To change system fonts & font sizes - go to :

"Control Panel" "Display"

(or right-click on an empty area of the desktop and select "Properties")

In the "Display Properties" control panel, click on the "Appearance" tab
and change the lowest box marked "Font Size", to "Large" or "Extra Large".
You will see a "preview" of your changes in the pane above. Click [ok] to
save and exit.

Alternatively, in the "Display Properties" control panel, click on the
"Appearance" tab, then on the "Advanced" button to edit.

You will need to change the font-size in the following items ;

"Menu"
"Selected Items"
"Tool Tip"
"Message Box"

....to make font sizes in Windows appear the same throughout.

To change the System Sounds & Alerts, go to :

"Control Panel" "Sounds and Audio Devices"

....then click on the "Sounds" tab :- Select individual events in the lower
pane and change the sound that will be played for each by clicking on the
"drop-box" or by pressing the "Browse" button and browsing for one. After
you have finished, press on the [ok] button to save and exit the Sounds
control panel.

Have you tried turning System Restore off, and back on again?

To do this; go to :

"Control Panel" "System Properties" "System Restore" (tab)

...and checkmark the box named :

"Turn off System Restore on all drives"

...press the [ok] button to save your preferences and exit.

Then go back into : "System Properties" "System Restore" (tab)

and un-checkmark the same box to re-enable System Restore again.

Doing this will also erase all previous restore-points, but I think it
may
also cure System Restore from displaying the irregular text size...

Thanks, Tim. My restore is now working again. Might you
know where to go in XP sp3 media center edition to select
fonts and type sizes? My sounds/alerts got changed too, but
I think I remember how to select those.
