Very small text in dialog boxes

Can anyone help...the buttons on Google and the dialog box have become almost
unreadable by virtue of size...it can be corrected by
[Page][Encoding][Western European(Windows)...but next search its back to
small text.

Cheers John

RE: Very small text in dialog boxes

Internet Explorer uses Page, Text Size, not encoding.

RE: Very small text in dialog boxes

Set the encoding to AutoSelect, Unicode and see if that helps.

RE: Very small text in dialog boxes

Go to your Menu bar in IE7, "view", then "text size"

RE: Very small text in dialog boxes

Thank you all for your efforts...I solved it by reinstalling Vista (took two
hours without loss of any data or personal files)...however I still do not
know what caused the problem but suspect it started after an automatic
Windows update but do not know which one!

Re: Very small text in dialog boxes

if it's not the IE font size setting, then could also have been the system
DPI setting (available from right click desktop -> personalise)

Re: Very small text in dialog boxes

No I tried that early on...it doubled the size of the rest of the text but
the buttons remained very small...

Since my reload of Vista I now have a problem with my output audio
device..its not there...the battle continues

Re: Very small text in dialog boxes

My audio problem is now solved...I uninstalled the audio driver and
downloaded an update from Dell which did the trick...
