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 the reply, but I don't get how creating a new user account will change the video control size, and can I not use a local account? I don't want a microsoft account sign in, just a local account. I had this problem in both a microsoft account and a local account before. Plus w/ creating a new user account and deleting this one I'm going to have to re-install my programs which is going to be a pain. I'll create a new user account but I won't delete this one.

    So I created a new account like you said, but problem was still there in that user account.

    Hi,

    Thank you for keeping us updated and apologies for late response.

    • What is the make and model of the computer?

    Try updating the display drivers from the manufacturer's website and check if the issue still persists.

    To uninstall display driver:

    Right click Start button > click Device Manager > expand Display Adapters > right click display driver which has been installed > click Uninstall.

    Update/install the latest display driver from the computer manufacturer's website.

    Also refer to: **Troubleshoot video card problems** (holds good for Windows 8.1 also)

    Hope this works. Please do let us know the result, we’ll be glad to assist you.

    Thank you.

    I have a hp envy 14 touchsmart ultrabook. I checked for driver updates on the hp website, showed that none of my drivers needed to be updated. Followed the article, graphics card status is working properly, and drivers are up to date.

    Hi,

    Thank you for the update.

    Let's try the following and check.

    Right click Start button > Control Panel > top right corner View By: Small Icons > Display > click to check Let me choose one scaling level for all my displays > then click Custom Sizing Options > make changes one by one and check if any of the option work as per you.

    Hope this works. Let us know.

    Thank you.
