I haven't been able to find anything to help what is going on with my PC when using Internet Explorer. Any site that I open up (including this pop up) is coming up at nearly microscopic size. All of the text of the site is extremly small. The site expands to the total width of my screen which is still just a 4:3 CRT monitor. I am having trouble reading what I am writing right now. It does not seem to do this using Firefox though. Is ths happening to anyone else? What can I do to go back to the normal (readable) size?
Hi, 1. Which version of Windows? (Including SP level- SP1, SP2 ,etc.) 2. Which version of Internet Explorer? 3. What's the setting at IE> View> Text size? 4. If using IE7 or IE8, what's the Zoom setting at the right side of the Status Bar? 5. What changes were made just before the problem cropped up? New security program? New Windows theme? New third-party theme? Updates for IE or another program? 6. Start Internet Explorer without add-ons from: Right-click the IE icon on the desktop. Choose Start without add-ons. or Programs> Accessories> System tools> Internet Explorer (no add-ons) If the problem goes away, you have an incompatible browser add-on installed.

Unfortunatly I do not know how to determine the version of Windows or the version of IE. I have looked at all the properties by right clicking on both. I cannot find the View> text size either. I don't seem to have a zoom setting any where. I did not add anything manually. It still looks the same even when I start IE with out add ons.

I just read the next post about small text & the CTRL + brings everything to the correct size again. I have not tried opening up a new window yet though.

OK. It was probably as simple as changing the text size. You must be running IE7 or IE8 and hitting the Alt key should have made the IE Menu Bar appear. that's where View> Text size is.
Glad you got it resolved.
