    new Dell screen gets bigger.
    « on: September 16, 2009, 11:52:16 AM »
    Sometimes when I move the mouse on my laptop the screen gets bigger almost as though I held ctrl-shift-+ keys  if I hit ctrl- it returns to smaller size. It almost seems as though there are sticky keys being hit. It is driving me crazy, not a long trip. Does anyone else experience this or know of a fix?
    thanks

      Have you gone into Control Panel/Accessibility & checked to see if Sticky Keys is unchecked?

        OK nothing there but i did find something in the mouse set up it looks like it only is on the Dell machines there is an area on the left of the screen that when the mouse passes over it will shrink or grow the screen.  I unchecked it and all seems well thanks for pointing me in right direction
