Video controls are small - How to resize?

Anonymous

I just got a new computer and every video I've watched the video controls (play button, video timeline, expand, etc) are all very small, on every website and on different video players. The video player size is fine, just not the controls. I've tried changing the resolution, it just changes the screen size, doesn't work. IE video controls seem to ok, but Firefox is where the issue is.

Laptop is a HP Envy 14 sleekbook.

    Thanks for replying.

    Problem has started since I bought and started this computer. Other than making a new task which goes to the desktop instead of the start menu on startup and login, changing the login from a microsoft account to a local account, and installing Firefox, norton, and vlc media player, no I haven't made any specific changes that would cause this. Don't have any toolbar or third party registry cleaners, just norton, but the problem was before I installed norton and norton hasn't caused any further problems since installation. Hope you can see what it actually looks like size wise as screenshots might not do the actual size justice, try comparing your programs to these.

    Actually, it's regular programs too, forgot them I guess, like bing desktop, it's definitely smaller than on my old laptop, and media programs like vlc player, windows media player controls are all very small. So I think it is now a windows issue as it's affecting  programs and windows programs.
