It sounds like your resolution is wrong.Try this to see if it helps.Go to control panel,click personal,click display settings.On my 15 inch laptop my resolution settings are 1280 x 800 and colour highest 32 bit.To alter resolution just move slider along and when your settings are set click on apply or O.K.

I am not certain about this but its worth a shot.Write down what your settings are now in case it makes things worse so you can apply your old settings anyway then you have nothing to lose.

Open internet explorer. Hold ctrl and work the mouse wheel to the size you wish.
