In the internet explorer, or chrome, any browser, everything inside the browser will either shrink or get HUGE! I have tried to figure out how this happens, but of course when I try to make it happen, it doesn't. It does it when I DONT want it to! Its very much a pain in the ass.. Does anyone know how to stop this or change this when this happens or WHY this is happening? Thanks! Oh wow, "I Like Men " you are completely right..now I guess I have to be careful when I am scrolling not to bump it a certain way, I guess it thinks I have two hands but I dont, its just the way my hands moving around the mouse track pad. Thanks.

On touchpads when you first press make sure you do not tap, tapping is like clicking, this is what happens to me anyways.

Haha, my grandmother has an Asus Eee pc, and this happened to her. The mouse is multitouch, and when two fingers are on it, it can cause things like this to happen. Basically, like on an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad for that matter; when you have two fingers on it, and pull them apart, it makes it zoom in. And when you push them together, you zoom out.

Increase/ decrease font sizes can be achieved in most browsers by holding down the CTRL key and using the mouse wheel. You're probably hitting the CTRL key (bottom left) by accident
