IE Problem

About three weeks ago, after downloading the beta version of a program that has a built-in browser based on Explorer, I became aware that Explorer could not render certain pages properly. For example, MyYahoo, Environment Canada's local weather page, and others appear to be about five times larger than normal. As a result, the pages are grotesque.
The software developer is working under times constraints, and so has not been able to advise me whether his beta program in fact is responsible for the problem in IE. Unfortunately, until such time as the problem is solved, the various pieces of software that I use that utilize IE have become quite limited in their usefulness. These would include ADM 4 beta, UltraRecall, Evernote, and Surfolater.
Can anyone suggest what I might do to remedy this problem?

Manny thanks.

Daly,
do you know the "ToolbarCop"?
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/toolbarcop.htm
It can can disable or eliminate various additions and changes to IE settings. Perhaps this helps.

PS. I would be very interested in following this thread. If you think it is not the proper place, maybe we could move it to Power Tools list, for instance.

Have you checked View|Text Size? Have you uninstalled the beta app.
I would urge people not to install Beta apps on their work PC's. I'd extend this to any apps that you just want to have a play with. Instead I highly recommend using VMWare or the equivalent MS product and always use a Virtual Machine for playing around.
And Daly it is Surfulater, not Surfolater. :)
