PC experts, why is the writing microscopic small on most web pages?

[waterfalls]

Ds must have been fiddling with the pc again, and alot of websites I go to the writing is impossibly small to read.

Not a PC expert but this has happened to me and I find that if you click on edit, then text size, you can make it bigger (or smaller).

Bother - not edit. Click on View

If you click on view and go to text size you can pick from small medium large etc ...

PC beat me too it

erm.............cant find the view option

what browser are you using ?

MSN

is that a browser ? I am none the wiser then.

Look for something along the top that allows you to set preferences or settings - somewhere there should be something like appearance or font settings - you can change the default size.

along the top you will have options that start file, edit, view etc..

I tried that in system set-up, but it only it does'nt change.

for example \link{http://www.dwp.gov.uk/lifeevent/benefits/council_tax_benefit.asp\this} I can hardly see, yet MN is fine.

The only page I have those options along the top are in 'paint' otherwise I just have GO, STOP, PRINT, REFRESH.

I don't think its in system set up its on the toolbar running across the top of the screen

hold down the Control key and press +

text should get bigger

what about if you ho to your homepage? What software do you use? if microsoft then go to microsoft home page and try the troubleshooting section

I have never had the toolbar along when on the net, only in paint, and word etc.

That dont work either.

Best thing to do is go to your homepage where there will be a troubleshooting section otherweise i have no idea hth

No idea what software we use

bum

try holding down Ctrl and using mouse scroll wheel

you def on a PC not a mac?

do you have a home button? if so that will atke you there and should tell you there

yeah, deffo a pc, will try that.

No, that dont work either, ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, I could do a system restore, but if I lose anything of dh, he will kill me, lol

there's no need for a sys restore - what browser are you using?
(NB MSN is not a browser - it's prob either Internet Explorer or Firefox - either ring a bell? What pic does it have in the top left corner when a page is loading?

weird-I have been having this problem too but thanks picadilly - your solution worked for me!
Waterfalls - I hope you manage to sort it out

Internet Explorer rings a bell, but no picture in the corner when a page is loading.
