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.

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 all else fails, RTFM. From IE Help:

<QP>
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 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.
