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?
These girls have the most beautiful dresses. And so do I -- how about that?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

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.
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?

Hm. Page->Text Size in a certain magical combination with Tools->InternetOptions->Accessability->Ignore Specified Fonts might work. I'll fritz around with it more tomorrow.
Thanks, y'all.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Firefox as a browser might help...

You know, it might. I think I had Firefox for a while and liked it, pre-this PC. (PC=Piece of Crap, in this case.) I'll try it. Tomorrow, though. Thanks, Daniel.

1680x1050
Actually, Zenkitty, this is a HUGE screen size setting. It's no wonder all your fonts, icons and other screen objects are microscopic now.
Screw what the manufacturer said were the "optimal settings," they're just trying to show off how cool the toy they sold you is.
I think you'll be much happier if you ignore them and set the screen to a much more reasonable 1024x768 or possibly even smaller setting.
I think that alone will clear up all the problems your having with your groovy new monitor.

Our wings are not tired
Sean, it really depends on the screen. The 20" Cinema Displays I have both run at 1680x1050 and they are the smallest of the ones that Apple currently sells. It looks like a big number, but for a wide aspect ratio screen it's not really all that big.
