We got everything else fixed by reloading all the software. But the text is messed up. It is really tiny, and some things look like they are in bold.

I have gone to view and set the text to largest, and it still looks like i need a magnifying glass to read it. Is there somewhere else to change it? Thank you.

Hold down the control button and scroll up (or maybe down). This changes the size.

Is it just your browser or your email client and other programs also? What browser and what operating system?

I'm using windows xp and internet explorer. Everything is weird looking.

right click somewhere on the blank part of the desktop and select properties. This should bring up the display properties box.

Go to the settings tab and tell me what the "screen resolution" is set to.

Check to see that your fonts are properly installed. For example, in IE, go to Tools->Internet Options ->fonts
Note which 2 fonts are selected there.

Now open "My Computer"
Go to C:\Windows\Fonts
Choose a view with Icons - Do you see these 2 fonts listed there and what icons are showing next to them?

When I go to the Internet Options and Fonts:

It is set at Latin based, and the 2 fonts listed are Times New Roman and Courier New.

The icons next to those 2 are both an O, that is what most of them have for the icon. There are a few that have an A or a double T.
