hey on my windows 7 laptop firefox does not do it at all but on my windows xp desktop that i have just fixed and restored it seems to zoom in to much in a page is there a way to fix this?

I'm not sure what you mean by "zoom in". Can you post a screenshot?

 

[AussieGuy92]

i have to use the "bottom" or "sideways scroll bar" anyway heres a screen shot

What resolution is your screen set at? What monitor do you have?

As it is, Firefox is not zooming it....you just have a tiny old man resolution... O.O
...800x600?! Ouch...

Control Panel>>Display>>Adjust Resolution

-or-

Control Panel>>Appearance and Personalization>>Adjust Screen resolution

Your monitor will do 1024x768 at 68 Hz. While most people would find that quite restrictive, it will work for simple things like email and the web.

it worked but it cut part of my screen off and i could not see it.

Since you just set up the computer, have you installed your video and monitor driver yet?

 

[AussieGuy92]

yes i have my monitor driver and i am sure that the video card driver.

EDIT: just checked i might have to install the video card driver. i will install them after the 73 sercurity updates
