are just the letters huge, or everything? like pictures, icons (folders) and such? if it's everything you're just running at the wrong screen resolution, if that's not it, i need to know what windows you're using...

okay, you might be on the "blind as a bat" settings for windows... go to your desktop and right click anywhere - select and click the "properties" option. a dialogue box will open with a few tabs, all about your resolution, screensavers, and appearance of the windows - go to appearance, or something like it (it's been a while since i saw W98) and look at what option it is set for - it's probably set for a large font setting. set it to another "theme" that has a smaller font. that's probably it... if not, then let me know what's going on...

Try this. Go to START, the up to SETTINGS and from there into CONTROL PANEL. In control panel, you'll want to pick the DISPLAY option, and double click on the little icon (a monitor on my PC). When that comes up (a window with tabs at the top) go into APPEARANCE. At this stage you should see what scheme you're running in a little browser window (it will say things like "high contrast white" or some shit). My theory is that you'll be running one with "(large)" at the end. All you have to do is move up to the one without the large, and you should be good to go. Let me know.
Yes, Im running 98 here as well! :shitty:

Ya sure you got the screen size right???
Dammit, I wish I was paying more attention when my buddy messed my machine up the same way, I know exactly what problem you're having.. I'll ask my buddy what he did, it didn't seem too difficult...

my buddy who fixed the problem will be in town today or tomorrow... I'll ask what the fuck it is and how one would fix it... if memory serves it is some stupid kind of artifact of win98... I'm sure I can help when I return

is this with anything? as in, when you open up microsoft word, per say, does it happen then? or only on your web browser?

Web Browser only. And only on certain web pages such as this one, ssg and yahoo.

Okay, I thought you were having a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT problem, so my "help" would be kinda useless....
Browser rendering is the problem... hmmmmmmm... if I accidentally think of anything I'll be back

In you tool bar? That's kind of ironic, Id like to be able to click on "change tool size" in my view bar - to tack on a few inches. Maybe that way I could be in pictures...........
