ie and office dont show the text as it should

I have F.siemens laptop with Xp pro, P4, 1056 Ram and 32Mb videoram. I can
not use ie because the xga screen shows BIG text and it seems to me that it
has a strange formating. When I use Opera it works fine. I have tried many
things: reinstalled drivers, done everything whith settings in ie and change
the properties in settings in xp. I have the same problems with outlook. It
is nearly impossible for me to uppgrade office because this service is only
supported by the ie browser. I hope there is someone out there that can help
me.

This happens sometimes when you have accessibility options activated, for example
Magnifier.
Open Internet Explorer and go to the Tools menu, then choose Internet Options.
Click the Accessibility button.

There are two entries:
"Ignore font style on web pages" and
"Ignore font size on web pages".
Try changing these settings (put a check there if there isn't one now, or remove the
check if there is one).
Try the site again.

or


Huge fonts on certain web pages :-

Control Panel/Accessibility/Display/
Ensure box is not check - then click "Advanced"
Ensure shortcut box is not clicked AND
where it reads" Your current high contrast scheme is:"
Make sure there is nothing in there that starts with "high contrast" or suggests a
large font size"



If that doesn't help, you may need to post to the IE Newsgroup
Internet Explorer
