    I have to scroll left and right to read what is on a screen. It's been that way for a while and I'm getting tired of it. How can I reduce it so I see a whole screen on my monitor?

    Hitting F11 or F 12 doesn't help.

    Using XP, IE8, Crazy Browser.

    Thanks.

    What size monitor do you have? What is your resolution setting?

    So, it was not that way but then changed, right? Did you change some setting just before this happened? Does text look the same size in both browsers? What about other apps such as word processing? Has their appearance on screen also changed?

    When using IE, do you know how to change the size of text you see on a web page? To change it, you can either click on View and then select Text Size, or you can hold down your Ctrl key and use the wheel on your mouse to zoom in or out.

    I'm not familiar with Crazy Browser. If fact, I'd never heard of it until now so I verified it exists: http://www.crazybrowser.com/

    Many thanks for replying.

    Complete dunce at this so I don't know where I'd find resolution.

    Monitor -- the actual glass size is 11 inches, side to side.

    Text is set at Smallest.

    Word processing screen is fine.

    The CTRL + mouse wheel appears to be working. I'll give that a shot and see if it sorts out other pages.

    I've used Crazy for years, but it does mean I have to keep my IE version up to date even if I rarely use it.

    Many thanks for your help. I think I can figure it out now. If not, I'll be back.

    Cheers.
