Huge Fonts on certain webpages

[Brett Himes]

Certain webpages (Travelocity, My.Yahoo, etc.) have recently started
displaying in a huge font which makes the pages unreadable. HELP!

This happens sometimes when you have accessibility options activated, for example
Magnifier.
Open Internet Explorer and go to the Tools menu, then choose Internet Options.
Click the Accessibility button.

There are two entries:
"Ignore font style on web pages" and
"Ignore font size on web pages".
Try changing these settings (put a check there if there isn't one now, or remove the
check if there is one).
Try the site again.

I found the answer on another posting. It worked for me! Here it is:

Hold the phone - I found the solution for both text & background: It
varies just slightly from what I read so far....

Control Panel/Accessibility/Display/
Ensure box is not check - then click "Advanced"
Ensure shortcut box is not clicked AND
where it reads" Your current high contrast shceme is:"
Make sure there is nothing in there that starts with "high contrast" or
suggests a large font size"

Whoo- hoo!
