Font Size In Form Boxes/fields
Jun 9, 2008
I just upgraded to a new computer with Vista , IE 7 etc..and I ran across a small problem..and I can't seem to find anything in the "Help" on IE or Vista , so I was wondering if an expert could give me some insight to a solution... ** How do I fix the font size in "boxes" on web pages..
for example the 2 boxes on Google page ..."Google Search" .. "I'm Feeling Lucky" and other small "boxes", like the boxes when you fill in a form online...also...the box where you enter text in the search area When I first started to use IE7 it was fine..then somewhere along the line the size went really small..

I edited the registry and either modified or deleted a line
regarding font size.
Since then all my html messages use size 12 in Windows Mail, Live Mail, or
Yahoo Mail.
I can specify the use of a different size, but as soon as I type anything,
the size reverts to 12.
I can change any other attribute such as face, bold, etc. and they all
work.
I would like to reinstall Windows Mail but I understand that's not possible
as it's inseparable from Vista.
I've run sfc /scannow and there are no problems.
The only solution that seems possible it to fix or replace that registry
line I screwed up.

Incoming email is difficult to read because of age and font size. Have checked out ideas on Goggle and Windows "Help and Support". Either I'm too thick or the suggestions are no longer applicable. I'm using Vista, IE 8 and Windows mail.

is there's an equivalent to XP's Display Font Size in Vista? In XP Display Properties, Appearance tab we can change Font size to Large or Extra Large. This is useful for people who want high resolution desktops but find it hard to read small text (without sitting really close which is bad for eyes). I know there's a DPI setting in Vista just as there is in XP, but it's not the same as Font size.

Is there anyway to permanently change the font size to a larger print in Windows Vista. I have tried suggestions from IE going to options and then "general", but there is no place to change the size of the font.... One of the reasons I don't use the new e-mail set up is because the print is too small and everything is bunched together. They weren't thinking of senior citizens when they designed that!

Last week I purchased my 1st laptop and thus entered the world of Vista after running Win XP home since it 1st came out. I'm a senior at 62, and my eyesight isn't the best anymore. I tried 1024x600 for larger font size but didn't like how graphics and Icons looked, so I went back to the default of 1288x600. My problem is the the font size including emails is just too small, so I'm forced to continually use Control + to increase it. Is there a way to change the font size so I don't have to do this. I'm running Firefox 3.07 and the latest version of Thunderbird. My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite L305D-S5934

I finally found a fix for the above problem and you two surely deserve to know what it is. Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software > Microsoft > Internet Explorer > Settings > I modified Always Use My Font Size from (1) to (0). Initially, I was doing my searching using the entire computer and it literally took hours. Since I knew that searching KEY_CURRENT_USERS was a waste of time (you had already suggested deleting Windows Mail), I only searched for key words using LOCAL MACHINE. This allowed me to shorten search times to a reasonalbe amount.

how to permanently set a default font size in Windows Mail? My Windows Mail default font is 10 but I would prefer it to be 12. However there does not seem to be an option to change it to 12 automatically, instead of remembering to reset it before starting to type an email.

I need to switch often the Windows Vista font size, thus being forced to reboot everytime. Is there a particular reason why Microsoft planned to reboot on changed font size? Is there a way to avoid reboot on changed font size?

There are websites that i visit that dont work right and i dont know if it is Vista or just my computer. I just got this computer, it is brand new. My old computer had XP. There is a site called BabyCenter.com. When i comment in the forums, it wont let me change my font size, color or anything. I could do all of that on XP. And when i go to game websites like playtopia.com, the game will load, but it wont show up. Is this Vista doing this, and if so how can i fix it??

I have Windows Mail thru Vista and have tried to change my font size and color on outgoing e-mails to somthing different than the default but everytime I go in to compose an e-mail it keeps going to the default font size and color. I went to TOOLS - OPTIONS - SEND and COMPOSE and have changed them there but that doesn't seem to work.

I am trying to find the font folder, so that I can copy a font onto a disk to put onto my laptop. In other versions of Windows its C:windowsfonts, which it appears to be in Vista, but once in C:Windows I cannot find the fonts folder. If I go through the control panel to the fonts folder it will not let me copy the front from there. It will let me right click the font to copy, but not let me paste onto a memory stick. I have already got into Folder options and made sure that Hidden files are visible.

Out of sheer stupidity and over-excitement upon installing my new Vista Ultimate back in June last year, when I starting installing the widows Updates, I chose several non-essential updates ... most of which were language packs. I now have Dutch, Finnish, Hebrew, Hungarian, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian,Slovenian, Swedish, and Thai....all of which I now need to get rid of. I'm experiencing some system errors that suggest they're related to one or more of these language packs. Regardless, I don't need them and want to eliminate them. HOWEVER, when I attempt to remove them through the lpksetup.exe process (or same with Control Panel>>Regional and Language Options>>keyboards__ and Languages >>Install/Uninstall languages ), it goes through the process (creating restore point, removing language
packs, etc.) and after several minutes, gives me a window which states, "All selected language files failed to be removed". Then, it shows a list with all of the languages I selected which is titled "Failed removals:".

This may have been covered somewhere, but I couldn't figure what to search on. This is happening on two different Vista machines. If I open "My Documents", details view, the folders are listed "normally" showing date modified, size, etc. But, if I open a sub-folder, the contents are displayed as pictures, Name, Date Taken, Tag, etc. Then, if I open another sub-folder, the contents are listed as music with fields, name, artist, album, etc.
IF, I navigate to the folders under My Computer, they display normally and all is good. I have TONS of documents, so I have them sorted by year. 2004, 2005, 2006, yadda, yadda, yadda. Then by topic or whatever underneath. I typically list them by date so that my most recent files are grouped together, but now listing by date isn't an option and it's tough to find anything. I've tried My Documents, Properties, Customize, Template, Documents, Apply to sub-folders. Did no good.

My cursor (not the mouse cursor) won't stay in one place. It jumps from field to field in just about every program I use, going from left to right, just like I'm pushing down the tab button on the keyboard. I'm on a desktop and not a laptop. It makes it very hard to type or to chose options in pop up windows. It makes the scroll bars move all by themselves too. I tried updating my keyboard driver without any improvement.

I _FOR_SURE_ ordered this printer and from what I am understanding the driver is built in my windows Vista system. Does this mean when it gets here I should just be able to plug it in and it will be picked up or? I also run a HP Photosmart C6280 on my main desktop computer....can both printers be hooked up or could I hook up the dot matrix to my lap top (which also has vista)

My monitor is set at 1152 X 720 pixels. The default is 1440 x 900, but that makes everything so super tiny that I can't see text too well. Text size is set at default or standard. The Windows dialog boxes are all cut off so that at least one third of them cannot be seen. From using old Windows OS systems in the past, I can guess at what is unseen and just use the tab key to select "Ok, Cancel, and Apply".
But some boxes, for example, the "Sound Theme" dialog box has a whole section below of selecting sounds for events and I cannot see any of it.
Here's the clincher. Just to adjust my sound theme, I set my monitor to the microscopic 1440 x 900 setting and still cannot see the dialog boxes. The text size set on default.
What settings are these boxes viewable?
I should point out that my Sister and a couple of friends have
the exact same problem.

Well im very new to windows mail, in fact only a few hours, and trying to set up the email has proven to be a real headache.On outlook express, my husband and i had seperate email accounts, we logged in to them seperate and for some reason i dont appear to be able to do this with windows mail.I put all our info in as you do when adding an account and did this twice one with my details and one with my husbands (pop3, smtp email address etc) when i opened up windows mail, all the mail was going in to one box and not serperate. I changed it so we had to enter the password each time to login thinking this might open it up as serperate, no. how i get round this, i know there must be a way, but im getting so frustrated with it now, i cant see what im looking at, ive been trying for so long.

I run Vista Business 64-bit ("clean" install a week ago) and am having troubles with some of the built-in games..... I can't click on buttons in dialog-boxes within these games. I can dismiss the dialog by clicking the X, but not when it's asking if I want to save the game. In this case i need to use the keyboard to focus and click on a button. * Menu flickers rapidly. When clicking on one menu, all menus shows and flicker. I see mouse hovering effects on the wrong spots. I.e. the card next to the one I have my cursor over.
In minesweeper I can't click on any of the buttons in the first column. All other buttons work just fine. I see the "button down-effect" but nothing happens. What is the common denominator of the mentioned games and how can I fix it? My drivers are up-to-date and I have not experienced any other kinds of input/graphics issues with any other apps/games.

Have you recently installed a system utility or a productivity application such as Adobe Photoshop or Macromedia Dreamweaver and have been bombarded with registration messages that pop-up every time your start the application? Even when you check the box and tell the application never to remind you ever again?
This happens to me all the time and is very annoying. The culprit of this problem is... you guessed it, UAC!
Your application keeps asking you to register because the registry key that it checks to see if you should still be harassed into registration is never getting set thanks to UAC. When I check the box or hit the Never remind me again button the registry write gets virtualized because the app tried to write to a part of the registry a standard user does not have access to. This is a feature of UAC and it does a great job of redirecting the registry write so the application does not crash out. However, since the application is not aware of this virtualized write location it keeps checking the registry value of the key in the normal location. Since the application has read only access to that location the key will keep getting virtualized every time you check the box and is why the registration boxes keep popping up.
How do you get out of this mess? Real simple, just run the application as an Administrator ....
