Lost zoom

I am used to right clicking a small picture and choosing "Zoom in" to
magnify it, though sometimes it just stretches the picture horizontally.

I have a new laptop (XP Home) and this feature doesn't appear. How do I
enable it?
 
Install the same add-on you installed on the other machine.
This may be it:

IE5 Web Accessories:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie6/previous/webaccess/default.mspx

For IE6, a minor problem is in Images List you need to press F5 to
refresh the blank list.

This problem has always been there:
From a previous post by Ronnie Vernon MVP:

There is a bug in the web accessories.

To fix it, use Notepad to open ZOOMIN.HTM (found usually in
WINDOWS\WEB ),
and edit it to read both image dimensions before setting any of them:

old contents:
....
h = parentwin.event.srcElement.height * 2;
parentwin.event.srcElement.height = h;
w = parentwin.event.srcElement.width * 2;
parentwin.event.srcElement.width = w;
....

new contents (the 3rd line in the fragment above moved up):
....
h = parentwin.event.srcElement.height * 2;
w = parentwin.event.srcElement.width * 2;
parentwin.event.srcElement.height = h;
parentwin.event.srcElement.width = w;
....

Do the same for ZOOMOUT.HTM.

The link says the add-in is for ie5 and 5.5 only and suggests the
features are included in ie6. My laptop is new and has SP2 with all
updates.

Thanks for the tip about the dimensions.

Yes, I know the link says IE5/IE5.5 but they work in IE6.
You are reading a suggestion I do not see.
They are not included in IE6.
