Hello
I have a new laptop with Windows 7 installed, but I am not enjoying using it at all, as everything is huge! I don't just mean the text, the icons and all graphics are effected, and tweaking hasn't helped at all. (reducing the text size is easy)
I have to scroll so much to view a webpage; my e-mails are huge, and the AOL top taskbar is way to big (hogging lots of space)
I did manage to reduce the width of the bottom taskbar through Googling, but I can't find out how to fix the main problem.
So far, I have tried to fix the problem by:
Please can you help?
Many thanks in advance.

So far, I have tried to fix the problem by:
- Updating all related and unrelated software through Windows Update, and then I updated the drivers through Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel.
- Pressing 'Ctrl' and '+' or '-' to zoom pages (this doesn't reduce the graphics or icons though)
- Trying all tweaks on the screen resolution page, including changing the DPI (this just narrows the browser, making it disproportionate and leaving blank sides - the icons and graphics do not change size)
- Making sure that 'Use large icons' in IE is NOT checked. Under 'view' in IE, text size is set at 'medium' - If I set it to 'smaller' then the page looks ridiculous. Also, tried tweaking 'zoom / text size' in IE.
Please can you help?
Many thanks in advance.
