[Grumble] What ahs happened to my IE?!?!?

Olive

Explorer
For some reason I cannot explain my IE has started displaying some text as giant arial. I have no idea why, and the Internet Options don't sem to give me any clues. For example, the whole of ENWorld looks the same as usual, except for the page number of a thread I'm in. Most of the numbers look the same, but not the actual page I'm on, which is extremely large. Quoted text is the same, and HTML text in my hotmail account is oversized as well.

Any ideas?

Try the following...

To change the text sizes in Internet Explorer (versions 5.x–6.x) for Windows, you must first disable style sheets. To do so, follow the directions below:
1. Select Tools and click Internet Options
2. Select the General tab and click the box entitled Accessibility
3. Ensure that all three buttons under Formatting are checked
4. Click OK in Accessibility dialog box
5. Click OK in Internet Options dialog box
6. Click Refresh

After successfully disabling style sheets,
1. Select View
2. Scroll to Text Size and choose your preference
 

Just doing the Text Size thing will solve your problem... HoE's first step is optional.

You probably accidentally changed text sizes by holding down the Control key and moving the scroll wheel on your mouse.
