Hi Guys,

I've had this problem for a substantial amound of time, and its finally really starting to annoy me.

On the internet, and 'default' fonts appear etremely large!

For example:

Notice the red lined items are really large.

This happens not just on esato, but a google search result will be absolutely huge, and it is really annoying!

I'm running at 1280x1024 btw, and I've got another problem where my Display panel seems to have been blocked, by an administrator. I don't have an administrator though, this is a stand alone PC in my home!

Hope someone can help,

Charlie-

Also, look at this:

All of that area is much to large!

Go to IE Menu:
"View" -> "Text size" -> "Medium"

That should do it...

Another way of changing that text size is to hold control and use your mouse scroll wheel.

I had the same problem, and i lost much time realizing what was going on..

. Sometimes text would appear like that with no apparent reason.

Well, that's a hard one, but an administrator MUST exist in your XP installation, maybe you don't remember...

Check if your login is an administrator one.

If not, you must reboot and login as administrator. And then set your user permissions to Administrator.

So that was what was happening to me...
That's why my text font would grow with no apparent reason.

Yeah, good tip coxy.

Hi Guys.

Thanks for all your tips. the scroll wheel +ctrl must be why it would change all the time!

Anyway, I've found a way around the admin, I downloaded a tool called Xploiter, and now I can go on it! Yay!

Thanks for your help guys,

I just hope my computer doesn't go crazy cos I just used a 98/2000 only tool on xp.
