Default Large Fonts, Internet Pages and Mostly everything...

Please help!
This all changed a few days ago, i know not how or why but it appears that
everythin has gone larger making it difficult to view webpages as having to
always scroll side to side as full page won't fit on.

What happens when you change the text size with IE-View-Text Size?

What happened a few days ago that may have changed things?
Installing XP SP3 perhaps?

If you think it is an IE problem....
What version of IE are you using?
If IE6, please post to:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...er.ie6.browser
IF IE7:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...plorer.general

If you repost to an IE group, please supply an example URL where you
see this problem.

Wendi - this happened to me one day this week as well -- I changed the screen
resolution (NVIDIA settings) and fixed that but don't know why it happened.


Another odd thing that has happened around this same time is booting up and
having no cursor on the display -- restarting usually produces it.

I have an AMD64 run home XPSP3, IE7, Trend Micro 2007, Spywareblaster, and
Adaware. Also having trouble since SP3 to play videos on utube (posted on
Help and Support 5/18).
