Sigh. Another stupid computer question -- please help

I was offline (horrors!) for more than 48 hours. HELL, it was, having my computer sick. Just got it back earlier today with XP now on it which I rather like.

Except IE/SlimBrowser or XP is showing DU with ENORMOUS type in SlimBrowser (which ) -- I can do a Control+K (Zoom Out) and that's great, but I have to do it every time I go into and out of a thread. IOW, for every page. Is there someway I can set something that fixes this? (Text size larger or smaller does nothing for DU pages, btw).

I can't imagine it's SlimBrowser because I was using that without this problem until my crash on Sunday.

Any suggestions? TIA.

1. I'm not certain of what may help.

First, exiting out of all windows when set as you want it can leave things set upon restarting IE.

Second, Try IE: Tools/Internet Options/General tab/Accessibility button/Ignore font sizes specified in web pages CHECK IT. (Elad recently posted this, come to think of it, this is probably what you need!)

Love your work Eloriel,

PM me if needed. NOT!
I just noted the icons are gone. I'll check here for a bit, unless I run out to a party.

2. Thanks, Festivito

On both counts. :-)

Unfortunately, that seems to have done nothing. What did Elad say it would do? No matter, it did nothing at all. :shrug:

This is driving me crazy. So much so, I'll probably actually spend less time at DU. I just hate it.

Cool name, btw.
