Default Mac lappy screen being weird

Since upgrading to Tiger and doing the software updates from the web, the screen has been playing up.

On boot up now its looking like it has zoomed in to about 2 or 3 times what it should be. I've checked all the screen res and their all set to what they should be. Its not a problem cos with the external mouse 2 clicks and all is restored (hold down the scroll wheel and rotate backwards), but ideal whats the fix so it boots to normal size?

I had that ever since I got a Microsoft mouse with a zoom button on it.

I think you can disable it by turning off zoom under Universal Access in System Preferences.

Funnily enough I to have a microsh1te mouse with zoom buttons, but its only done it since going to tiger.

I found Zoom and turned it off, its not a function I use anyway as its a graphics machine and I can zoom in in CS anyway.

Another vote of USBOverdrive. Fantastic little app. A real pity Apple does not include such functionality in the OS. The remaping of mouse buttons is somewhat lacking to say the least.
