Resolution and text size

WHA

When I select a larger text size in Int Explorer (i.e. view ... text size .... larger/largest), the screen tends to go funny and I sometimes lose input boxes. Some websites work OK others don't.

Is this a problem with my resolution setting (currently 1280 x 1024) on a 17" flat screen? This is the only screen resolution setting that gives a decent sharp image and sensible size for icons etc. The others make the text go fuzzy or seem to lose the proportions - i.e. things get elongated or shrink out of proportion. (I have checked that I have the right and latest version of the screen driver).

The only way I can use some websites is to change text size down to small or smallest but then the text is almost too small to read.

Is there anything I can do to change my settings to make the websites more accessible?

The View, Text Size option does not work on all websites i.e. this website. You haven't said what operating system you are using but you may be able to use the Magnifier. Programs, Accessories, Accessibility, Magnifier.

Try increasing the font size on your screen resolution settings instead

Unfortunately that only affects the fonts used by Windows and the font size of certain websites is determined by the HTML coding.
