Just wanted to say this thread is quite interesting all in all. Had no
idea IE is different in W8 versus W7. Is everyone starting to bundle
Flash in their browsers? Ugh!
If you cannot read Flash content in a browser window, you may be able to
un-maximize the window and manually elongate it in the direction you
need to stretch the content to a legible size.
You may also be able to RIGHT click and select 'show all'. This will
usually SHRINK the content, but may also permit you to scroll around
your viewport (depending on content and how they set it up)
As a last resort, you may also be able to increase your desktop
resolution without increasing your monitor resolution. This effectively
zooms the entire screen. When your mouse reaches the edge of the
monitor, the DESKTOP scrolls beneath it.
I have also been known to use 2 monitors in clone mode to achieve a
similar function- Monitor A is 800x600 Monitor B is 1600x1200. When B
is cloned to A, A becomes a x2 magnifier viewport of Monitor B. In this
use, Monitor A doesn't have to be physically larger than Monitor B- just
needs to use fewer pixels to have the magnification effect.
I currently use the built-in magnifier tool when necessary... The one
built-into W7 can zoom the entire screen (if you use Aero) and this
mimics on a single display the 2 monitor setup I described above.
I would definitely start by looking at what magnifier tools are included
in your OS. We should all be aware of the free tools bundled in our OS. :)

Anyhow, on IE 10, where Flash is built into IE, I went to the site
and scrolled down to the bottom. To magnify that bottom part, I
simply right clicked on the page and chose "Zoom in" on the menu. It
zoomed in nice and big and easy to read.
I have IE10 also and the rigth-click did not give me the "Zoom in" choice.
You have IE10 on Win7, Desirée has Win8. The Win7 and Win8 versions of
IE10 are actually different animals -- look how long it took for MS to
release the Win7 version as evidence of big differences.
IE10 for Win7 does not have Flash built in, for starters (and that is
probably the major reason why zooming behaves differently in Win8 --
it's not a plugin in Win8. I wonder if that will end up being a security
weakness...?).
