when i open my internet browser i noticed that the fonts are very small. it didnt use to be like that. my siblings were playing around with it the other day so i guess that explains why. but how do i turn them back the way they were?

Awe yes, i've had this happen to me before too, luckily the solutions is pretty simple. You should be able to go to the toolbar at the top of your screen and click on View. Move your mouse down a little bit to the "Text Size" option and click on it. If your text is set as something like smaller or smallest this probably explains your problem. From here its all preference but the default size is "Larger". You made need to refresh your browser for the option to take effect. Hope this helps.

Hi there. Ahhs, those kids can be quite a pest when it comes to messing up your computer settings huh? Try increasing the font size. Here's how you do it.
In both IE and FireFox, View menu, Text Size >, and choose a larger size. That should work. (shortcut keys: Firefox CTRL+ or CTRL-, IE none)
If sometimes that doesn't work, you can force it for that page (remember to reset back to original size once you're done with that site). Tools menu, Internet Options..., under General tab, click on Accessibility... button, and check on Ignore Font Sizes on webpages and OK, OK. That *might* work.
If you "have" a wheel mouse you can try that CTRL key hold down and mouse wheel scroll as that other user suggested.
Hope this helps

For Internet explorer: press and hold the control button, and spin the wheel on your mouse away from you, you should see a change in the size of the text.
If you MSN browser go to the view on the top of the page scroll down to where it says text & choose the size you want.

If you are talking about the whole screen has tiny writing, the go to your desktop and right click in an empty part. When the dialog box opens up select "Properties." When that dialog box open select the tab for "settings." Move the slide bar so that it reads 1024 x 768 pixels. Then select "OK."

On the main windows launch screen, right click and select Properties. Select the Settings tab. drag the Screen Resolution bar to the left to 1024 by 768 or less. Then click OK.

that is super easy to fix...go to either control panel if you use a pc or system preferences if you use a mac.
in control panel should appear an option that says apperence and there you can selct the size of the font...
do the same in a mac computer...
Good luck!!
