Hey guys,
I'm running Windows XP Home, with IE 6.1, and in VIEW, the text size doesn't want to change.
I need to make my text bigger, because i'm now on a 21inch CFT monitor, and the small text is hurting my eyes.
A beer to anyone that can help me with this problem
Many thanks!
Gimie
hi
I don't want to be mean but why are you still using internet explorer?
it is compromised and ad agencies can and do install spyware when you visit many websites.
ok ok
i do not know why your text won't change
firefox xan do it but defaults back if you open a new window
hey egg dont bother this guys a chump
view>>>text size>>>bigger
*
Go onto your desktop and right click
-Then click the "Appearance" tab.
-Then select the font size drop down and choose LARGE.
That should fix it.

Nice tip, i actually done this a few short hours ago, worked a treat for most text, unfortunately this setting hasn't affected the text in IE.Originally Posted by z3n
I'm thinking my IE is f***ed, and it will probably be fixed with the upcoming SP2 patch or if i reinstall windows, since once IE is screwed, it's best to completely reinstall it.
Replying to the question, why do i still use ie?
Well, i've tried everything else, and i don't care how big the security hole, IE is still my favourite internet engine, it's the fastest, never crashs, and looks/feels the most simple and most comfortable to use.
Mozilla, Opera, Firebox are all crap compared, that's just my opinion, they are good, don't get me wrong, better in most aspects, but IE is just the one for me
Thanks for all the replies, but if someone does actually have any more useful information, please send it this way!

How've you been Gimie? I prefer to use IE too, although I've been using the SP2 beta versions.Nice tip, i actually done this a few short hours ago, worked a treat for most text, unfortunately this setting hasn't affected the text in IE.

A possible answer to your problem try Display Properties, Settings, Advanced, General, then set the DPI setting to Large Size.

You're a f**king gem Detek!
Worked straight away, perfect!
I had a hunch last night it was something to do with the *forced* settings of peoples websites, thereby Internet Explorer's settings being ignored, but i went to bed before i posted back my findings.
Anyway,
Thanks a million, i can't thank you enough!
Hey Conan, nice to see everyone again!
Sorry i've been away, i'm jobless at the moment, thus i have a SHIT load of time on my hands, and i can again waste my life away on the Internet like the good old days
So hopefully, while i'm enjoying the benifits of being unemployed (i threw in the towel at my old job) you will see alot more of me
Infact, i set techzonez as my homepage last night, to make sure i sit my fat ass down and type something
Oh, before i go, can you believe that MSN deleted my hotmail account because i didn't log in for over 3 months!?
I couldn't believe it, my password wasn't working, so i checked to see if my account was still active, but it had been wiped, so i recreated it, but my friends lists are gone, so anyone that had me on their msn before, do MESSAGE me, so i can add you back.
Thanks a million everyone!
Peace!

was this the airport job gimie? so now maybe you can be a teenager and hook up with all the ladies.
Yeah, and although i'm being as lazy as a man can be, i'm getting pretty bored now, and can't wait to get back to a job i enjoywas this the airport job gimie? so now maybe you can be a teenager and hook up with all the ladies.
Unfortunately, i live in a crime ridden area full of cocky nobs, and girls that i wouldn't piss on if they was on fire, so being unemployed in my situation ain't as good as it should be
Nevermind, life will be sweet one day
Hey phish, i added you to msn, you coming on anytime soon?
only at home now they blocked all IM's at work because some got the slammer virus and brought the whole network down thru IM'ing.
what a ***** huh?
I guess ill chat to you on the board during your working hours, and catch you on msn some time
:)
no problem, we're here to learn, share, help. isnt that right
HTT PORT..........HTTPort allows you to bypass an HTTP proxy which is blocking you from the Internet. With HTTPort you may use the following software (just a sample list, not limited to !) from behind an HTTP proxy: e-mail, IRC, ICQ, news, FTP, AIM, any SOCKS capable software, etc. The basic idea is that you set up your Internet software in such a manner, that it considers your local PC to be the remote server it needs. This is where HTTPort enters. It intercepts connections from this software and runs the connection through the proxy - this is called tunneling
