My almost 2 yo got on the computer when I wasnt looking and it was in some kind of set up mode. I exited it and restarted the comp, and now all of the font on everything, including web pages, toolbars, and desktop icons, is really small and condensed and hard to read! Does anyone know how to fix this?! Help please! I do work on the comp and I can hardly do it now bc I can't read anything!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hold shift and scroll up on your mouse wheel

That just kinda zoomed in my IE screen. It's the font size and style on everything, including web pages, desktop, everything on my computer has this weird font now.

you can try going to the bottom right corner of your computer and make sure the % is at 100%(if its there of course) mine did this to me but instead of small it got really big lol

It's not the screen size, it's only the font, and its not just on my internet windows, it's like some kind of default setting on my comp. The font style & size on everything was somehow set to something different. The font is calibri or something like that so it's super condensed and small.

Yes, its at 100%. It's not the screen size

 Is it IE? If it is, up in the right hand corner, in the PAGE menu you can click on text size and change it.
