Go into your internet options and click on fonts. You should be able to resize the font there.

I tried Internet 7 and hated it. Went back to 6. I had too many problems with it.

I've been using it since it came out, never had a problem. I really enjoy IE7 over all the other browsers on the market with the exception of the entire JAVA problem. If MS never messed that up then the chat room would probably still be full of people.

I have seen problems with Quickbooks, HP director, and Other software because of installing IE7..

I even had to reformat a customer PC because we tried uninstalling IE7 and the PC puked its guts after that.

If you like IE7 wait for Vista...

They changed alot of things and there will probably be many bugs for a while.

Great for business though... Thanks Bill

I also had issues with HP director plus only able to view FTE in HTML as something attacked my home page (which FTE is)
Java problems etc

The main thing to avoid is the Special Tool bars.Like the Google Tool Bar.
NOTE: Don't download that
