the computer says that the screen zoom level is at 100% but not all of the

page can be seen you still have to scroll side to side to see everything. So

when I go to sites like pogo to play games when the game is pulled up you

cannot see all of the game so you cannot play this is a huge problem I hope

yall can understand my question and help me fix it.
 
you might try resizing the

desktop resolution.



right click on desktop>

properties>settings>

screen resolution.

When all else fails, RTFM. From IE Help:





If you have a mouse with a wheel, hold down the CTRL key, and then scroll

the wheel to zoom in or out.



If you click the Change Zoom Level button , it will cycle through 100%,

125%, and 150%, giving you a quick enlargement of the webpage.



From the keyboard you can increase or decrease the zoom value in 10%

increments. To zoom in, press CTRL+PLUS SIGN. To zoom out, press CTRL+MINUS

SIGN. To restore the zoom to 100%, press CTRL+0.

If your browser is is already set to Maximize, then the problem is the

Desktop resolution is set lower than what the page is designed for.

R-click the Desktop, select Properties, Settings, and Drag the Screen

Resolution slider to the right to say 800x600 and apply.

When at the POGO site click view then zoom and set where you want it.

I did that and it did not do anything.

If you also have to scroll to see all of the Desktop, look at the

Display Properties, Settings tab, and make sure the two displays are

both set to the same screen resolution so there's no panning.



Otherwise, if there aren't two slides in the Settings area, use the

buttons on the front or side of the monitor to adjust the horizontal and

vertical size till the whole screen is visible.

I think I understand the

problem:



your desktop is expanded/

extended beyond the

screen.



what you need to do is

to find out what your

screen resolution

should be.



you might also try

all the resolutions

available.



mine is 1280x800

On an LCD monitor, there's sometimes a button to Auto-adjust the screen

to fit. If not, there should be a similar option within its menu.
