Recently my web pages began to display weirdly. My my space pages have no
background images on my computer but others can see them, thats just an
example because I know what should be there. Other web pages are missing
backgrouns and the type font is HUMONGOUS!. There appears to be type over
other type, like maybe certain sections are overlapping others. Aol sites
show up with HUGE print and I cant zoom them back at all. Both IE and firefox
are doing this also. I have no idea what could have caused this and I had HP
on the phone for two hours. Their suggestion was a total recovery which would
require a ton of work....can you suggest anything I can check? Thanks, Brian

Go through these cleaning steps:
1... Click start >> Control Panel >> Double Click Network and Internet
Connections >> Double click Internet Options, on the IE Properties window
you will see these Options:
General | Security | Privacy | Content | Connections | Programs

| Advanced .

Click on General Tab (1st Tab on the left) and you will see a Button called
[ Clear History ..] click on it to clear your History caches, then click on
[Delete Files..] to delete Internet Files created over the time, click on [
Delete Cookies...] to delete your cookies left by visiting websites.
Then click on Advanced tab and scroll down to under the Browsing Option:
[&] Browsing
[ ] Enable Third-Party browser extensions (Req Rest) uncheck this box.

= Then try to Disable the Add-Ons on your Browser somehow installed on your
browser, On how to disable the Add-ons follow this:
Click on Programs Tab and then click the Manage Add-Ons Button there Disable
the None/Not Verified Plug-ins/Add-ons ( you need to Renable them one-by-one
later and see which is the culprit .

After doing all this, nothing has changed. Anything else?

Try System Restore to when things were working okay?.

What about your Display settings on the Graphic cards, by right click on
Desktop, select properties then on Display Properties click on settings and
see what the resolutions set to!.

Nass' information is great advice. I had that problem once myself and
it happened with any browser I tried to use, meaining IMO it was a
system problem, not a browser or site issue.

In my case I finally got disgusted and took the quicker route of a
reinstall, but I'd appreciate it if you come back and give us your final
fix that works, whatever it is.
