IE Text size keeps resetting itself to medium

[MrPolite]

I've changed it a billion times now! it's getting on my nerves. I set it to small, I close it, open it again and it's on small. After a few times that I open/close a page it goes back to medium again. and no, it's not because it crashes or anything. There arent any other windows open when I change the text size either.

Is there a way to change the default size in the registry or something? I dunno why this is happening

This maybe a stupid question but have you checked if there is any spyware running on your computer?

I don't know why but I'd suggest 'Opera' .

Do you have internet explorer 5?

Before you do , try repairing IE (search on this forum for howto) . Maybe it's ****ed up . If you couldn't make it then you should consider reformatting a solution to clean up the registery and everything ..........ofcourse if this problem gets on your nerves .

Its not a solution to your problem, but it might help, or it might be causing your problem; when you hold down the ctrl and move your mouse wheel with IE focused, the font size changes. Hope that helps, but it doubt it did.

hehehe no I dont make those kind of stupid mistakes, believe me. It always goes back to "medium" whether I have it on X-Large 0r X-Small

Maybe you just refuse to understand your computer knows what you really want. Best not to fight it, accept defeat. Pick your battles, otherwise your computer might become extremely irked and start renaming files on you.

I'm spanking my computer on the butt at the moment.

umm well they say "talk sense to a fool and he will call you foolish." I guess I shouldn't try to convince my fool computer that small font size is the best for me

You may also want to check the:

Internet Options, General, Accessibility... tab.

You can force websites to adhere to those, and make sure there isn't some style sheet listed in that tab either.

hmm someone has had the same problem as I had!! apparently it was outlook 2003 (or better to say, bad programming from microsoft. They've had this issue with an older version of outlook too, I have no idea why they like to recreate old bugs )

anyways if youre interested to know the answer
