Hello bark1,<br />
<br />
1. &nbsp;Go to View in top menu &gt;&nbsp;Text Size and select the next smaller text size.<br />
<br />
2. Reset IE settings. &nbsp;Go to Tools &gt;&nbsp;Internet Options &gt;&nbsp;Advanced. &nbsp;Click on &quot;Reset&quot; button. Click OK. Close all browsers. Reboot the computer.<br />
<br />
3. An addon may be interfering with IE, like Google Toolbar. Disable Addons. &nbsp;Go to Tools &gt;&nbsp;Add-on Manager, and uncheck the addons.<br />
<br />
If you cannot open IE, start IE without addons. &nbsp;Go to Start &gt;&nbsp;All Programs &gt;&nbsp;Accessories &gt;&nbsp;System Tools &gt;&nbsp;Internet Explorer (No add-ons).<br />
<br />
Hope this helps!<br />

bark1, glad the text size is fixed. &nbsp;Isn't the accepted comment the same as the first step that I posted in my first post?<br />

Thanks.

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.
