There's no such thing as a stupid question, but they're the easiest to answer.

internet screen size
I have a new computer with windows 7 home premium. I am used to working with xp and don't think I really like this new system.

But here's a stupid question. My internet explorer pages became very big, such that I had to scroll across to see the whole site--which is not how I like to view things.

How do I change it back to a "normal" size?

Is the text size to large? I would assume this would force you to scroll.

Are you having this issue with all websites or just a few of them.

Thank you for requiring clarification.

All of the sites appear to have blown up on me. They were working fine this morning and then poof! (How's that for a technical response?!!)

I'm sorry. I don't understand. Where is the scroll wheel? I use the mouse on the laptop.

I'm such an idiot.

You should have a scroll wheel between the right and left mouse buttons.
While Pressing the CRTL on the keyboard and dialing the scroll wheel ..
you can adjust the display larger or smaller

Thank you.

I use the touchpad on the Dell laptop, not a regular mouse. There is no scroll wheel. The left and right are next to each other.
