It's probably the resolution of the screen was reset. Go to desktop, rt click, properties, and I think you look under appearance or settings, then monitor,(I've got Vista now and the procedure is different), and be sure the monitor's resolution is the native resolution for yours. The right resolution should put everything back to normal.

Yes, mes444 is right. Right click on a blank space (not on an icon) on the desktop and select 'properties' from the drop down menu. Click on the 'settings' tab and below the center on the left side you will see 'screen resolution'. You will want to move the slider to the right. Click 'OK' and see how things look. You may have to use a little trial and error if you don't know your monitor's resolution and don't have the manual handy.

DA... thanks. That works at least for one test. So dose Control +/- on the active text. Strange that "Compose" doesn't affect font size while Display does. Seem either or both could be the needed function - but when composing it is Display that determines the font size. I'll Google for the pain size. Sorry to put you to that extra work/test but when I can't figure out some computer question my first thought is gardenweb/computer... not Google/Web.

Go back to the tool bar and choose View on the upper toolbar. When it opens up Choose Text size . A little menu with increase or decease will pop out. By choosing increase and do that a second time you can increase the font size for the session you are reading emails. You would have to do this every time you read email I do that two times to increase the size for eyes too. I think it is about a 120 increase. At least it is on the Sea Monkey browser I use.

Thank you all for your help! I have passed on the info to my Dad, who seems to have blundered his way into some sort of satisfactory resolution. He has a young mate down the road (only 83 y.o.!), who does seem to know his way around a computer. Unfortunately, he hates Firefox (calls it Mozzarella!) and is set in his IE ways, but has cobbled together something for Dad. Next time I visit, I'll double check, and also install 3.5.1! Regards to all, Shax
