Browser stuck at large font

P

Perfecto

Hello folks:

After playing around the accessibility wizard of my
Windows XP (Build 2600.xpsp2.030422-1633 (SP1)), my
Internet Explorer 6.0 is stuck at a large font.
http://support.microsoft.com/ is unreadable. I can't
restore it.

Even when my "Text Size" under the View menu is Medium,
browser fonts, text boxes and buttons are 16 pixels high.
No matter what text size I pick, text boxes and buttons
stay this size.

The checkboxes in "Accessibility" of the General tab of
Internet Options are all off. Reinstalling IE6 didn't fix
it.

How do I get it back to normal??

Thanks,
Perfecto

See if applying this .reg file helps:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\International\Scripts\3]
"IEPropFontName"="Times New Roman"
"IEFixedFontName"="Courier New"
"IEFontSize"=hex:02,00,00,00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Settings]
"Always Use My Font Face"=dword:00000000
"Always Use My Font Size"=dword:00000000

Thanks, Jerold.

No it doesn't. The first two of the first set is already configurable
by clicking <Font> in the General tab of Internet Options. The third
one is "Medium" under Text Size of IE's View menu. The second set is
already configurable by clicking <Accessibility> in the same General
tab of Internet Options. As such all these registry settings are in
place.

Additional info: I created a Guest user and this guest account is
unaffected by this problem.
