I just had a new hard drive installed, along with IE7, and the pages are too
wide to fit on my monitor screen. I have to scroll left and right to read the
page.How can I adjust this so the entire page fits? I use the setting at the
bottom, but it's not permanent--I have to reset it everytime I log on. Thanks
for any help.
 
Have you tried other web browsers such as Firefox or Opera?
They should display your pages correctly and provide you with more security.

What is your screen resolution?

800x600. I went in and changed it to 75% still a bit too wide and had to change the font size. On the bottom of IE where you can change the zoom,80% gives me the size I need, but couldn't do that in the screen resolution box in control panel

PS. Not sure how you are replying but your response is showing as part

As for your issue, try changing your resolution to 1024x768. The entire
desktop will be smaller but the web page will fit better. The other
option might be to set the font site in IE. View|Text Size| on the
toolbar. Make it smaller. It will shrink fonts but not images. The
default is medium.

Some webpages are wide. Most should fit 800x600 however, but you may
just be visiting some that are wide. You can reset the resolution easy
enough if you don't like it.

You need to go to at least 1024x768 to take care of your problem.

What she did was start her reply right after a ">" character. That
really messes things up.

A finer resolution will correct her problem

Yep that was one of my suggestions. But some people hate 1024x768,
thus the 2nd suggestion to reduce text size. I have a 15.4inch laptop
and its set for 1280x800 Even smaller. And I like it. Its readable.
And widescreen too. I get so much more on a page.
