My friends told me to hit +/- to zoom in or out to no avail. I only have a laptop mouse (onboard), so no wheel to work with. How do I adjust the new zoom? (which, btw, is really cool)

    Ive heard the number keys work if you have one that uses letters + a function button to represent the keypad.

    Also if you have a touchpad with the little bar on the side for scrolling pages, it zooms too

    Also, even if it doesn't show the scroll bar you can also try dragging your finger down the right? I think. The right side of the touch pad going up or down, acts as a scroll key. I've used it to zoom in and out before.

    If you have an Fn key to swap the usage keys, the number lock - and + keys can adjust the zoom.

    On a normal keyboard, those keys can change zoom if your don't have a scroll wheel.

    You can also use Windows on-screen keyboard.

    On XP Start > Accessories > Accessibility > On-screen keyboard

    and change settings that way too.

    I agree with the above!b:victory
    Access your touchpad software to switch on the scroll bar option.
    If the icon isn't displayed in the quick bar, by the clock, check in the control panel!
    Other than that the best way around it, is to just buy a small wheel mouse & use that.

    Press K to bring up hot keys menu and you can check what zoom is or set to something else.b:victory
