IE 6 - Page is too large for screen

macmaulding · 06-23-2008, 07:34 PM

Once upon a time, everything fit on the screen, now it does not. I have searched everywhere I can think of, but no joy. I have just spent the day with Microsoft removing Antivirus XP 2000, but this problem occured prior to this infection. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Is your IE window actually maximized?

Look in the upper-right corner, the middle button icon should be the double-window. If you see it as a single-window icon, it's not maximized.

The virus may have changed your resolution settings or even uninstalled the video driver. Look in Device Manager to confirm the driver is loaded, then change your resolution to something higher . . 1024 x 768 or higher

Driver is fine. Higher resolution makes it too small. Tried "magnifier" setting at 1 instead of default setting of 2 - made little or no difference. Any more ideas? Thank you
