How do I adjust the text that is inside windows. For
example, I have a dialog box whose text was mysteriously
enlarged and as a result I cannot see all the options
presented by this dialog box. I cannot resize it either as the
program doesn't let me. Thanks.
 
Hi Johnny,

It sounds like the font size got increased. Right click the desktop and
choose 'Properties' from the context menu. When Display Properties appears
click on the 'Appearance' tab. Near the bottom the dialog is a combobox
entitled 'Font size:' Click on the down arrow attached to the box. Select
Normal and then click the OK button.

If this doesn't solve the problem then perhaps you have a high contrast
scheme that is set. Press Alt + Shift + Prtn/SysRg keys together. A dialog
will appear asking you want to turn on high contrast. If the checkbox
labeled 'Use High Contrast' is checked then uncheck and then press the OK
button.

I hope this helps,
Dennis Davis [msft]
