window resizing problem

[espee2]

On my wifes computer, she works from home, logs into a virtual
computer via IE. and has multiple windows open at once not maximized
to see them side by side. (Not multiple instances of IE but the
program she logs into) If she goes to the office she still logs into
the same virtual computer. When she is at the office she is able to
drag a window edge to make it smaller and contents of the window
skrunches too. When she is at home if she slides a window edge the
window contents don't skrunch, it hides part of the contents and she
must scroll side to side in that window to see full window contents.
There must be a setting somewhere to enable (or disable) it so she can
see her home PC the same as the office pc. remember, It is a virtual
PC she logs into so those settings don't change. Is it a IE setting or
a Windows setting?

It sounds like an issue with the screen resolution between the two
computers. Check all the display settings of the remote connection
software.

With the window open, click on 'view' then 'zoom' and set zoom to 50%.

There is no "Zoom" in the view menu? IE 7

Oooops! I'm using IE8. I bypassed IE7 and went directly to IE8. Sorry.

There is no "Zoom" in the view menu? IE 7

Why would *anyone* use IE7 when Firefox, Opera or (as a last resort) even
IE8 is available? Only a glutton for punishment would.

what settings exactly should I look for? resolution itself shouldn't
make it so if a window is squeezed the contents in that window either
reduce size or stay the same and require a scroll bar, I wouldn't
think(?)

I'll install IE8 on her home PC and see if that helps.

possible IE... it got turned into an IE slam...
