    When I recently upgraded from Win98se to XP, I noticed that the font on my main page defaults to medium. I like the one smaller but when I go offline and try again later, it's back to medium text. I searched in Help but found no solution. What gives?

    What do you mean by main page? Do you mean the windows desktop?

    Yahoo is my screen page. I have a personalized page that comes up when I'm first online. That's the page that won't let me set default to font size. I click view and it gives me five choices. Whatever I choose should stick but when I go offline and get back on next time, font is large again. This has only happened since the upgrade to XP.

    Did you upgrade or do a clean install? If you upgraded you brought over all the Win98 bugs with it, plus having to migrate the registry over as well I am sure did not go flawlessy and this could be the source of your problem. You would be better suited to wiping your HDD clean and doing a fresh install,

    I agree with the magicman. Best thing to do is a clean installation. You don't want to bring in the problems of an upgrade with the new XP installation. It kind of defeats the purpose.
