    How are you moving your pointer? There are zoom functions built into the touch pad, but I think they require two or more fingers touching. If you have one finger just touching and the other moving it might be zooming due to that.

    Make a page bigger or smaller

    You can make the page you're looking at bigger or smaller, but keep other parts of your screen the same size. 

    • To make the page bigger: Press Ctrl and Plus Zoom in.
    • To make the page smaller: Press Ctrl and Minus Zoom out.
    • Reset zoom: Press Ctrl + 0.

    Make everything on your screen bigger or smaller

    You can make everything on your screen bigger or smaller, including your row of apps and tabs, by changing your screen resolution.  

    • To make your screen bigger, decrease resolution: Press Ctrl + Shift and Plus Zoom in.
    • To make your screen smaller, increase resolution: Press Ctrl + Shift and Minus Zoom out.
    • Reset resolution: Press Ctrl + Shift + 0.
