Answer 1

View -> Text Size -> Increase/Normal/Decrease
Ctrl++ (hold the control key and hit the plus key) makes the text larger.
Ctrl+- (hold the control key and hit the minus key) makes the text smaller.
Ctrl+0 (hold the control key and hit zero) makes the text normal size.
Ctrl+scroll mouse wheel

Answer 2

either you changed your resolution or somehow your text size changed on your internet browser.

if it's JUST the font on your internet browser, it's probably not the resolution. i've had that happen to me once where the font just randomly changed itself on my Internet Explorer. eventually it started getting really bad and it would change right back about an hour after i fixed it. turned out it was because of a virus, so i would run a virus scan after you change your font back just to be safe.

but anyway, go to View > Text Size > then whatever size font you want. there should be Largest, Large, Medium, Small and Smallest.

if that doesn't work, it could be your resolution. the resolution would change the size of everything on your screen, including the icons on your desktop and the toolbar and so on. to fix this, right click on your desktop and click on Properties. Then click the Settings tab and change the screen resolution until it's the size you want.

Hmm, perchance you deleted your video card motive force software. i imagine a number of those placed themselves on your upload/get rid of. The restart replaced into likely because it had to restart to end making the change you led to. If the first individual's suggestion won't be able to be executed, i'd say it truly is what occurred and also you should attempt reinstalling your video card drivers and alertness. If the first individual's suggestion should be executed, even as you're doing that, verify to verify if on the proper the position it says demonstrate it talks about a something on a someting or a default video demonstrate on something. If it really is a default video demonstrate and probably even a default adaptor, it replaced into very likely your video card software. in case you want any further help, verify you assert what you're operating, XP, Vista, and so on. and something you come across out about the form and form of the video demonstrate and video card.

Answer 4

If you have a mouse with a scroll wheel, you may have accidentally increased the font size. To adjust the font size larger or smaller, hold down your Ctrl button and scroll your mouse wheel backwards (to increase font size) or forwards (to decrease font size) until you achieve the font size you desire.

Answer 5

on Mozilla Firefox I clicked options and under content changed my default font and size. Would have been lost without some kind of starting point!


7 yrs later and it still is relevant..THANKS FOR THE HELP!

Answer 6

sounds like you changed your resolution. right-click on your desktop. go to properties>settings tab. there you can change your screen resolution. if it were just text, you could do what the person above me posted. but if it's everything, i think this will do it.

Answer 7

Maybe you went to options (or right clicked on desktop) and changed your screen resolution to 600X800 etc from 1600X1200 etc.

Answer 8

you could have enabled accessability options by accident (i fink there's a shortcut key or summin)
to fix it go to contol pannel>accessibility options>>display (tab) > then un-check use high contrast settings>or go into the settings button and change it!!!


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
