windows xp

I have three computers all using Windows XP. One of the
three has dialog boxes, text, etc. much smaller than the
others. The dialog boxes are half the size and for
example in Word, the text in the start-up task pane is
maybe a size 6 font. I have been unable to find how to
change the settings to increase the size. The settings I
locate in "Display" all appear to be the same in each
computer. These old eyes are having a hard time. Can
someone provide some help. Thanks.

Hi,

Within Internet Explorer, go to Tools/Internet Options. Then click on
Accessibility button (bottom right) and put the check back in the box that
reads: Ignore font styles specified on Web pages.

Hi,
You might want to check your settings he Right click on the desktop and
choose properties. In the display properties page, flip to the appearance
tab and check the font size in the drop-down menu. Usually it is kept at
Normal and maybe you may have changed it to Small at some point of time.
