Screen scaling/Accessibility.

That may well be it as it was not universal and did not effect Zeus Editors 
text size but does effect all menus. Also I think the menu item font maybe 
diferent.

odd...I'll go to my vista machine and check out ps2pdf.com.

Was that okay ?

Did this happen upon a reboot, or did it just do this today?

I was hoping that someone would know how the hack was done.

It was via IE7, I was not using any odd sites, only ps2pdf.com google 
and
academic sites.

It must have altered the registery, "permanently" altering the screen
scaling.

Anyone who can give me a tip on readjusting the screen scaling gets 
cookie
points, as this would be very useful for a sight impaired friend of 
mine.

Hope this is is not excess traffic.
