I have a question somewhat off topic: I use Firefox. In Firefox you can increase or decrease the size of the fonts by holding down the ctrl button and scrolling the mouse.

I recently bought a nice Acer widescreen LCD monitor and have set my resolution to the 1.6:1. It took some time to get the icons and fonts so as I can read them.

Everything gets bigger except the flash screen size. If I am watching Gameday on MLB.com and want to watch a video the screen is minute. Changing the size doesn’t help.

Any ideas?

Ray

If you had a Mac that feature is built into the OS :)

I was excited when I saw that Firefox on the PC had that feature of increasing fonts and picture sizes — but sadly I found that video didn’t change.

What you can do is manually set your video resolution in the Windows control panel to something lower when watching the game?

Hello, Ray!

My 15 inch HP monitor stopped working a few months ago, so I purchased a new 17 inch HP monitor. The font is (was) smaller than I liked, but I didn’t know how to fix the problem.....everything I tried didn’t work.

Just now, after seeing your post, I held down the control button and scrolled down with the mouse, and the fonts became larger!

A big thank-you to you, Ray, from Greg on the coast of Maine.

Are you running XP or Vista? Firefox 2 or 3?
