What is Wrong with my Computer?

[Washington Hunter]

Ok...I guess it's my computer. Last night I thought it was just the new Hunt Talk, but now I see even on other message boards the font is bigger than normal. I mean, it's 10 times bigger than normal. What I'm typing right now is normal size, but everything else is way bigger than it used to be. Or is it all just in my head? I was just checking out Monster Muleys and it's the same way. What could have happened? Anybody know? I didn't do change anything on my computer that I'm aware of. Del?

Edit: Now after I posted I see it goes to the huge font. Weird. It's like my computer is set so a blind guy can read it.

Del, I tried that last night and it didn't make any difference. Maybe I'll try it again.

Del, I cleared everything and shut down, and restarted the computer and nothing changed...any other ideas?

Check out your display properties on your PC and make sure they are set correctly.

also check out internet options in your browser, click on tools then fonts under general settings in IE version 6

Other than that I have no clue.

Found the problem, it was actually under "View" and then "Text Size." It was set at "Largest." I have no idea how it got that way. I didn't change anything. Now everything is back to normal...I have it set at "smaller."

Ifg you hold the ctrl key while your turning your scroll wheel on your mouse it will make your fonts bigger (or smaller) when your in Internet Explorer.

2fast, hey that's what happened! It has to be. Cuz the night it happened I was scrolling down and everything would get bigger, then I'd scroll up and it would get smaller. I thought I was losing my mind. I don't believe I was touching the control key, but maybe I was, or it was stuck somehow. That's cool to know that though...I didn't even realize there was any way to change the font size, I thought it just was what it was.

I thought maybe ya had your bifocals on.

LOL

I think I'm still just not quite old enough to need those...but maybe another 5 to 10 years I will, especially if I keep this office job and staring at a computer screen all day, every day.
