Browser screen resolution problem

Misterh · External Since: Oct 26, 2009 Posts: 1

My screen resolution is set to 1280x800 but when I start IE8 to check my mail
or general browsing the resolution appears to be of a lower level.
I use Yahoo to access my email and when I do it tells me my screen
resolution is to low to view my messages unless I switch to Classic.

This has only started happening today and was previously working fine.

Can anyone explain what has happened and give me a clue as to the best
method of correcting the problem?

From inside Internet Explorer...
Try:

View --> Zoom --> 100%
