I don't know how the settings on my laptop got changed, but everything on the
screen is much smaller than it used to be. I already changed the screen
resolution and dpi settings, but didn't seem to help. The small size is most
noticable on the internet, where most pages only take up about half the width
of my screen. How can I change this to the way it orginally was?
Thanks.
 
Hi

You've set the DPI size to 96?

I assume you're talking about while using Internet Explorer... if so
then take a look at your setting in the View - Text Size menu and see if
that doesn't fix it.

I use Firefox as my Web browser because I want a browser that
complies with Web standards. See <http://www.mozilla.org/>.
 
Thanks for the info, but it didn't help. The text size was set at "Largest".
It is not so much the text that is so small, but everything else. For
example, when I'm on a webpage, the left and right 25% of my screen isn't
being used. It is not blacked out, but the page simply won't load anywhere
but the middle 50%. Thanks

What resolution is your screen set to?
 
Try holding down the Cntrl key and scrolling with your mouse scroll. That
changes the text size in IE. YOu have to be in the IE window pane for this
to work.
