Hi guys,
My cousin has a problem on his HP Pavilion (1.2 Ghz, 256 Ram, XP home Ed.)
monitor that I have not been able to correct.
Compared to you guys I'm a novice at this although I've had self taught
experience since 97.
Everything on his monitor, IE, OE, and all is splashed all over his screen
with extremely large fonts and overwriting on websites so that you have to
you have to scroll Left and right to read the darn thing.
I have checked all of the monitor settings at the screen properties and can
not see anything that is out of line, I've even changed some properties eg
font settings, resolution, etc with no luck.
When he sends emails, they come in that irritating LARGE font.
