Re: Miniscule fonts

Many thanks. I did install a whole wadge of updates in Windows Update
immediately after reinstalling Windows to SP3 from SP1, and then in
Microsoft Update after installing a new Office Home and Student Edition. I
assume that in there there were driver updates.

I shall follow your links and learn. You have helped me many times in the
past, and I am most grateful

First of all, see replies to your related post in OE General newsgroup.

By any chance did you just install a driver update offered by Windows
Update?

If not and this is a sudden, new problem that occurred after WinXP SP3 was
installed, free unlimited installation and compatibility support is
available for Windows XP, but only for Service Pack 3 (SP3), until 14
Apr-09. Chat and e-mail support is available only in the United States and
Canada.

which
I have done. However, none of this seems to have any effect on the
minuscule font sizes that appear elsewhere and over which, for the life
of
me, I cannot see how I have any control. For example, the Display
Properties box has tiny font sizes, say size 4, Start/Favourites come up
in
a tiny size, likewise Start/All Programs. Weird. Start on its own comes
up
in big fonts. I can read the tiny fonts, but they why this behaviour and
how can I adjust these? They are driving me mad?
