font size in form boxes/fields

Hi there..I just upgraded to a new computer with Vista , IE 7 etc..and I ran
across a small problem..and I can't seem to find anything in the "Help" on IE
or Vista , so I was wondering if an expert could give me some insight to a
solution...
** How do I fix the font size in "boxes" on web pages..
for example the 2 boxes on Google page ..."Google Search" .. "I'm Feeling
Lucky" and other small "boxes", like the boxes when you fill in a form
online...also...the box where you enter text in the search area
When I first started to use IE7 it was fine..then somewhere along the line
the size
went really small..
Thank you for your help , Al
PS even the boxes on the next page..where it is asking for contact
information...Al
Also ..this does not happen with Firefox!!!

Try updating your fonts or repairing them. I had this problem, and noticed a
lot of my arial fronts were missing, so I replaced them and then the problem
went away.

Hope this helps.

Right click an empty area of your desktop. In the popup menu select >
Personalize > Windows Color and Appearance > Open classic appearance
properties for more color options > Advanced... > under Item: select >
Message Box > Change font and or size. In the drop down menu look for other
font sizes you can change.
