Sounds like her resolution's set too low... Here's a link on how to change it to a higher setting:

What pepsi said. I just learned about the Control/+ or - bit a few months ago. (Never too old to learn.)

If she has a scroll on her mouse she can hit "CTRL" and make the page larger or smaller (same as CTRL +/- ) She probably accidently did that in the first place (I do it all the time by accident) if she didn't reset her resolution on purpose.

That's one of the new undocumented features of Vista.

Thanks for the help everyone (sorry about repeating myself). She couldn't get it to work so she spoke with the person who set it up and he said it was a vista problem and is picking it up for repair.
I really appreciate all the suggestions.

I was just teasing you. I've done the same thing before - I'm pretty sure everyone has.
