    Default **Computer Question Please!**

    I have noticed yesterday when I log on the sites I frequent all the fonts and thread titles, everything is sooooooooooo tiny! I need to wear my glasses, and that simply does not work for me!

    Not just here, everywhere! Only on the sites, not on IE ~ the tool bars are all the same size!

    Does any one know a way to increase the overall font size? Or why this even happened? Seemed to have happened after I added automatic updates from Windows....

    On IE you may try clicking on the "View" tab and then going down to "Text Size" and selecting the apropriate one for you.

    On IE, go to tools, internet options, then under the general tab go to the accessibility button on the bottom and check ignore font size specified on web page. You can increase font size on the page by holding control down and pressing the + or - button to increase or decrease size. If all else fails do an IE reset to defaults under tools, advanced tab, and then press the reset buttons. It will put you back to the factory defaults.

    somehow i misread that.....i was gonna suggest the cntl +/- option as well.

    when i right click on my desktop, i have an option that says "Display Modes", then i can quickly change between desktop size/setting modes. The Display Modes menu may depend on the video driver, and i forgot how i saved the different modes - let me know if you have that menu.
