Computer question
 
Any web page I visit is now showing up in italics. Do you know how I can change the view setting?

Assuming you're using Internet Explorer...

From the Tools menu, select Internet Options.

Click on the Fonts button on the bottom. Language script should be Latin...and on the left select Tahoma, on the right Courier New.

Click OK, then Apply, then OK. Then restart the machine. If it's still doing it, I have more ideas.

I found out later last night that it's now a mute issue. I was trying to help a friend out with his computer, be he got so fed up with other issues he was having that he bought a new one last night.

Thanks for the help.

A Mac won't let you change the default fonts on your web browser??? Doesn't sound like a platform that's very user friendly :p

Huh?? Since when? I am not aware of that... Matter of fact, both Safari and Firefox allow you to change their default font... Not sure about IE since I don't use it. :dunno:

He had many more issues than the one listed. It was a 4 year old Toshiba laptop. 700Mhz PII, 384Mb memory and only a 10Gb HD. He basically outgrew it. I convinced him that it was time to replace it. After all, he only had ~450Mb of free space left on his HD.

Given those specs, probably a good time to upgrade. You should take that old laptop, though, and convert it into a carputer with CarX :thumbup:
