Hi, This might be a compatibility issue with win XP. Right click on the program's exe file and under properties, compatibility, compatibility mode, check the box to the left of Run this program in compatibility mode for and select Win 95 or 98, the OS it was running in before. If this doesn't restore the font size, go back to the Properties and check under Display settings, run in 640 x 480. Hopefully, that will work. Good luck:)
