Windows Vista: web pages all messy
web pages all messy
by jason1214 - 3/7/07 9:46 PMSince getting Dell/Vista/Ultimate/IE 7.0. web pages are messed up...not all, but many.
e.g., Words written on top of each other and out of the margins. Words with the bottom cut off.
Also, can't click on numerous hyper-links for some reason.
Have you tried another browser?

It could be a number of things, but the first thing I would try is using a different browser, such as Firefox, to see if it is an IE-only problem. (There remains compatibility issues between a few websites and IE7.) Aside from that, was this an upgrade to Vista or a new computer with it preinstalled, and what are the system's specs?

No I havent tried using another browser....when I cant click on a hyper link, I then usually right click and choose open and this always works.
This was a new computer out of the box with Vista Ultimate installed....as well as IE 7.0.
What is you DPI set at?
by BrodieB - 3/15/07 6:30 AM In reply to: web pages all messy by jason1214I have this problem also - but have found that it is because my font is set to 12 DPI so the other text is easier to read (I can live with that - you might not want to). If you set it to 9 DPI it should fix the website problems. You can change it in the control panel - it is one on the side options. Hope this helps you out!
