Most web sites are coded to be viewed at 800x600 screen resolution. Some sites are coded so that they recognize your screen res setting and will display an "alternate" version that looks better at the higher settings, most do not. Some, like msnbc.com, fill the "empty" space to the right with ads. Don Varnau has posted some IE Accessibility settings you can experiment with, but depending on how the web site is coded, they may or may not help. Another solution might be to get a third-party tool that quickly changes your screen resolution on the fly, like the old QuickRes program that used to be included in Windows, but not in XP.

Hello,
I do the majority of web surfing on my laptop. Most of the web pages don't
fill the entire screen. Some do fill the screen, i.e., Yahoo. When I do
"view/text size/largest", the Yahoo and MSN pages fill the screen. However,
this trick does not really noticabley affect other pages. For example,
CNN.com and TVguide.com, the page only fills a portion of the screen, and
most of the text is very small.
My screen resolution is set to 1280 by 1024. Any tips to making the
majority of web pages fill the screen, making the text easier to read,
pictures larger, etc?
.
