Wanted: location of one IE "feature"

chrisvenusI have found a bug or possibly a "feature" in IE that is causing problems. I suspect there may be some crappy IE setting somewhere causing it but I don't know what it is.
If I go to http://the.earth.li/~chris/IETest/test.html you can see three polar bears. In Firefox they are at the correct size. In IE they are shown 25% larger than they should be. This causes problems on some images which lose definition in this crude resizing.
The three images on the page are because I tried to set explicit sizes on the images. IE ignores them. Or more precisely adds 25% to them so I can get it to work for IE by explciitly telling it to be smaller.
Can people confirm whether they see this (easiest to tell by having IE and firefox open next to each other) and possibly even tell me why it is doing it? If it isn't doing it for you I'd be interested to know what your viewing with. I'm reasonably sure that it is an IE only thing and that its probably some accessiblity option or something crap like that that was turned on by default on this laptop. I'm stumped though and my google-fu has failed me.
Thanks for the help, guys (and dolls).
