    Under IE7, I didn't have this issue, but some sites I visit (HP's support and resources pages, among others) show up in extra-tiny print and table, causing me to zoom to 400+% in order to just be readible. (Readable? Anyway...)

    Is this an IE8 issue? Or is this something I may have caused myself?

    You have tried Compatibility View?

    Oooh! New feature. I had not used that option before, and didn't know it existed. That did the trick. Thanks!

    Glad to hear the solution was that simple :) You can add sites to the compatability list, etc - see Page > Compatability view settings and MS update the list with others on Update given you check the right box.
