I'm having a problem with IE 6. It is display msn.com very stangely. It
shows all the tect bigger than need be and it isn't formatted correclty.
Yahoo does this as well but google and other sites are fine. I have seen
this once before and had to reload the entire machine. Any ideas of how to
fix this. This is happening on a brand new machine that has just had
everything installed.
Thanks in advance.
 
Hi W :-)

First, it you have Yahoo Companion, unintall it.

Also...

Font size too big or small



To change the font text size go to IE>View>Text Size>and select the size you
want from the list.



or...



If you have a wheel on your mouse, hold down the Ctrl key and move the
wheel. This may get your fonts back to the size you want.



and.....


Also, if you have XP, you can use its ClearType feature, which tends to make
text more legible. See Settings, Control Panel, ClearType Tuning.

The font size in IE keeps changing.

If IE-View-Text Size does not stick....

---solution 1
If you are using Eudora 4.2 or greater then use Tools-Options-Viewing
Mail and uncheck "Use Microsoft's viewer"
It is Eudora that is setting the IE text size and unchecking that
option will stop it.

The key that Eudora 4.x will change is this:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\International\Scripts\3]
"IEFontSize"=hex:02,00,00,00

---solution 2
In Outlook 2000 go to Tools/Options/Mail Format/Fonts/International
Fonts, and for each font
change the "Font Size" entry to your desired size.

If these steps do not resolve your problem, or you need help with the above,
please post back to this thread with the details and any error messages.

Hope this helps
