Default Help - Huge Fonts...

My daughter has bought her laptop to me to try and help with the huge fonts on screen she is getting on her Samsung V25, I guess this is something to do with the Graphics card/driver. I have done all the usual things and checked settings in Display, but cant get rid of the big fonts. The graphics card is an Intel(R)82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller.

It's impossible to view some sites as no graphics appear and everything appears large and garbled. Can anyone help please? The OS is XP Home.

It's at normal already... The large fonts are random, huge on some things, slightly smaller on other. Desktop and icons are normal.

Have you checked the accessibility options (via control panel)? You can set the fonts to be large, contrast settings etc...

Your refering to websites so I assume using Internet explorer or similar?
open internet explorer
from menu select View > Text Size > medium

Medium is the normal level!!!
