    scrubbed as in wiped, if so, did they install the correct drivers - look in device manager

    click the zoom button, in IE, bottom right, or alt, view text size.

    a disk image backup avoids such problems http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.aspx

    Control and + buttons will increase your text size.
  • Try holding down the ctrl key while you turn the wheel on the mouse.

    The above will increase the font size in internet explorer.

    If the machine has been reinstalled I would look at the Graphics Proerties (usually right click on the desktop) and set to a lower resolution.

    This will increase the size of all text on the machine.

    I have a problem today with my new mobile. Everything is zoomed and I am unable to read it as I can only see a little bit. When I want to increase the writing on my lap top I just pull the area next to the right and left click button I have tried to do this on the phone but no joy. It is probably very simply I tried going into settings but I cant really see the writing there as I can only see one word or a few letters of a word.
    Would appreciate advice on this

    Thanks Sue
