It could be 2 things; the resolution of the screen (1024 x 768, etc) or whether your internet browser is set to small, medium or large text.
For screen resolution, close all windows. On the desktop, right-click and select properties. In the dialog, click the settings tab. Slide the resolution to a bigger or smaller resolution (1024 x 768, 1280 x 1024, etc) and click OK to see what it looks like. If you don't like it, do the same again and change it to something else.
For the browser text size, in Internet Explorer go to the View menu, Text Size and select a bigger or smaller text size.

If is is only on the internet, Go to the "view" menu in IE, choose "text size" and choose a smaller size. Also, check your screen resolution, it may be set lower than before. If you reset resolution, go up one notch at a time till you find what works. To change resolution: right click on the desktop and choose "properties" far right tab is display settings, just move the slider.

It sounds like the resolution was changed.
Go to Control Panel -> Appearance and Themes -> Display -> Settings.
On the slider, you will be able to change the resolution. The norm is 800 by 600 pixels, though 1024x768 isn't too uncommon. If you have a widescreen monitor, then the resolution that's normal is 1280x768. Play around with it and see which ones you like.

Go To Settings > Then Control Panels Choose Displays and the the setting tab at the bottom of this screen is a slider bar that allows you to change the resolution

right click on desktop, go properties> settings> advanced> general> DPI settings. Set it to normal size. If it doesn't work then change your resolution higher. And of course go advanced>monitor and increase your refresh rate.
After change your resolution you have to set your your monitor to fit the screen fully. You can find some settings key onto your monitor. There are some keys to set the monitor "Zoom, H-position, H-size, V-position, V-size". You have to set it by your self. If you find any problem to set the monitor function then get help with the monitor manual. Also you can contact me "acidrain005@yahoo.com"

It's due to change in setting only. It is related to the resolution. So go to desktop, right click> properties> settings> now select the color setting as 32 bit true color and screen size as 800X600 or 1024X768 as per your suitability.

Sounds like it is just the Internet that you're having problems with?? If that is the case hit the View menu (next to File, Edit) then go down to Text size then choose one that suits you best, like Medium, Smaller or Smallest.

With your browser open hold the control key down while scrolling up or down with your mouse scroll wheel. This controls browser font size. Good luck!

Sounds like your screen resolution has been changed.
Right click on desktop -> click Properties -> click Settings tab
The part that says 'screen size' move the slider to 'More' then press OK.
