IE7, webpages won't fit in a window?

When running IE8 many webpages open too wide for the window and they
have to show a scroll bar at the bottom.

I've switched back and forth from IE8 to IE7 to Firefox and only IE8
shows this behavior.

The worst offender is the forums at Crackberry:

Any ideas would be much appreciated, thanks.

Always state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; Vista 64-bit SP2)
when posting in a forum or newsgroup. Please do so in your next reply.

Is it a netbook/mini computer? What's your Zoom setting default in IE8?

It's Vista Ultimate 64 bit, I don't know it that would make a
difference, the problem seems related to IE only.

Desktop.

No idea, can't check as I'm back to IE7 but thanks for the idea, that's
worth a look when/if I try IE8 again.

Either that or you're resolution (display) setting's out-of-whack.

The setting is the same with either IE7 or IE8 or Firefox.

I'll re-install IE8 and check on the zoom settings, I never thought to
look there before.

More confusion, I re-installed IE8 and the problem is now gone.

The zoom settings are: None checked.
