how do i resize text/web page to fit in my window?
it's all going wrong today, turn on the computer and things have gone **** up overnight
everythings gone big and a web page doesn't fit in the window, i have to scroll along to view the whole thing.
how do i get it to fit? tried downsizing the text but that didn't work.
the axe is out and the clocks ticking.

Click the 'View' pull down 3rd from right on the top of Internet explorer. Then select 'Text Size' and then choosing Medium.
Either that or try changing the Desktop size by right clicking on the Windows desktop selecting 'Properties' and then settings. You may be in 640x480 mode. Try either 800x600 or even 1024x768.

it just looks about 50% to big for the window, right now if i scroll up i can only see 'pri' of the private maessage text.
all the icons have gone mis-shapened aswell?
seems that all the settings have been altered as nothing looks the same as when i turned off. my picture on the desktop was all blotchy looking and i had to alter the colours in settings to make it clear. now it looks ok, just way too big.
if someone has the time could they send me the setting/figures and fonts of the options in 'display properties' 'appearance' for windows 98, as i've been ******* around with these for an hour now so i can actually read things, but i'm nowhere near what it was before.
did i mention i ******* hate computers?

Also try downloading and installing a newer Graphics card driver.
If it's an nvidia:

If it's an ATI:
