It may be because something has changed your system font or font size.
On my box the Vista font is Segoe UI size 9.
Right-click on a blank area of your Desktop > Personalize.
Windows Color and Appearance.
Open Classic appearance properties.
Advanced.
Check things in the 'Item' drop-box, e.g. 'Active title bar', 'Menu' and 'Message box'
should be Segoe UI size 9.
