I'm ready to scream!!!

Okay, computer moniter is on desk. If I'm laying in bed I can pull keyboard over and type "comfortable".

Well, hubby leans over keyboard while I'm reading something and all of a sudden certain fonts are HUGE!! No warning, nothing, just - boom - everything is BIG!! I have AOL, been going through settings, internet tools, help, whatever I can find and nothing is telling my WHY this happened or HOW?? How can I make things go back to the way they were??

As I'm typing this in the message box it's normal size, small like it used to be, but the whole screen type is so BIG! Another message board I post on is AlL HUGE!!

Can anyone help a computer illiterate?

I feel so silly. Found out how to fix it and it was due to IE. I had that window open also and somehow whatever he pushed made my text size change....

I don't know enough about IE and I think I better learn some more. This convinced me!!

are you using a scroll mouse? one with a little scrolling wheel?


If you push Ctrl and move the wheel, it will adjust the text size.
also... View>text size

I sure am, does that have something to do with it?

he must have depressed the ctrl button while you were rolling the wheel

ROFL!!!

Thank you Trout!!! That's too funny!! Hubby's here looking at me like I'm crazy, and I apologize for not fully reading your last post! You already told me and I ask again, duh!!

I can't stop giggling, feel so embarrassed!!

ha ha

haha what a great thread...

The same thing happened to me.. one day I was leaning on the keyboard without really noticing it.. I was scrolling up and down a web page and all of the sudden the Fonts started to explode into super sizer..I though I caught some sort of virus.... I quickly figured out when you press control and scroll the mouse you get afont change,,, I use it once in a while now.. Its handy :)
