Had a program freeze when trying to close so had to alt-cnt-del out and when I went back to IE5, the fonts are almost twice the previous size! Mail & normal programs are fine but when viewing like in this forum the size of the type is too big. How do I change it back. Cant find anything in options or view.:confused:

If you cant change more than text size then go to internet properties (found under tools) and under the general tab, You will see at the bottom, colors, fonts, accessability, etc.. give those a shot. And also under accessability see what it checked off in there and experiment around with that

This is assuming all you see are increased font sizes in IE.... if your desktop resolution has changed somehow you will have to fix that in display properties

It's weird, the desktop resolution is the same, only the font & size in IE has changed. It's bold and twice the previous size. Only seems to be in forums or nonspecified font sites. I'm running w98se. I think you helped me out once before and I appreciate it again.

hold down the control button and scroll with the wheel on your mouse. The font size will change
