Crystalina replied:
Hey!! Mine too! Thanks so much! It's been like that since last night and it's been driving me insane.

Crystalina replied: Well that works for the forum but everything on my pc is still huge.

Our Lil' Family replied: hmm, sorry...can't help you there.

grapfruit replied: Have you tried going into your control settings (display) and making sure the font size in apperance says "normal"??

grapfruit replied: Ok, I totally screwed mine up trying to figure out how to fix yours

mckayleesmom replied: Look up at your toolbar....go to VIEW...then scroll down to TEXT SIZE and it will have small, med, large....

maybe that will work.

grapfruit replied:
you're a genius! I wonder how I made it so big w/o doing that....

That's what always works for me when my kids make the screen big.

Crystalina replied: All that stuff is working great for the text but my problem is that the icons on my desktop are huge, the sigs/avas are huge and my address bar and all my tools on top are huge. If I do all that it makes the text normal size but nothing else.

Calimama replied:
Yep, that always works for me!

mckayleesmom replied: Is it everything..or just the text? If it is everything..You have to click on your menu on your monitor...and then follow those directions. It sucks though and It is a horrible task trying to get it all right again

It sucks though and It is a horrible task trying to get it all right again. You just have to play around with it for a while. Your lucky its just bigger...Mckaylee or Russell managed to make my whole screen crooked one time.

Crystalina replied:
Yes, it's everything. I'll try that.

Teesa®© replied: Right click on a blank spot on your Desktop. Click on "Properties", then the "Appearance" tab. Is the font size set to "Normal"? Click on "Effects" there and see if "Use large icons" is checked. Take the check out, if it's there. Click the Appy's and OK's till those windows are closed.

If your Start Menu items are large too, and they weren't before, click on your Start, right click on a blank spot and hit "Properties". Click on "Customize" and put a check in "Small Icons". Click the Appy's and OK's till those windows are closed.

For browsers, you can hold down your CTRL key and scroll your mouse button either up or down to make the fonts smaller or larger.

Netscape: View > Text size, click the one you want. If you want to be more specific, click on Tools > Options > Content tab.

Firefox: View > Zoom, click the one you want. If you want to be more specific, click on Tools > Options > Content tab.

IE: View > Text size, click the one you want. If you want to be more specific, click on Tools > Internet Options > Fonts.

Those are the only browser's I have. Hope this helps!!
