Recently got a new PC which came with Windows XP and Internet Explorer 6 Version 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.030422-1633 installed.
Internet Explorer displays all web pages with a totally white background and erratic font sizes - generally larger than they should be, sometimes very much larger. E.g., Windows Update comes out in a reasonable size, but MS Office Update comes out with huge letters of about 100 pt, which makes it virtually impossible to do anything on that page.
My computer supplier says he was asked about the same problem by someone else a few months ago and found a solution to it, but he now can't remember what it was, except that it only involved checking or unchecking a box somewhere. I have tried the Advanced tab in Internet Options in Default mode, with all boxes checked and with all boxes unchecked, but to no avail.
I am now using Mozilla as a browser and I am quite happy with that, but I still need Internet Explorer occasionally for updates.
Any ideas, anyone?

Jump to PostClick the Tools menu in Internet Explorer and then to Internet Options. Under the General tab, click the Accessibility button near the bottom right. Uncheck everything and hit OK.
Jump to PostGo here and reinstall IE6-SP1 it will replace it see if that works shouldn't take too long.
Jump to PostDid someone say reformat in the background? Just kidding do a windows update run a virus scan and download AdAware & Spybot and see if any of that clears it up. BTW don't forget to update everything before running it.
