Full Version: Can't Change Extra Large Fonts

Hi,
We have a laptop running Vista Home. One of us is sloppy with the mouse and somehow changed the font size to super extra large for many of the menu bars. For example, when I bring up "Personalization," the menu bar with File, Edit, View, etc. shows a very large typeface at an upward slant with a slash thru the words. I tried to do a system restore but that just brings up a blank window. Control Panel has such large type that I can't access the items I need.
The laptop has McAfee antivirus and nothing comes up for viruses or trojans.
Any ideas or solutions would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Bear

Click View Text Size set to a smaller size. If you have a scroll mouse hold the ctrl key and move the scroll wheel up or down.

Thanks! Oddly enough the problem resolved itself. I downloaded and ran Malwarebyte's AntiMalware which showed no infection. Also, my husband turned off the computer last night instead of putting it in hibernation. One of those things must have had an effect!?!
