    Hi

    Font size has gone to miniscule in Outlook express making it unable to be read. Font size says Tahoma 10, which it clearly isn't. Went through settings and unable to apply any changes, yet the font size within settings is fine. Word, excel etc., is all ok.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks for that but have tried all that but not the problem. How do you zoom in and out?

    Ctrl plus the + key. Or ctrl + mouse wheel up/down.

    Ctrl + 0 reverts to original size.
