Hi Glen, Empty your temporary internet files. In Internet Explorer, go to view then Text Size. Press refresh (F5 key) - does that help? Cheers, Horatia

For some reason it isn't playing ball. The size selected is 'largest' and it is only changing on the MSN homepage. Ancestry and familysearch affected too,IGI appears smaller too. Everytime the kids get near the pc i lose passwords and text size etcbutt of course they have never changed anything!! Glen

Glen, I take it your screen resolution size hasn't been changed? Go to Control Panel, make sure it is showing Classic View rather than Category View, then go to Display then look at Settings. You can see what your screen resolution is set to. Cheers, Horatia
