Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I bought a nice big new monitor. It told me it would work best if I reset the display to 1680x1050 at 60 Hz refresh rate. With some scuffling I figured out how to do this.
Now all the fonts are too small, and webpages that used to take up the whole screen are centered cozily in the middle, and I can't read anything without squinting.
I swear, I don't have the energy to figure out anything else. I'm ready to scream. What do I do?
Are you using Windows XP?
yes...
I did all that... I already have Clear Type turned on too. The fonts on my desktop are big enough; it's the fonts in the webpages that're killing me. And the size of the webpage display. I'm trying to fix it in Tools->Internet Options, but no luck.
Wait... I set the display back to Windows Classic instead of XP... that seems to have done soemthing positive.
I hate Windows. Have I mentioned this?

IE 6 or IE 7?
IE7.
Frick. I guess I'll have to get used to all my websites being either narrow and centered or stretched out and tiny, because it doesn't look like there's any way to change it that doesn't frell the layout.
Maybe the stompies will enlarge our font, just for me.
Page > Text Size isn't helping?
