My box is still checked & I did the font thing before I came here.

The annoying part is I've had to do this at least twice, but as a girl who has been hit in the head with a van with a family in it, I can't remember wtf fixed it.

Ugh.

Thanks though Bam.

Can you post a screenshot of this page: chrome://flags/
Also how about about:stats


You may also want to check under Web Content under Advanced Settings (click on the menu button [three lines] and then settings, then click the Show Advanced Settings button).

Is the about:stats supposed to be a blank white page with nothing on it?

I checked the web content thing, that ties into Bam's suggested and was done before I asked here.

It might be easier for you to just uninstall chrome and then reinstall it. If you have it tied to your gmail account it should re-sync all your favorites and such.

I have it tied to my yahoo, but no way am I doing that.

With each and every install of Chrome I have had this problem in the reverse where everything was smaller. At least with it bigger I will have an easier time digging through google for that one post on some forum that has the correct answer.

Thanks though MGH!

Does Ctrl-(-) (ctrl and minus) change this at all?

You could try letting Chrome create a new profile for you (unless you did that already).

Exit Google Chrome completely.
Enter the keyboard shortcut Windows key +E to open Windows Explorer.
In the Windows Explorer window that appears enter the following in the address bar.
Windows XP: %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\
Windows Vista/ Windows 7/ Windows 8: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\
Locate the folder called "Default" in the directory window that opens and rename it as "Backup default."
Try opening Google Chrome again. A new "Default" folder is automatically created as you start using the browser.
