Narrow internet pages

Hi I have a new Desktop pc with windows 8 but all my internet pages are compressed into a narrow line about 4 inches wide in the centre of the screen any ideas. Thanks

 

Hi and welcome to Computer Help Forums.
If your using Firefox Browser try this add on.

Hi thanks for that I have tried 3 different browsers google chrome, internet explorer and firefox but they are all the same

 

Hi Yes Every thing fills the screen except the internet pages

 

This problem could be a compatability issue.
See in IE whether the web page displays correctly running no "add ons"
Here is how.

Open Internet Explorer.


Tap or click the Tools button, and then tap or click Manage add-ons.


Under Show, tap or click All add-ons, and then do one of the following:


To disable an add-on, tap or click it, and then tap or click Disable.


To enable an add-on, tap or click it, and then tap or click Enable.


Tap or click Close

 

Hi thanks for the that I tried enable + disable still the same

 

Obviously the web pages are compressed. How long has this been happening?
Did it happen when you were playing around with settings?
I take it you can't grab the sides of the web page and drag full screen.

You could try setting everything back to default. Read first what's involved

Hi No I cant pull the sides out and I hav'nt played with the settings its a new desktop base the monitor is 5 months old and when I set it all up and went on the net the pages were compressed thanks

 

Hi. How was windows 8 installed eg; A copy of Windows8 you made an ISO yourself or did you actually buy an OS install disc from Microsoft?
I have done many installs and never encountered this problem.

 

Hi windows 8 was installed in the unit when I bought it I have also tried google chrome and fire fox
thanks

 

Hi.You say the computer is new.
Take it back and get them to fix the problem.
It will be under warranty unless it was a backyard build.

 

Thanks for that, that was going to be my next option if I couldn't find a easy fix. Thanks again for your help.
