Anybodyknow how to fix this?

Try this...
If you have a wheel mouse, hold down the CTRL key. Pulling the wheel back should enlarge the screen font, pushing it forward should decrease it.

Seems like a familiar problem.

Brad,
Not to change the subject, but I noticed your sig line regarding pessimism.
One of my favorite quotes goes like this. "I like being a pessimist. As a result I am either always proven right or pleasantly surprised." I don't know who said it, but it hits the spot. heh.

I got that from a friend of mine. She is a "glass half empty" kinda gal, but she's well aware that her attitude is less than positive and can poke fun at herself enough to crack a joke about it every now and again. We were talking about political correctness one night when she made some comment and I responded that she was one of the most cynical people I knew. Drawing on the PC nature of our discussion material, that's when she piped up and said "I'm not cynical. I'm realistically pessimistic!"
That being said, I printed off your saying and will take it to her. She will get a big kick out of it.

On Cynicism, this has long been one of my favorite quotes:
Cynic: n A blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, not as they ought to be. Hence the custom among the Scythians of plucking out a cynic's eyes to improve his vision.

I'm not a pessimist.
I'm a realist with survival skills.
