Gransnet has shrunk

Check the zoom setting on you browser, it's probably set to less than 100%

Or press Ctrl + 0 (that's zero) this will restore it to 100%

Wobbly you're brilliant! CTRL 0 fixed it. Thank you so much

I'd send you a but you can't drink with all your painkillers so it'll have to be a instead. Hope the physio was helpful yesterday for you both

I can drink virtual

On your browser there will be a zoom option or you can use Ctrl + or Crtl - to change the zoom level, Ctrl 0 sets it back to 100%. The zoom can be handy if you want to see more detail or want to see the whole document.

You're obviously our resident computer expert, Wobblybits!

Can you tell me how to cancel InPrivate Browsing which has somehow installed itsef somehow?

PS I've read all the online helpline stuff but nothing's worked so far...

Thanks Wobbly I have enlarged my screen too and didn't even realise that it was so small until I read thread on here!

Ana, what windows version are you using and which browser.

Windows 7 (yes, still!) and IE 11

And, why do you want to remove "In Private browsing" ?

Because the Google drop-down search history which I found very useful doesn't work any more, and I no longer get suggestions for my searches.

Googling the problem came up with InPrivate Browsing as being the cause - never heard of it before!

OK, other browsers call it incognito browsing. Give me a while and I'll find an answer for you.

Ok should be simple (but I can't easily test it as I don't have IE11 on this laptop.

Simply click on the gear icon located at the top right of the window. Then click on Safety and then click on InPrivate Browsing and de-activate it.

I've tried that, Wobbly. When I click on the gar and go to safety and inprivate browsing a window comes up telling me that inprivate prowsing is 'On'. It says that to cancel it, just close this browser window. Which does not work!

PS Your link advises on how to install inprivate browsing, but doesn't tell you how to get rid of it!

If there is not an option to disable it (as I said, I cannot test it) how do you start IE11, is it via a shortcut ?. if it is, try opening it from the programs menu and let me know if you still have the same problem.

I don't start it, it's just...there! Sorry, I'm not tech-savvy at all.

OK, that makes sense, it must be started by the startup file.
Close IE11, then start it again from the programms menu. Let me know if you still have the problem - do not use any shortcuts

I don't know what you mean by 'close IE11'. I just shut down my computer at night and turn it on the next day - I don't do anything with IE11. How do I close it?

OK, this could be the problem, I think that if In Private browsing has been set on, it stays on until a new version of IE is started. When did this start and who uses your computer ?

About a fortnight ago and no one uses it except me!

Phew. that's good as the usual reason for setting private browsing is to hide your activity. When you have IE11 open there should be a X in the very top right hand corner, click that and it should close.
Got to the programs menu and find IE11 there and start it again. Do not use any desktop icon that may exist for IE11.
