Compare two systems:
1) XP Pro on a Acer Laptop
AOL 9.0 (SE)
15" LCD display -- either 1450x1050 or 1680x1050 --32 bit color
IE "text size" set at "medium"
Display fonts set at "normal"
AOL fonts set to large "where possible"

2) Vista Home Premium on an e-machines desktop
AOL 9.0 (VR)
21" LCD display -- 1680x1050 -- 32 bit color
IE test size set at "larger"
Display fonts : Vista has a DPI setting: 96 or 120
AOL software objects to 120 -says designed for 96 --so set at 96
AOL fonts set at large "where possible"

In the first system there are no problems with AOL.
In both systems the fonts "native" to the AOL software are fine and
easily read.
In the Vista system forwarded e-mail is quite readable and fonts are
fine.
However, the names that appear on the "buddies" list have a font size so
small
they it is unreadable. And incoming mail directly from the writer has
fonts
so small they are essentially unreadable. Experimentation (sending mail
to myself
from another system in various fonts) shows that the Vista system is
reducing
the fnt size by 4 or 5 sizes. i.e. sent in size 10 appears at about size
5 or 6.

Any fix? Or is it an inherent conflict with AOL 9.0 and Vista
AOL help had none--- suggested a resolution of 640x480 on the 21"
screen!!!

I thought I had seen stupid things before but using Vista AND AOL? That
takes the cake. All you need to do now to complete the mess is add
Semantec to the install.

Gosh, you caught a typo. Congratulations. Now if you can only learn how
to compose a complete sentence and properly spell Symantec ...
