A few days ago my msn log viewer started doing this and the text has gone all tiny, ive tried loads of keys and it just wont 'unzoom' and go back to normal text size..

Looks like you've pressed Ctrl+Minus (zoom in) a bit too much.

Try Ctrl+Plus. It's the hot key for "zoom out" in Internet Explorer, which is embedded in the Log Viewer to display the logs. So basically, if the hot key works in Internet Explorer, it'll also work in Log Viewer.

EDIT: Hmm... seems like that isn't working properly here...

EDIT2: Okay, here's what you REALLY should do assuming you're running Internet Explorer 7 or later:

1. Open Internet Explorer.
   
2. Set the page zooming to 100% (bottom right corner).
   
3. Press Ctrl+0 (zero). This will reset the text size.
   
4. Close Internet Explorer.
   
5. Open Log Viewer and see if it worked.

Thanks for the help but everything on on IE is set at 100% i have the latest version, yet the text is still uber small, maybe its something to do with the log viewer .exe?

You have to set the Text Size of Internet Explorer as Medium. If it is set like that already, change it to Very Large for instance once, then set it to Medium again. You may need to close and reopen Internet Explorer after each step. After you successfully set it to Medium, reopen Log Viewer.

If only you searhced this forum before. This problem is posted and answered many times.
