Guys, I have a seriously annoying problem.

Started IE (6.0) today and all my fonts have gone mad. The main titles of
pages are huge as well as the main body, but anything which would normally
be small is now unreadable. In view>Text Size it still shows as smallest,
which was my setting before this.

The problem is also in Outlook and Outlook Express. I have managed to change
the setting in OE and Outlook back to normal but I can't seem to correct IE.
Not only is the text all over the place but some of the actual layout and
colours on pages seems odd. Is this then a HTML problem?

Anyone any ideas as its seriously annoying. I've virus checked and found
nothing BTW.

I will be very grateful for any suggestions.

If you have a mouse wheel, try holding down Ctrl, and scrolling the mouse up
and down to increase/decrease font size.

I've tried the Tweak tool to no effect. I installed it and went to the
repair section and clicked both repair font folder and rebuild icons. All it
seemed to do was move my desktop icons over to the left (I have found some
other useful tools/options with it though so it wasn't a complete waste of
time :) )

Holding down ctrl and the mouse wheel was the first thing i tried, no
effect. It makes stuff bigger but the smallest settings is still wrong. Like
I mentioned, it looks like it isn't just a font problem and some of the
frmaes on web pages are messed up to.

Thanks for the suggestions though, keep 'em coming!
 
FIXED IT.

The assessability function was on somehow????? Left Shift, Alt and Print
Screen took it off.

The Tweak tool is very useful to how so every cloud etc.

Thanks for the help.
