[yet another] Computer Problem

Post by Axtech »

Okay, so here's my latest problem...

I come down to the computer this morning, and get on olp.cc. And the font size is all screwed up. This has happened to me before, but I forget how (or if) I got rid of it. I don't know why, but the fonts on OLP.cc, villagephotps and google.ca (just to name a few) are bigger than they should be. And on OLP.cc, it completely screws up the allignment.

Does anyone know what happened, or what I can do? :(

There's (part of a) a screenshot of OLP.cc attached. [damn size limits, had to crop it all to hell]

Every now and then I fall out into open air just to feel the wind, rain and everything.
And though the hum and sway gets me down
, I'll find the way to peace and openness.

In IE you can click View > Text Size > [size]
Medium should be the default size.

Or, right click on the desktop, click Properties, and click the appearence tab. The lower left should have a drop-down box for font size. It varies with which ever window scheme you're using.

Depending upon your brand of monitor, you can click the Settings tab and in the lower-right there may be an option to view in large or small fonts.

It's official. You are my new hero!

I think it's because I installed one of those automatic updates last night.

But it's fixed now! Thank you! :love:
