    Zoom Problem


    Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section, I'm new to this forum.

    I got my desktop upgraded to Windows 7 and everything seems to be fine except the fact that everything is zoomed in. I really don't know much about computers but a couple of people told me it had to deal with the screen resolution. When I went to adjust the screen resolution I went to
    ControlPanel>Display>ScreenResolution
    But the resolution option was not highlighted so I wasn't able to adjust it. Does anybody know if I'm doing something wrong or if it's another problem its self?

    This is how the forum looks.

    Try to right click on desktop >personalize>display>then change it the way it suits you.

    If that does not work. Control panel>display>adjust resoulution and then use the drop down menu.

    That's what I tried at first but the for some reason it doesn't give me the option to adjust it so I can't use the drop down menu.

    This is what it look's like when I go to that menu

    I think you want to check this setting, It also looks like you may want to update your graphics driver.

    Type device manager in search. Go there. Then make sure that there are not yellow warning markers. Then update the driver for the video card (video adaptors)

    I am gonna make a stupid suggestion, maybe you've tried. If not give'r a go.


    Hold CTRL and hit the plus or minus sign to zoom in or out. Can't hurt



    ***EDIT**** I know it works on FF and Chrome, not sure about IE though.

I'm not sure how it happened, but it looks like something has changed my user profile in Windows 7 to show really big dumb looking UI elements (e.g. scroll bars) and to zoom in too close to text. Every time I load a page in Internet Explorer, it is zoomed in too close. I zoom out again but it...
