even with the modem you should have a router.... It makes your connection more secure.

I did not know that. I'll make sure to have one for the next set up.

some modems have a router built in to them like my DSL. Modem wired and wireless router all in one.

Mine is just a regular modem...I'll be getting a better one when I upgrade my equipment.

What the heck has happened to all the fonts in all the forums and emails? They are all really really small.

I went into the control panel to find the font size, but changing the font size only changed the text size on things on my desktop....

I looked through some help files, but did not find what I needed to know.
Any clue?

I will take one guess.... (and only 1 guess (snicker))
some browsers have an adjustable Viewing size or overall size --- depends if you using (and what version) firefox, opera, safari, explorer, chrome.... for example on my version of Firefox a "View" menu setting with "Zoom In" and "Zoom Out" or CTRL-plus or CTRL-minus key does the zooming.

You may have pressed it inadvertently while typing capitals or something...

Thank you. You are my hero of the day.

No worries bluesy. Sometimes the one guess is right.. many years playing and fixing systems. lucky it didnt take two guesses because the guessing becomes futile very quickly then it's easier to just say "call tech support", "reinstall" or "kick it"... each with a very similar success rate. (snicker)

funny how this post relates to one i just made .... just a little whiff of he'ping people out... hmmm... wierd.

Web browsers....Is Google Chrome a good browser or is it a form of spy ware?

What browser do you guys have?

I'm currently using IE. It works ok.
