You should upgrade to IE9 or use google Chrome. You should be able to change your zoom level with an icon on the bottom right hand of the screen with IE8.

I tried chrome, but went back to firefox. I couldn't figure out how to use the features in chrome, like tabs and that sort of thing.

Firefox 4 is best right now, no contest. There is nothing Chrome has that Firefox doesnt but Firefox has more things than Crhome has.

And to OP CTRL 0 always zooms to normal so CNTRL + is zoom in and CNTRL - is zoom out.

Yep I have heard nothing but good stuff about Firefox 4. I am not IT smart but I have heard a few people say they dont like Chrome. IDK, I personally have Firefox but not the 4.0 version. Thinking of upgrading but right now I am satisfied with the version I have. IT people if I upgrade will I lose the stuff I have downloaded like Google earth and the special tool bar I now have. Its not like I couldnt re-download, I just dont want to take the time to re-do it all.

After you upgrade it should automatically check to see if all of your current addons are compatible with the new version. If not, I believe it checks for upgrades to the addon to make it compatible. So no, you shouldn't have to re-download everything.
