Hey I just got Vista today, and I noticed that a lot of websites

look way smaller then they used to, comcast.net (my homepage) is so small I
can hardly read the fonts....Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Spirit, View(visible) does NOT come by default in IE7. You have to go to
Tools 1st, and click on(install) Menu Bar.

Why don't you read other people's posts, instead of thinking that you know
it all!

You might learn something!

Hi Spirit. It is a weird way they have set it up. You have to look for the
menu bar for "file, edit, view, etc"(menu bar) when you first open IE7.
With IE6 it was all there to start with.

I had to ask on here how to get my email in it, so that it was the same as
IE6.

Have a great day, or night!

Is it only with websites, or Windows Explorer, Word, Excel, any program really?
If it is all, it could be your screen resolution.

When you say that you just got Vista today,-
Did you install it/someone installed it for you or a new PCF with Vista
installed?
