For about a month, my wife has been having some issues with websites that she visits not displaying properly. She does not have the problem on her home page, but she does have the problem visiting sites in both AOL and IE.

The problem is that text is being displayed larger than it should be, and as you can see in the screenshot examples, everything is bunched up, out of place and even overlapping. Her resolution is set at 800x600 (which is how she prefers it). The cap where everthing is displayed normally is my computer, and the other one is hers. Mine was also set on 800x600 for the example.

I recently upgraded her video card from a GF4 MX4000 to a GF5500FX, and it is running current drivers. She is not having any display issues with her programs or applications, only online. She did not do anything, or change anything...it just sort of happened.

Any ideas why this is happening?

go in your internet explorer or firefox and go to view > text size and then decrease

Thank you very much chr0nicles! That did the trick...
Her vision is not as good as it could be, and sometimes after being online for a long time, her eyes get tired. Now she knows how to fix it to something else if her eyes start to bother her. And she can turn it off the rest of the time.

My wife says, "Thanks! I should have asked him that a month ago!"
