When I got to MSN.com (default home page) or any other web site, my fonts are
too large to display the information correctly. I have tried playing around
with the font sizes, text sizes, encoding and have compared all the IE
settings with another PC I have but I can't seem to correct it.
Can anyone help. I've tried everything I could think of but I can't solve
this one. I tried reloading IE but still had same results.
 
Hello Vinny,

This sounds like you may have the "Ignore font sizes specified on Web pages"
Accessibility option set.

On the menu bar in Internet Explorer, please go to Tools, and select
Internet Options. Near the bottom right, click the button titled
"Accessibility". In the Accessiblity window, under the Formatting section,
see if the option "Ignore font sizes specified on Web pages" is checked. If
it is, this is the reason for your large fonts. If you do not use this
option for accessibility purposes, you may want to turn it off by unchecking
it. This will allow you to view web pages as the designers intended them to
be seen.

Brandon,
I don't have any of the "Ignore font" stuff checked under the accessability
option but I appreciate you trying to help. This one has been bothering me
for a few months. I've researched everywhere but can't figure it out. I've
been tempted to reload the entire PC just to correct it.

Vinny,

What version of Windows and IE are you using? Is this Windows XP? Do you
have any Service Packs installed?

To determine you IE version, select the Help menu and click "About" in
Internet Explorer. Can you send me your Version and Update Versions?

Thanks,
