Computer problem: HELP PLEASE!!!

Can anybody tell me how to adjust the settings on my computer so that I can actually read what's on the screen? (THIS IS NOT ONLY AFFECTING MY RHP, BUT EVERY SITE THAT I GO TO) I am not sure what happened, but all of a sudden, most of the fonts on my screen are so small, that I can not even read them. It was not always like this & I am not sure how it happened, but I would like to fix it. So, can anybody help? Please 🙂

Thanks,

D

What have you done?

You probably should tell us what browser you're using.

I use mozilla firefox, and at the top of the window I can click 'view', then go to text size and adjust it from there.

Other browsers are probably similar.

Hope that helps,
Marc

Changing the screen resolution of your desktop affects the size of graphics and text in IE. (If you are using Windows). Try setting it to a lower definition if this is the case.

If you're using Internet Explorer, try going to the View menu and Text Size submenu.

Some websites reset this for some reason and it affects everything else afterwards.

If you have a mouse with a roller, hold down the control key, and then roll the roller, and you can change the font size that way. Easy enough to set the font at whatever size you want.

All it took was a gesture.

Is that what you mean? this control lets me scroll up and down
faster. I do what you say however, nothing like font stuff happens.
actually nothing happens. Win 2000, IE.

CTRL + + and CTRL + - does the same thing. In Firefox anyway.

Thanks rheymans ... This did the trick. I must have hit the control key and rolled the roller without even noticing it. So thanks again ... It's back to normal.
