Ok heres what i did:
1. When logged on as me in Normal mode, set the text to medium.
2. Restart in Safe mode, admin. Size still medium.
3. Restart in safe mode, my account. Still medium.
4. Restart in Normal mode, my account, guess what...medium.
So I have no idea. Perhaps it's magically mended itself.
Edit: just closed IE and opened it again. I let the home page fully load this time (last time i stopped it), and the text size reset.
So I'm guessing it could have been the homepage.
Hi djhuk
Yes it could be your default browser page. You should be able to test that by temporarily setting it to "blank", which should retain your settings?
Cheers
Have you ran Hijackthis? if so, why don't you try re-installing IE over again?
Hi Raion,
From what he says it is not a hijack, just a change in the view settings. Over here (he is in the UK like myself) you sign up with an ISP and they give you their customised version of IE which is set to display their web page.
If he changes the settings, they are retained until he reboots, so it sounds like his start page that is doing it.
If he runs the "blank" start page test I suggested this will tell us?
Cheers
yeah, I set the homepage to Google and now the text stays set.
or so I thought....
it still seems to be changing. Can websites change the text size as i surf to them?
I also noticed I had CWS.Mupdate (not detected by spybot or Adaware) which I'm guessing may have come from freewebs.com
So hopefully everything will be ok now i've removed CWS...
