    In the bottom right hand corner can you see where it may say 100%, put your cursor over this and it should say change zoom level. Alternatively it may help if you press control and scroll down one click with your scroll button on your mouse if you have one.

    Anyone have any idea how to fix this problem please:)
  • OK, you may have switched the view of the status bar off which is why you can't see the zoom along the bottom.

    Along the top of the page on the toolbar where you have file / edit / view / favourites etc

    Click on View then Toolbars then click on status bar.

    You should then be able to see the zoom in the bottom right as per Tony69's post.

    What program is this in ?
    Microsoft Word, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Open Office, Windows Explorer

    If it's Microsoft Word, an alternative way to zoom is by holding the CTRL key on the keyboard and scrolling your mouse wheel forward (for zoom in) and backwards (for zoom out) IIRC.
