Joetheeskimo Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 On my old '98 computer, I had this problem that popped up a lil while before I got rid of it. Random text on websites were enlarged. All of a sudden, size 12 text looked like size 17 or so (or size 4+ in web terms). However, some text was normal. All of a sudden, the same problem has popped on my new computer. Let me give you an example. The text on my post right now is extra big. But the links "Suscribe to this thread" and "report post" are normal! And the links at the bottom of the page look normal. But the text looks big. And when I post this, this text: Automatically parse URLs: automatically adds http:// and around internet addresses. Email Notification: emails sent to you whenever someone replies. Only registered users are eligible. Disable Smilies in This Post Show Signature: include your profile signature. Only registered users may have signatures. Or, on some sites everything looks big and on another only all the bold text looks big. looks normal. But "Options" and "Post a Poll" is enlarged!! I did a virus scan with no results. A spyware scan got rid of a pile of spyware, but didn't fix the problem. What the hell is going on? Can some of you computer geniuses help me?

Try to pour cold water over it, and don't forget to keep it plugged in until you hear a small explosion Anyways, maybe taking a screenshot would help? I'm not sure, but maybe some of the more qualified chaps here will help you out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
