problems with IE8

this new internet explorer won't let me see anything in a dynamic text boxes,
even on this website the text is so small as i'm witing i might as well, be
writing with my eyes closed, and certain other websites won't let me even
sign in to them, such as gamespot.com. how can fix this in addition tion to
buttons being deformed and unreadable also, such as the "post" button on this
very page and the "reply" or "send buttons on myspace". I even had to write
this in notepad then copy and paste,because the text looks like dots.

Hi Walker,

Small fonts (in text boxes and buttons) can be caused by

- A User Stylesheet (Tools>Internet Options - General tab, Accessibility
button).
- Choice of a small font for IE's default font family - General tab, Fonts
button. Choose a different font family that has a larger size (default New
Times Roman).
- Third-party desktop themes - Tools>Internet Options - Advanced tab,
uncheck "Enable visual st yles on buttons and controls in webpages"
or
- A Desktop theme or third-party desktop theme software.... we have had the
same issue occurring with Startdoc's Windows Blinds (check for a software
update from Stardoc and then choose a different theme to correct it, check
theme settings to ignore font sizes specified by themes, or Alienware
computers (Uninstall the AlienGUIse software)
