ZOOM Problem in IE8

In the last few days, my IE8 has been opening my homepages (3) tabs in
various zooms. One day it's 400%, the next day 50%, etc.; it's simply not
holding to the 100% as it should.
I'm using Vista 32 bit Ver.6 (SP2)Home Premium. I keep my Win Updates set to
Automatic so I'm totally up to date.
Anyone else have this problem? And have a fix for this? I know this isn't a
big deal because I just hit the zoom button and return it to normal but this
is getting annoying.
Thanks for listening to me whine,
Indyfox

Hi,
In Internet Options> Advanced> Accessibility> check "Reset zoom level for
new windows and tabs."

Then reset each homepage to 100% before closing. See if that sticks.

Thanks so much, Don! I did what you suggested...should have thought of that
on my own...Kind of a "DUH" situation there!

I'll have to watch for a few more days to see if it sticks but I'm hopeful.

Thanks again, Sue
