I don't use a PC very much--I use mac and linux boxes, but I bet generally, there is some sort of text setting in your I.E. preferences. I assume you are using internet explorer. btw, not to get way off topic but next time you shop for a computer, try a mac. I bet you never look back.
Thank you both for your help! It worked! im back to Normal Yayyy
Mac user here too! I agree, they're great... stable, virtually no crashes or viruses. I've got a PC as well, but use the Mac about 90% of the time. Powerbook G4 and iMac G5 (neither is Intel chip based), plus of course an iPod! ;)
As for the font size being too big on the PC, I agree, there's some setting under View > Text Size in Internet Explorer. If using Firefox, CTRL - or CTRL + will work to resize the fonts.
at home I use an old iMac G3, one of the CRT ones that's around 5 or 6 years old. It was a hand-me-down so I'm not complaining but since I have done nothing to upgrade the os from 10.2.8 it's slowly beginning to have limitations. but yeah, there's a lot to like such as being able to get into it with terminal line commands. I also have a 10 year old stand-alone PC that I run windows 98 on, only for a few dos programs I use, but I'm an end-user on it--I have no idea how to get into it with a terminal emulator (and don't really want to) so with the new windows versions I'm pretty ignorant.
open up internet explorer, click on "View" at the top, go to "Text Size" and click on whichever one you like (I have medium). Hope this helped.
