Desktop fonts too large

Guest

Hello,
I am having trouble woth the font and size on my computer. I recently
changed to monitor driver and now I can't get the font style and size back to
where it should be. It affects my desktop icons, start menu, title bar fonts,
and some status bar font sizes (for example, using clockalign.exe, the status
bar message can no longer be read because the message is too long with the
larger font size.)
I have tried removing the new monitor driver and returning to the default
plug and play monitor driver. I have tried using System Restore, but it just
says that there is nothing to change. I have gone through the display
properties to try to change the size, but it doesn't help. Changing the
screen resolution doesn't help either. It seems that it doesn't change to
the resolution that I set it to (1280x1024).
Thanks for any help,
Scott ([email protected])

Try changing the desktop theme to something else and then back to your
preferred theme.

I've tried that many times and it didn't work. I finally tried changing the
DPI to 96 and that worked. Somehow, it had been changed to 120.

Thanks for your help,

Oh I assumed from your trawl of Display Properties that you'd looked at
that. Anyway it's fixed.
