Bloody kids been at the PC again

All the headings and everything else is ok, its just the post messages that are too small, probably ok for most people but I have terrible eyesight

look in the right hand corner where there are 3 boxes, the middle one should have a large square in it. click on that first, they toolbar with the words should appear.

If you can't see the view command try bypassing it.

Press the ctrl key and the + key together

UrsulatheSeawitch · 19/08/2006 19:26

Press Ctrl and scroll the wheel on the mouse at the same time; works for me.

kiskidee · 19/08/2006 19:26

err no, MSN is not a browser. A browser (like explorer) is the program you open in order to surf the net. I don't use MSN so can't help there. no wonder i couldn't help

No nothing happens when I do that SaintGeorgeMarple, I thought it was something to do with display in controk panel, but that enlarges heading only.

Sniff, sob.

Some of us have old mice. With no wheels, just little zimmer frames.

SaintGeorgeMarple · 19/08/2006 19:36

Although actually it does the same job as CTRL + and CTRL -

Surprised that didn't work waterfalls. You did use the big + key on the right hand side and not the one on the top row of the keyboard didn't you?

UrsulatheSeawitch · 19/08/2006 19:39

I tried Ctrl and + and it came up with an "add to favourites" box, StG.

Maybe that only works when you have a zimmer frame mouse?

SaintGeorgeMarple · 19/08/2006 19:41

Maybe just an IE command.
I use a lot of keyboard shortcuts because I don't like using a mouse anyway. I get really bad RSI otherwise.

UrsulatheSeawitch · 19/08/2006 19:43

Nope, it was aol's own add to favourites. Another variable

SaintGeorgeMarple · 19/08/2006 19:50

Forgot you are on aol. That's a totally different world.
