View Full Version : Help with font sizes

One of my friends came to me and asked how to increase the size of the text
displayed inside windows. While I was able to get him squared away I
inadvertently messed up my machine and I cannot figure out what I did or how
to get back from it. My machine is Windows XP Pro SP1 and IE 6 SP1.

Somehow I have changed the display settings in such a way that text is much
larger than I need or want it. The real place that this is most noticable
is in my Internet Exporer. All the text in the display panes is much larger
than it should be. I have gone into Internet Explorer and under
Tools\Internet Options\Genral Tab\Accesibity button\Formatting section and
put in a check next to Ignore font sizes which makes the basic window size
readable but it is still not like it used to be.

Is there a way to put all the Windows XP display settings back to the
default values. I have tried picking changing to Windows Classic and then
pack to Windows XP but nothing seems to fix what ever it is I did.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
