A couple of days ago IE started acting funny in that it started displaying text very small. For example, on this very site's homepage, under Tom's pic in the welcome section, the text is very small. It used to be very clear and readable, but now its a real strain on the eyes. Its happening on all pages, not just this one. Anyone know what's causing this? What setting do I need to adjust?

Hold down Ctrl key and use ya mouse scroll wheel. It works on most pages.

It happened to me also and I was stunned. Scotty35 described my problem but I will add more detail to what he said. The problem was the Zoom function. Got to the menu and set the zoom to 100% and it is back. What a relief. I was in a panic about what to do. I have no idea why it changed on me without warning.

Wonderblunt, It doesn't matter which OS.

Look at this page, now down to the bottom right. There should be a percentage value i.e. 100%.

Click on that and you can change the zoom qualities.
