I feel so silly asking these questions and hope someone can help me.
Even when looking over the answers of other questions I seem baffled by
computer speak so please if you can speak as plainly to me as possible I
would greatly appreciate it.

Two questions- and some questions within those questions.

My husband and I had the windows of our computer fairly large so it is
easy to read- well somehow that has changed to smaller text. I have
tried to change the resolution by right clicking on the desktop and it
isn't going back to the way it was before. Also, the pages I am
looking at on the net aren't the same- they are a smaller- more compact
print.

Also, my address bar- where I type in addresses has completely
dissappeared. Wonder where it has went to.=) How can I make this
come back.

Thank you for taking time to answer these basic questions. I
appreciate any and all help.
 
Hi,
Address Bar... If you can see any part of the Address Bar or the word
Address try double-clicking it.

In IE> View> Toolbars, Address Bar is checked, right?
Then go to IE> View> Toolbars, uncheck "Lock the toolbars" Grab the vertical
"handles" at the end of the various toolbars and move them around- up and
down as well as side to side.

Or go to http://windowsxp.mvps.org/IEFAQ.htm#IEToolbars Download and run
this REG file to reset IE toolbars to default:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/reg/IEToolbar.reg
[Close all browser windows and apply the REG script]"

Windows / text size...
Try Internet Explorer> View> Text size. A shortcut to this setting is to
hold down the Ctrl key while turning the mouse wheel. Accidental use of this
shortcut may have changed text size.

Hope this helps,
Don
