text size is alwyas resetting itself to smaller....

[Guest]

Hello,

I have IE6 on WinXP SP2 and my problem is that between closing and
restarting IE6 the text size defaults to 'smaller' even tough I repeatedly
set it to 'medium' from the View menu.

How can I get the medium setting to stay?

I run at 1280x1024 so some sites are very hard to read when IE display them
with smaller text.

Any ideas?

Hi,
See: IE- Text size in IE keeps changing:

Also, you aren't accidentally using the [Ctrl key+Scroll wheel] shortcut to
change text size, are you?

Hope this helps,

Don,

Thanks a lot for the link!

It was Eudora that was messing things up in Internet Explorer. I turned off
the 'Use Microsofts viewer' option in Eudora, and everything is now sized as
it should.

I can confirm that even though the KB article speaks of IE5 and Eudora 4x,
the same solution applies to IE6 with Eudora 6.2.

Thanks again!
