you guys really think its the boldness of my txt? it hasent effected anything else ever. it doesnt carry on to programs it just makes it so i can see better on the top. (i actually forget how i made it that big). ill try messing with it but it really DOES NOT affect programs in any way. the txt on all my programs stays the same as it would on my other computer. and btw im running XP same as my previous computer in which it worked on.
