161354 2003-07-20 00:53:00 In Internet Explorer go to View > Text Size. Select whichever size suits you.

Are you talking about in IE or the desktop????

If it is IE:

Go to View > text size & restart IE

If it is the desktop:

Right click somewhere on the desktop & click on properties then click on the settings tab.

Hope this helps :)

If not you need to tell us what OS you have & /or what progume.

161359 2003-07-20 07:16:00 Ah ..... in that case your screen resolution might of been fiddled with.

Right click on a blank area of the destop and select Properties. Then click on the Settings tab. See what screen resolution is displayed. Typical resolutions are 800x600 (15" monitor) and 1024x768 (17" monitor) - either resolution can be used depending upon personal preferences though.

161360 2003-07-20 07:17:00 Right click on a blank area of the opening screen, once Windows has loaded.

Select Properties

Select Settings

Adjust the slider on Screen Resolution up to a higher figure (Probably its on 640 x 480)

Click Apply


(We are taking a complete guess here that you are running Windows, feel free to help out with any more info.....)

161361 2003-07-20 07:17:00 your answer helped with text, but every thing else stayed large.Top of page header,bott of page, icons etc tamtman (1920)
161362 2003-07-20 09:31:00 Try then right click desktop again > Properties > Appearance tab. Select Font size - normal. Then click on the Effect Button and remove tick (if any) beside "use large icons". For the task bar right click on a blank area and click "lock the taskbar" to remove the tick beside it. Then resize by dragging the task bar to the size required. Right click taskbar again and replace the tick beside "lock the taskbar".

Don't know why the top header has changed size though.

PS* If these instructions don't make sense that is probably because you are not using Windows XP ....
