the additional theming software.

I had the same problem. Try this link...'Fix Tiny Forms in IE8 | eJabs'
(http://www.ejabs.com/2009/03/fix-tiny-forms-in-ie8/)

or just uncheck *“Enable visual styles on buttons and controls in
webpages*“ in the advanced internet options.

I have the same problem. I have two unsigned msstyles installed: Thallos
and Zune Final (a Zune theme that's actually complete). Are you using a
custom msstyles or WindowBlinds?

It's really easy...
GO TO

-"*TOOLS*"
-"*INTERNET OPTIONS*"
-"*ADVANCED*" TAB
-UNDER "*BROWSING*" OPTIONS UNCHECK *“Enable visual styles on buttons
and controls in webpages*“

This is a common problem with IE8 32-bit edition. whats funny is nobody
knows why it happens.
You can put a band-aid on it so you can see your text boxes and buttuns
again. Just follow these steps:

1.open up notepad and copy the following line and paste it into your
notepad.....

button, input {font-size:14px !important;}

2.save this into your documents(or where ever you like), Dont just
click File>Save!! Click File>SAVEAS!!
then at the bottom of the dialog box look for "Save as Type:" and
select "All Files (*.*)" then in the
File Name field choose a name for this file (any name will do), just
make sure that at the end of the name you type
css! this is very important. For example-- TheNameOfMyFile.css
then save it for now

3. Open Your internet explorer

4. In your menu bar choose Tools (If you do not see somthing that says
tools at the top, then right-click
the top area of your browser; under the address field; and in the
pop-up menu select "Menu Bar")

5. Under Tools select Internet Options

6. a dialog box will apear look for a button towards the botton that
says "Accesibility", Click this.
(If you dont see "Accesibility", then make sure the General Tab is
selected at the top)

7. Now another little window pops up; look for the check box that says
"Format Documents using my own style sheet".
Select this box.

8.click on the browse button and select the folder that you made with
note pad.
Thats it. once you select OK the textboxes and buttons shound be bigger
for you.
Hope this helps you out

The cause for this problem is well known. Your statement of "nobody knows
why it happens" is quite wrong. This has been discussed and resolved many
times in this newsgroup and other places on the internet. Rather than
repeat what has already been posted numerous times, please see
