why is my screen images and text only filling up about 2/3 of my screen? The text and images are much smaller than other browsers i have utilized. Can you help get the text & images larger to fill out my screen?

Try using Ctrl+0 to restore zoom to normal (Ctrl+- zooms out, Ctrl++ zooms in )

If that doesn't work see what you have for Tools > Options > Content > Advanced (see picture)

For more control over zooming things see these links

Thanks dmcritchie! The Ctrl ++ option does work for me now, i was hoping for something more permanent so that i wouldn't have to do those adjustments for every webpage I view. Thanks.
