Inspiron 17 7737 new user with questions on making screens readable
I just bought the Inspiron 17 7737 laptop. When I get into the ie browser, chrome or fire fox the text is very small. I have found I can pinch it on the touch screen but I want to know if there is a setting to make it large enough to read every time with out having to pinch it. If this can not be fixed I might have to send it back and I don't want to do that because I bought it to view Netflix and it is great for that. Thanks for your help.

I found the answer after fiddling with the laptop and the settings for my touchpad. Apparently it was very sensitive and it had the gestures turned on and I was touching something on the touchpad that would make the screen text small. It now works almost like my Windows 7 and VIsta machines. Windows 8 takes some getting used to.

Hello baxterpug,
A useful shortcut to change the text display size when browsing the internet is to hold ‘ctrl’ and either tap the ‘–‘ or ‘+’ keys to increase or decrease zoom.
Please see the following guide for more solutions.
