Default font size in form boxes/fields

Hi there..I just upgraded to a new computer with Vista , IE 7 etc..and I ran
across a small problem..and I can't seem to find anything in the "Help" on IE
or Vista , so I was wondering if an expert could give me some insight to a
solution...
** How do I fix the font size in "boxes" on web pages..
for example the 2 boxes on Google page ..."Google Search" .. "I'm Feeling
Lucky" and other small "boxes", like the boxes when you fill in a form
online...also...the box where you enter text in the search area
When I first started to use IE7 it was fine..then somewhere along the line
the size
went really small..
Thank you for your help , Al
PS even the boxes on the next page..where it is asking for contact
information...Al
Also ..this does not happen with Firefox!!!

In Internet Explorer, View menu Text size.

Try updating your fonts or repairing them. I had this problem, and noticed a
lot of my arial fronts were missing, so I replaced them and then the problem
went away.

Hope this helps.

Right click an empty area of your desktop. In the popup menu select
Personalize Windows Color and Appearance Open classic appearance
properties for more color options Advanced... under Item: select
Message Box Change font and or size. In the drop down menu look for other
font sizes you can change.
