Need help..........design webpages but now they are appearing in XP all of a
sudden, with no setting changes, like 4 times their normal size?

What can I do to have them set like b4?
 
Here's one possibility. Open IE, go to Tools, select Internet Options, on
the General tab, click Accessibility be sure there are no check marks next
to "Ignore font styles specified on Web Pages" and "Ignore font sizes
specified on Web Pages." Not sure if this is the issue but it's a good
place to start as having those options checked can result in the symptoms
you describe. Don't assume because you didn't change those settings that
they have not been changed. It's possible some program or even something
you are doing in creating the pages is somehow selecting those options so be
sure to check it out.
 
nope that is not ticked off

If you can pinpoint approximately when this began, perhaps you can use
System Restore to take you back to a time before you had this issue.
Start\All Programs\Accessories\System Tools\System Restore.

One more off-the-cuff suggestion.

Do you have a wheel-mouse?

Hold CRTL key and thumb the wheel to change size.

Beautiful and very useful suggestion. Tried it an brings back memories of
the time I had this problem and forgot about it.
