..that Internet explorer is convinced that it is a good idea to constantly change my text size? It really gets on my nerves!

Not to blame your hardware, but if you're using an optical mouse with a wheel then this behaviour *might* be an indication that your mouse is failing.

Are you saying that you it is resetting the font size? Or are you saying that it is randomly choosing a new size each time you launch IE?

the latter, it happens everynow and then. Not each and every sorry.

Are you using the same ISP each time connect, and also, Is this after you restart your machine? I know sometimes, when I restart my machine, my IE settings are abit different.

For example, If I use my actual task bar for Earthlink, then I have all my Favorites, Cookies etc. But when I just click on the IE button to sign on, I have different settings.
