Video controls are small - How to resize?

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.

    It's an intel hd card. The only two updates I had were for a diagnostics tool, which I updated, and the simple pass protection, which I didn't update. I right clicked in the device manager and checked for updates, it searched online but didn't find any.

    Haven't gotten a reply to this in a while, is there just no fix to this at all?

    Speaking of which, where has it gone?  E.g. I can find it in Search Settings but it doesn't launch?

    Otherwise, my suggestion for small buttons is to use the Magnifier.  Win++.   Use the Lens mode to attach it to your Mouse pointer  Ctrl+Alt+L.   You can make it as small as possible if all you want to see is where your pointer is going.   E.g. it will be right in the center of the Magnifier.  Win-Esc turns it off.

    Good luck

    So you're saying there's no fix for this? Magnifier is nice but it's a pain in the butt to use and I don't think I'll be using it to click on a small button I can see. I guess this is just an issue of the HP Envy Sleekbook 14 which kind of sucks.

    My guess the fix for this is to get the Intel tool working again.  As I said I can see its icon only.  Nothing happens when I try to use it.  We could use ProcMon to try to learn more.  Some people think that we need to use the latest Intel driver package and somehow suppress the one that Microsoft makes us use.  Doing that might mean changing the boot options to say its OK to use unsigned drivers.  Caveat emptor on that idea.  In your case though you might have a similar alternative available from HP with more acceptable packaging.
