Can't change text size in ie

I have win 98 and have been using ie6 for several months now without any problems.
I was using ie and the text size changed smaller.
When I go to "View" and the menu drops down, some have arrows that another menus pop out. One is "Text Size." All others with arrows work fine except the text size. No other menu pops out on that one. It used to have "smallest, smaller, X (Can't remember), larger, largest."
I have checked for virus and spyware and it comes up cleen. How can I fix this? Thank you, Chris.

P.S. At about the same time, my delete on the keyboard stoped working.

 

Hello Chris,

Try this:

Double click on IE 6 in the Add/Remove applet. There you will be presented with the choice of doing a repair.

I don't have a choise of "Repair." Funny, it's listed as "internet explorer 818529. "

 

Hi Chris,

You're running 98, IE 6 is an "add on ". There must be an entry that says "IE6 and internet tools ". If you really don't, post back. At that point, the only recourse that I can think of is installing it again so that you will have an Add/Remove entry.

"internet explorer 818529." sounds like a patch to IE6.

It doesn't give me the choise to restore. It just gives me remove. I found out another thing. When I'm at a website and right click a link to choose "open in new window" nothing happends there also.

 

You may of found HOW it happend. When you said "Sounds like a ie patch" reminded me that I updated form windows update site before I had this problem. That may be HOW it happend. Thanks for the reminder.
Found the repair, I was looking right at it when I couldn't find it. It said it could not be repaired. I will try to reinstall it. Thanks for the help. Chris.

 

I went to download ie6 again. It won't download. I guess that's another problem I'm having, can't download anything. Not sure what to do now.

 

Hi Chris,

You can order a IE6.0 disc from MS here http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.asp

Thank you for the link. I don't want to waite 3 weeks. I found out why ie6 won't repair. It says I'm missing CKCNN.EXE, PLUGIN.OCX, SHDOLLC.DLL
I guess I'll have to post again.

 

Hi Chris- You can get to the Internet Explorer Repair Tool another way. Go to Start|Run and type in : msinfo32.exe (without the colon). This will bring up the System Information utility. From the Tools menu, select the Internet Explorer Repair Tool and run it. Good luck! Clydeo22.
