I am having the strangest problem which seems to have started occurring either directly after installing Internet Explorer 8, or soon after installing it. I noticed it when i visited Google to search for something- the text field box (where you enter your search term[s]) was, like, really, really tiny. Really tiny. To the point that you cannot see at all what you are typing into it (you have to click the link below to see what i am talking about- it’s crazy!). In addition to the text field boxes, the accompanying “ENTER”/”APPLY”/”OK”/”GO”/etc buttons are just as itty bitty. At first i thought it was a problem with Google (i know, i know- how could i ever assume that the problem was related to anyone other than Microsoft/ I.E?! haha). But, as it turned out (surprise!) it wasn’t just Google- on every website that has that same text field box, the box (and button) is teeny tiny, itty bitty. And i cannot figure out what the problem is??!!
Yes, i went through all the necessary motions- deleting cookies, temp. Internet files…etc, etc- most importantly, i checked all of my font settings and such- even my system wide settings in addition to my “Internet Options” settings. Everything is fine. I have no style sheets or anything like that. It is really bizarre, and i have been searching & searching & i haven’t yet found anyone else experiencing the same problem(?) Can someone please help me…
