I had the same problem when viewing a web page (that I had developed), on the Internet, even though it fitted my screen in Internet Explorer in development in my PC. After trying many of the solutions offered above - unsuccessfully, I noticed, by chance, that there is a zoom button in the bottom right of my screen. It had been set to 120%. Resetting to to 100% fixed the problem.

I am also having the screen picture too big
but only on Netscape..Safari..Internet Explorer
are fine..but I use Netscape a lot and
it really bothers me when I can't see
the images on my screen background. I
tried that alt/spacebar but nothing happened.

Happened to me twice. One time I just changed resolution, and moved window. The other time, I just went into video control panel and changed the center of the screen. (french benefits of a $500.00 video card - even tho it's seven years old)

I have the same problem and when I pressed alt plus the spacebar the window popped up, but the size option was not available to me. What else can I do?
