laptop screen size too big

[angryassdrummer]

ok feel like an idiot posting this but its getting frustrating
i accidently pressed a button while net surfing the other night and now web pages are too big
this has happened before and it was just a matter of making the screen display its highest setting
however its still on its highest setting yet web pages are now about 1/3 bigger so covers more than one screen
googled this problem and it everyone says the same thing, change the display resolution to its highest
its on 1280x800 which is its highest setting
anything else i can do?
is there shortcut button on the keyboard that changes display settings as thats how i did it, albeit by accident

Have you used the zoom feature in your browser? View->Zoom.

[angryassdrummer]

not unless there is a shortcut key i accidently used, i cant even find the zoom function you talk about

What browser are you using? In IE, you can also adjust the zoom level at the bottom right corner of the browser.

ahhhh that helps
thanks guys!
just wondering how it changed on its own, was typing one minute next it was all huge
weird

The zoom level can change if the mouse clicks on the bottom right tab by mistake or pressing ctrl+ -.

You can change the zoom level in any browser - hold the CTRL and scroll with the mouse wheel.

And Ctrl+0 takes you back to 100 percent.
