Don't know how it happened, but when I logged into my computer today it started to down load windows 8.1. My computer is windows 8.It told me not to turn off the computer while download was in progress. So I waited.Then when I logged into my Yahoo.com e-mail the print was so small I can't read it very good.even here on this site the print is real small. I can change the fonts on my out going e-mail and make it larger but not on the in coming e-mail or the other sites. I have tried every thing I know to change the size of the fonts but no luck. Help??? Please.

Never could understand why someone would ask a computer question on an RV forum when there are Microsoft forums that would have a much wider audience.

Because this is the Technology corner. I have seen computer questions on here before. Sorry if I offended you, I have always found the best way to find out some thing is to spread the question around. If you don't like the question , don't read it.

Because people are always way to snarky and you get 100 different answers and 99 are usually wrong.This is probably your best bet to change font size:http://www.askvg.com/how-to-access-advanced-appearance-settings-option-to-change-text-size-in-windows-8/

Are you using a mouse? Have you tried holding down the ctrl key while scrolling the mouse wheel? This isn't permanent but if it works on your machine, it will allow you to read the text.

What browser are you using? Have you tried holding down Ctrl and rolling the mouse roller wheel?

You can use the Ctrl key with the + and - keys to enlarge/shrink the text in your browser.

To set the text to the "default" size, press Ctrl-0 (zero).

Because in a Microsoft Forum you have to wade through/past a whole bunch of technobabble from guys you just KNOW are wearing pocket protectors, thick glasses, and unwashed short sleeved shirts.

Whereas here ya get a simple answer like the following posted only a few minutes into the thread! How beautiful is this:

Dunno if that wholly answers the O.P.'s question, but it sure did the trick for me- thanks, Strollin'!

That only means that there are many things in life you do not understand. Do you believe that RVers don't use computers or have ever dealt with computer issues?
Look around, there are some amazingly well informed computer folks on these forums.
