Text and buttons in dialog box seem to be set incorrectly.

The text and buttons in dialog boxes seem to be too large and don't fit
properly. The words are cut off and I can only see part of the message
inside the dialog box. I searched through Microsft Windows help and support
and it said that my iu locale may not me set properly, but that was all the
info I could find. I'm not sure what my iu locale is or how to change it if
it is set incorrectly. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Please - cross-post if you feel it necessary to post in more than one
newsgroup about the same issue. Multi-posting can be annoying to some and
can leave important information from one newsgroup to another that could
lead you to an answer more quickly.

Sounds like you changed your font size and/or DPI.

Control Panel --> Display
(Right click on the backgroun anywhere there is not an icon, choose
properties.)

Appearance tab..
Font Size is set to?

Click on the "Effects" button in the same place..
"Use large icons" is checked or unchecked?

Cancel out of that window and back ot the appearance tab..

Change to the "Settings" tab.
Click on the "Advanced" button.
General tab..
What is your DPI setting?
 
My font size is set to "normal" and the "use large icons" box is unchecked.
My DPI is set to "normal size (96 DPI)". I hope this information helps you
to better understand my problem. Thanks for your help.
