Does anyone know how i can set internet explorer so that every time i run it the text size is default "larger"? it always comes up medium on my laptop, and that's too small. i always go to "view", "text size" and change it to "larger", but the next time i boot up, it defaults back to "medium". I want it to always stay on "larger".
IE started acting funny in that it started displaying text very small. For example, on this very site's homepage, under Tom's pic in the welcome section, the text is very small. It used to be very clear and readable, but now its a real strain on the eyes. Its happening on all pages, not just this one.
Why is it when I open a web site in windows XP sp2, the opened window is too small. Of couse I can expaned it or max it bu twhen I go to another site, the same thing happens.Is there a setting somewhere that enables windows to open web site at max,automatically.
On an irregular basis, in both Internet Explorer and Google Chrome, text is suddenly selected that I don't want selected, sometimes covering the entire web page. I can close and reopen the browser and the behavior stops, sometimes for days, sometimes only for hours.
Just a few days ago when I browse the internet, the text of the websites I visit has become smaller than usual. Small to the point of having a hard time reading them. I have not changed any settings nor has anyone else used it between the time it was normal and when it starting doing this.
Some time ago, I must have inadvertently "pushed a button" and the page size for Internet Explorer changed from "normal" to "magnified". I can't figure out how to change it back. Going into control panel and changing the screen resolution size has absolutely no effect. (I never re-adjusted the screen size anyway). It's so annoying to have to constantly work the page bars up and down, back and forth! I think the same thing has happened to AOL.
I was in a program that ran a 1280X1024 4XAaliasing 32 bit color and I was also watching a movie from netflix in the background(talk about multitasking). My normal desktop settings are 1024X768 16 bit color. I switched to view a nice scene in the movie to the movie and then switched back to the program. Problem was when I switched to the program the computer sort of pinged 3 times quickly and then reset.Now in various odd places instead of text I see odd shapes like empty white or black squares, circles, lines or triangles/arrows. It's sort of like wingdings characthers or like characthers that the computer doesn't recognize. Immediately after the restart I switched the DPI in display setting from like 95-96 to 120DPI.
When i open programs such as google, netflix, local library and most all pages they do not fill the entire screen. I always have to click on the maximize button. How do i remedy this issue? Running XP Pro... Athlon Xp 2600 2.08 Ghz with 512 Ram.
I had right clicked on the taskbar, then clicked on cascade windows.Now I can not get my internet explorer window to go back to regular size when I click on the internet explorer E (not sortcut) on my desktop (I have to manually resize it).I want to be able to click on it & have it open to max size How can I get it back to normal?
I noticed that certain features of my PC would suffer from very small fonts to the point of being unreadable.I don't know what caused this. An example of the issue is when I go to Administrative Tools/Services, when I highlight a service in the list,the corresponding Service description shows with very small fonts Other areas of Windows also suffer from this
I turned it on and loaded up Simply Accounting.I noticed that the program window fonts were too small.I thought this had to be a simply accounting problem as i didn’t notice anything odd with my other Windows font in windows explorer.After doing some exploring i found that it was not only Simply Accounting, but other windows programs were affected as well.I looked in the typical windows appearance settings and saw that all was untouched.
I have my text size set at Largest in the view menu on IE6, lately it isn't working and I am really having some serious problems I had a cornea transplant last Jan and I have not gotten new contacts yet, ( my Doc told me I am good to go for using the puter, in case anyone's concern) I HATE HATE ATE the magnifier, its very disorienting, so what could possibly be causing this, my spyware sanners turn up nothing Norton turns up nothing, I went t0o a sight for ASAP or some thing for "professionals" thru a link on the board, and I got an X-Clean thing, I figured it was safe cause another member had it as a link, was I hijacked someplace else. Could this be the problem?
Anybody know how to permanently set the Zoom function for every Explorer page you open to different than the set 100%.The reason is I have just purchased a new 20" widescreen and it seems the only method of obtaining larger screen inages using the recommended resolution.Everything is so small! Each page I open I have to keep manually altering the zoom function and when working on quite a few pages at a time its getting tedious!
I have a new computer! (yippee!) which has Windows XP on it! I cannot see the size of the text (too small) in either XP or the web (on the screen) can anyone please tell me how I can make it appear bigger?
I have just bought a new acer 17 inch monitor and i am having trouble with the text size and it being blurred any1 with ides how 2 fix the problem so i can have better veiwing?
I can change the font size of everything except the window text (see screenshot), i.e. the size of 'themes', 'desktop', 'windows and buttons', etc.Under Advanced, there seems to be no option to change the font size of window text. Is there a way to do this?
I am using Windows XP and for about 2 months (I guess) certain websites look funny. As an exmple, the background for Yahoo is white even though I have tried to change it to a theme that yahoo offers. The text size also is too big and all over the place- looks weird. I have tried everything I can think of but i am a novice and am wondering if there is some simple answer here or something else I can try? Is it XP or a problem with my browser? MSN also has only a white background with big letters that look awkward. If I try to change the background to blue, it won't do it. It's driving me nuts!
How do I set the text size to default to 12 when Wordpad is opened? t defaults to 10 & that's too small to comfortably view when I type long messages. I'm using Windows XP SP2.

We rebooted the computer yesterday and when it all came up i had the followin error. xlm page cannot be displayed. underneath it has the following ///c:/documents and settings/candy/localsetting/temp/mr... Does this mean anything to any one.
This week on a minority of the websites I go on regularly the text and images aren't loading and only the background comes up. This isn't a problem with the websites as I've tried them on another PC and they come up fine.The info bar at the bottom says that the images are downloading but it's happening really slowly and even when it finishes there's still nothing.Before that happens it also says "error on page" then "done but with errors on page".
is there any way to get Windows Explorer or My Computer to show the size of folders as it does with individual files? If not, is there a Windows Explorer / My Computer type app thai will do so?
Using Partition Expert on a master HDD with two partitions I resized the second partiton down by about 8 GB, then resized the C partition from 10 to 18.25 GB. Committed Operation. Seemed to be doing fine, next time I looked at the screen it was blue and it said the system had encountered a problem and Windows was shut down to prevent damage. The PC rebooted fine and everything works OK. However, Explorer says the size of the two partitons is 10 GB and 20 GB, somewhere I lost 8.25 GB (which is the least of my worries anyway)Defrag says the same thing, however, Partition Expert says the partitions are 18.25 GB and 20GB. And this is what Windows Disk Manager says: In the top panel it says the partitons are 10 GB and 20 GB.
In trying to enlarge font for my father so he could view things more easily, the font on the internet is much too large. Some web pages are not viewable because of it. I have tried the Accessibility, Display, Font via the Control Panel. Tried internet options via IE. Suggestions please. As always, thank you .
