Text dialog boxes

My text dialog boxes are too small to see or read when I enter text in them.
How do I remedy that?

Hi,
Which version of Windows? (Including SP level- SP1, SP2, etc.)

Which version of Internet Explorer?

Was a third-party program (security, appearance tweaking, visual themes,
etc) installed or updated just before the problem began?

Windows Blinds installed?

uncheck "Enable visual styles on buttons and controls in webpages" on the
Advanced tab of Internet Options"
or
choose the Vista Aero Desktop theme.

Regards.

Hi,

np. The symptoms are easily identified....

Vista/IE8 - Small search box and buttons on the results pages of either
Google or Yahoo when IE8 is installed
= Startdoc's Windows Blinds issue.

Not sure who's to blame, Startdoc, Google or Yahoo. You pay for your Windows
Blinds license - it is up to them to ensure compatibility. They may have an
update for IE8 by now. They may have got the hint from the chatter in the
newsgroups.

Regards.
