weird large text on internet explorer

[Saul]

Hi
I just got a dell optiplex with xp pro. As I opened
Internet Explorer, I noticed there were no background
colors on any webpage and the text was large and weird.
ALso, in some wsites text and images overlap. The same
problem happens with all the help files. The font is like
a 36 point size and it is very annoying.

Dell doesn't believe me and they think I'm crazy.
(Then again so does my mother)

Is this a known problem?
Dell people didn't help. Can any of you?

Thanks
S. R.

Open IE, go to tools --> options --> accessibility (at the bottom) and uncheck
everything. Click ok to both windows.

Then go to view --> text size, and click medium.

Hi.
That's the first thing I did a few weeks ago when I got the
computer, but everything was unchecked already. Plus that
doesn't explain the lack of font or background colors in
web pages.

Thanks, though
