    you might want to look at your text size
    ie6 and firefox Viex - Text Size
  • Try

    Internet Explorer menu:

    View -> Text size -> Largest

    However, some websites use code to override this... email them and complain about their lack of access ability!

    Fantastic that's solved the problem.

    Does that mean someone has changed the settings of the pc?

    btw, you can do it more than once to make it bigger.

    press controll and then - (button to the left) tiwce, to make the text smaller again :)

    If this happens for everything, not just Internet, then it could also be that your screen resolution has been upped. Check - it's a little counter intuitive, but a screen set to, say, 800x600 will appear a lot bigger than one at 1024x768 for example.

    Right click a blank area of the desktop, then left-click properties, on the settings tab, there's a slider on the lower left hand side to adjust the screen resolution.
