    I recently had to re-install WinXP due to a HDD failure. After installing all the software applications, some of the pop-ups now display with a larger font than previously. I am assuming that the pop-up is of a fixed size because some of the control boxes are not visible within the box. Only non-Windows apps appear to be affected.

    I tried changing attributes in the following, to no avail :
    START > SETTINGS > CONTROL PANEL > DISPLAY > APPEARANCE > ADVANCED

    I have a screen print, but I can't upload an attachment:confused:

    To upload attachments you must be a Contributing Member - preferred :)

    Workaround - post on Photobucket or similar and post the URL here.

    Sorry, that didn't help...

    ... > Display > Appearance > Lower Left > Fonts > "Normal" didn't help. I am, of course, assuming that "Normal" is smaller than "Large" and "Largest "

    Look for the option to adjust DPI.
