Not to blame your hardware, but if you're using an optical mouse with a wheel then this behaviour *might* be an indication that your mouse is failing.

Are you saying that you it is resetting the font size? Or are you saying that it is randomly choosing a new size each time you launch IE?

Are you using the same ISP each time connect, and also, Is this after you restart your machine? I know sometimes, when I restart my machine, my IE settings are abit different.

For example, If I use my actual task bar for Earthlink, then I have all my Favorites, Cookies etc. But when I just click on the IE button to sign on, I have different settings.
