Any luck?
Incredible. I only posted the question 5 minutes ago and now a reply. Incredible! You may well be right when you suggest accessibility. I did make some changes because of poor eyesight (as suggested on the BBC website), but is there an easy way to undo them, ie revert to default? I will follow up your Accessibility link. I used AVG and ZoneAlarm for many years, but recently changed to Avasti (still with ZoneAlarm) because AVG seemed to be causing computer lock-ups.
Thank you for taking the trouble to reply to my question.
If you checked the box to override the web site's colors and styles, that could be the problem. A better approach is to use Firefox's zoom feature. You can zoom up the page to have larger text and images, and this will be remembered on a site-by-site basis. To set the baseline to a higher zoom level for all sites, you can use one of these add-ons:
I haven't tried them, but see them recommended frequently. Good luck!
Thanks once again. I normally only use Firefox, so any alterations to Firefox (which I can't recall making) wouldn't be an explanation, since Internet Explorer (not normally used) has the same fault. Thanks again.

Thank you for all your suggestions. The problem is now solved (after 4 months of frustration). I'm using XP. Control Panel / Accessibility Options / Display / Untick High Contrast. Your early suggestion of an Accessibility problem was spot on. Thanks.
