Fix site display problems
Sometimes a website you’re visiting doesn’t look like you expect it to. Images might not show up, menus might be out of place, and text boxes could be jumbled together. This can be caused by a compatibility problem between Internet Explorer and the site you’re on. When a site is incompatible with Internet Explorer, you’ll see the Compatibility View button in the Address bar. You can only turn on Compatibility View in Internet Explorer for the desktop.
