I have a new pc running vista. The trouble is I like the font size on pages Im viewing to be quite large, around 14 points Id guess. Anyway Ive tried increasing it by going to View at the top of the page and clicking on font. At the moment its set to larger. Thing is some pages such as Ebay and iGoogle are ENORMOUS while others such as this one have teeny tiny letters and words. So what arnt I doing to make it uniform? Its irritating and I cant see the really small print that easily

thanks
L

Right,I'm no computer expert but in the computer control panel there is an icon for 'ease of access', if you click on this then 'optimize visual display'. Near the bottom is an otion to 'change the size of texts and icons' then chose large scale.

Sorry if you've alrady tried this or it doesn't work!
