Hello out there!

Boy am I glad I found you. About eight weeks ago my computer screen suddenly had LARGE font size writing while on forums/ebay etc. It looks like the whole page dosn't fit on the screen anyhmore ... also when I try to go into my profile on the only forum I inhabit it won't let me access my profile change.

Can anyone hlep me? Thank you so much ...

Hello robsessed...

You don't mention what browser you use, but try this:

In Firefox. Click "View" on the toolbar and point to "Text Size"...select "Normal" or "Decrease".

In IE. Click "View" on the toolbar and point to "Text Size"...select "Medium" or "Smaller".

Does this help?

:whistling: :blink: :help:

thank you for replying wanabe1!! Your information did in fact improve the size of my text ... however I still can't access my profile on the forum ... it says there is a java script void?

I am using Internet explorer.

Thank you

it says there is a java script void

Is this the exact error message?

Open Control Panel and double click on the "Java" icon. Under the "Update" tab, click "Update Now"

Reboot and try accessing your profile...If you still get an error message, post the exact wording here for me.

:whistling: I really can't get over the fact that a complete stranger is willing to help me ... THANK YOU.

Um, there was no Java in Control Panel? Could that, perhaps, be the problem?

Very well could be!

Go HERE and download JDK 5.0 Update 6. Install it, reboot, and try logging in to your profile.

What browser are you using...I have,so far, been unable to duplicate the error you are getting in either Firefox or IE7.

Open Control Panel and double click on "Internet Options". Under the "Security" tab, make sure the the Securitty Level is set to "Medium-High"...click on the "Custom Level" button. Check your settings (in each zone) against This List.

Then click on the "Custom Level" button for each zone (except Local Intranet). Check the settings against the list.

I'm sorry :whistling:

I don't have that white box??

In Control Panel, I click on Internet Options, choose the PRIVACY tab, changed the slider to medium high, but the only other options in this box are:

Import, Advanced, Default
