1.	Solve : Extremely large fonts in web pages?
Answer» Hello Forum. Not sure if this is the right forum but here goes. My friend has extremely large(huge) print (fonts)when going to web pages. So big that even a bank statement page won't fit on the monitor. The numbers are 20 times larger than normal. Yet when she logs on all of the desktop ICONS and off-line features appear to be normal size. Screen resolution is set to 1024x768 but it sometimes defaults to 800x600 by itself. ? DPI is set at 96(default). The magnifier is off. The monitor is listed as her default monitor. This all began when she came in and noticed the monitor picture was at a 90 degree angle. Don't laugh but she had to turn the monitor on its SIDE to read it. Is this a software PROBLEM or a hardware problem. She has Windows XP, IE 7 Intel Pentium 4 processor. Verizon DSL. System Restore did not correct the problem. . This COMPUTER is mostly used for business purposes. Invoicing etc. Any help would be appreciated. have u ever try to reduce the text size? usually its in view,text size..give a try..Could it be the video card that is burning out or is dirty? try cleaning itMaybe it's a problem with the graphics card driver. Do you know what type of graphics card her computer has?Thanks for replies. View was set to smallest! No effect except off-line work. Not sure I know enough about graphics cards and drivers to help her with that. I hoped System Restore would work . No Luck. Spyware? I used AdAware. Didn't find anything but MRUs. Nothing critical. Using AVG Virus protection. All tests show no threats. She did get an AOL notice of corrupt files. Could AOL corrupt files influence font sizes when she uses Verizon DSL?. These fonts are humungous. Set magnifier on 9x . That's what they look like. I am staying with my horse and buggy NetZero dialup. It is slow but at least I get there. Any other insights would be appreciated. Thanks again.Try holding Ctrl and using the scroller on the mouse to zoom out ? Does this problem affect Office documents such as word or XL ASWELL or just web documents?Quote from: Spero-T on September 07, 2007, 04:16:23 AM Try holding Ctrl and using the scroller on the mouse to zoom out ? this is the best optionIs Microsoft Magnifier enabled?Thanks all for feedback. Magnifier is off. Control+Mouse scroll only adjusts within 'View' parameters. These fonts are humongous. But only in web pages. I think AOL may be the culprit. Going to try and reload AOL(not for me !) I would delete and use Verizon ISP. But it's not my computer. Again, thanks for feedback.Once you are connected to the internet, it isn't necessary to use AOL, just use IE. EDIT: or firefox
