image autoresizing in IE

[SlowRoasted]

Ok im really getting annoyed by images autoresizing to fit the screen in internet explorer. Then i have to put my mouse over the image and wait for that button to show up so i can view the actual size of the image. Anyone know how to disable this? Im guessing its in internet options. thanks for the help.

That's an awesome question .... I've been wondering this myself. Somebody must know.

 

[SlowRoasted]

yeah hehe, but not getting a response, where the computer gurus at?

I'm definitely not a computer guru, but here's where I found it.

In IE 6, try Tools/Internet Options, the Advanced tab, about 2/3 of the way down under Multimedia, the second option: Enable Automatic Image Resizing. Uncheck the box to the left of it. IE is the only browser I use and am familiar with; not sure where the option is for other web browsers.

Why would you want Autoresizing turned off....then you would actually have to like scroll to actually see the sucker....hmmmm

 

[SlowRoasted]

cus its really annoying to have pics sized down and look ugly, then you have to take your mouse off the picture and put it back on and hold for that stupid little box to pop up, then you click it and finally see the real image.

Most images I see that are scaled down look good...or sometimes better.....and there is a way around that.....I will tinker around at my house and let you know what it is.

when it crushes down a larger picture, the edges get all jaggedy and it looks lousy. Like SlowRoasted said ... it is annoying having to move the cursor off and then wait for the box to show up and then make the picture bigger.

Sometimes it's like the pic is so clear and well defined that when it auto resizes it makes the nice sharp edges even crisper. I think it also depends on what one has for a monitor and graphics card, too. My pathetic lil 8 meg video card and (dare I even admit this?!) eMachines 17 inch monitor can't seem to do justice to some pics when they've been resized. It's hard to explain, but the clarity of some pics become TOO sharp when they get auto resized.

8 mb vid card....your living in the dinosaur ages....

I'm not, but my computer is definitely an antique by today's standards. The ironic thing is I just purchased an older video card (MSI nVidia GeForce 2 MX-400, 32Meg) to go with my even older motherboard (Tyan Trinity AT 100, the S1590 model) which has the VIA Apollo MVP3 chipset - and the new video card and the MVP3 chipset don't play well together at all. In fact, they're in opposite corners of the room right now, taking time-outs for bad behavior. The really sad part? I just recited all that technical stuff off the top of my head.

I'm a prime example of why folks purchase from Dell and other places: when one builds and upgrades their computer piece by piece, one should take the time to thoroughly investigate compatibility BEFORE making an upgrade purchase like I did.

 

[SlowRoasted]

yeah i dont deal with that stuff either. would rather buy a comp already put together.

My next computer will be put together by my own two hands...and a friends as well...they are much better in my honest opinion...of course I am a gamer..

 

[SlowRoasted]

yeah i wouldnt mind building my own someday, it sure does force you to learn about compatibility issues and just hardware in general. I would like to build one of those cool water cooled systems where i can overclock the c rap out of it hehe, then get the green LEDS in the tubes so it looks like you got green gew flowing through your comp.

I agree with you. When I upgrade my lil dinosaur I'll do it by getting the things I want, and before ordering components I'll check for compatibility.

Thank you...I just used an action to do it actually....I have a new one...but I have to wait till I get the internet at my house to put it on actually...I can't do an FTP here...
