Hello,

I just reinstalled my display drivers and now all my on screen font is messed up. The font in the windows of every program has gotten bigger (iTunes, address bar, etc.) and has changed. Can someone please tell me how to change it back to normal? Thanks.

I don't know what the default size is, and that doesn't apply to all the programs and the taskbar.

Never mind. Got the size, but what's the default XP font?

Try this. Hold ctrl and roll your scroll mouse down.

Oh, so many questions spring from this seemingly simple problem...

What font and size was it set to before?
Was it on the default settings and now isn't or has it now reverted to default?
Do you have a 'theme manager' installed?

Is the display in the same resolution as it was before?

Vista or XP?

Aero/Normal/Legacy style?

DPI setting perhaps?

Display Properties > Settings > Advanced > right there.

Normal (96 DPI).

I'm running XP. I was running all default settings (save changing the color of the taskbar). As stated, I reinstalled drivers and it changed it. I'd like to revert to all default settings (if at all possible).

Start->Control Panel->Display->Themes->Theme: WindowsXP.
OK.

Sorted?

Probably a smaller resolution. That's what happens when you install video card drivers, it often reverts to a smaller default resolution. Go to display properties and check it out.

Also check the DPI like Cheez said.

You have no idea how many people accidentally do this at my job.
