Internet Explorer 6 SP2

Hello Everyone!

I was wondering if anyone has heard of this issue. I have a laptop running
Windows XP SP2, and IE 6. A week ago, something happened that caused the
font to become huge, and the colors to appear washed. Here is what I have
done:

1) I ran the scf /scannow to no success
2) Installed IE 7, only to have the issue persist
3) Reinstalled the video driver
4) Tried to revert back to IE 6 from IE 7
5) Reset the IE 6 settings back to default
6) Tried to reinstall IE 6 from the ie.inf file

All these attempts to correct IE have been unsuccessful for me, and the
issue is still remaining, and I am not sure what else the issue can be, as
the only affected program appears to be IE. Any suggestions?? Any help
would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

issue one:

although the post may not
have been related to sp3,
it was discourteous for
Chris to have arbitrarily
deleted it.

instead, it would have
been appropriate to
post a reply advising
the error and provide the
correct place to post
the question regarding
internet explorer like

"Discussions in Internet Explorer 6 General"

issue two:

there is little point in
reposting the issue on
behalf of the o.p. as
responses provided
would not be known to
the o.p.

Did you crash out of a game that left your resolution as that needed by
the game? If so, I've always wondered if re-running the game, then
exiting the game properly would reset the original settings.

Also try using System Restore to revert to a date before the problem
occurred.
