptop, you typically need to set it to the highest available resolution.

Has the OP tried: Start - Search - type "enlarge" and click on Make text and other items larger or smaller. ?
Mine defaulted at 125%. Can be reduced to 100%

Hi again :)
I updated everything available in Windows Update, and then the drivers were updated through the Intel 'Graphics and Media control panel' shortly after setting up the laptop.
My screen resolution is as high as it will go at 1366 x 768 (if I try adjusting this to a lower number, I just get narrow pages)
The screenshot below shows how I keep the resolution settings:
