Small unreadable fonts on web sites

[Guest]

I have XP and it's always been fine up until the last time I had to
format/reinstall.
When I view some web sites (this one for example) certain areas of text
appear ridiculously small, unreadable in some cases, but others are fine.
I have other user profiles set up on this computer, but they seem to be
unaffected - sites which appear to have tiny writing on them actually look
like they have large perfectly legible writing on them if I view them on
another profile.
Any ideas about how I can rectify this?
Thanks!

"this one"? Which one? We can't read your mind, y'know. Give a URL.

THIS ONE! The very same one you have just posted in!

Ok, another site that is particularly bad is www.bt.co.uk. The large list of
links in the middle of the page (3 columns of them I think) are completely
unreadable they appear so small.
Pretty much every site I view has something on it that appears too small.

If your mouse has a scroll wheel try pressing the CTRL key and scrolling the
wheel. If this doesn't work Click on the View Menu then Text size and pick a
larger size. If neither of these work post back for more suggestions.

Thank you, you are a life saver!!! Ctrl and mouse scroll worked just fine.

Which one? I did not post in a site: I posted using my news reader.
(Hint - a lot of people use news readers, not web-based usenet
facilities. Hint - please bottom-post.)

I just so happened to be looking here for an answer to this very same problem. Thank you so much Kerry!
