Background & Font Size problems

[Guest]

I'm having the same problem; I have just white backgrounds, very large
buttons with large text in them & huge page fonts too.

I'm using XP home, IE 6.02
I've aready tried those usual changes suggested below..

By the way; if I check the ignor font and set the view text to "smallest",
then the fonts become a little smaller but not as small as they should be !!!

Now for the backgrounds; it doesn't matter if I check the ignore box or not,
nothing changes!!

The rest of the computer is fine with normal font sizes and icons. But the
IE just doesn't respond. In some sites, the dropdown navigation is so big it
overlaps ontop of each other so bad you can hardly read it.

Is there another ajustment any where else for I.E. ????

Please let me know.
Regards,
Mike

Hi,
Take a look at Control Panel> Accessibility> Display. Generally, nothing
should be checked.

If unsuccessful with that... do you have any third-party toolbars or desktop
tweaking programs running? One of them may be causing this.

THANK YOU DON !!

I was a victim of my own demise. I thought high contrast was for sharper
picture ... (a..da). Anyway, since the rest of the pu-ter wasn't effected, I
just kept fucusing on the IE variables.

This was driving me crazy for days..

Thanks
