    From Edit> Preferences > Interface

    but it depends on your version.

    You updated your computer and monitor but forgot to update your software. An unbalanced system like this is always trouble. Photoshop is now subscription only, from $10 per month (annual commitment).

    Hi

    If you have Windows 10 with the latest update you can try this

    Right click on the shortcut and select properties then select the Compatibility tab.

    Select this option and then System from the drop down menu, restart PS

    THANK YOU! THAT WORKED! That did the trick. People keep telling me in responses that I need to upgrade to the version you have to pay monthly for the software and I can't afford that. I bought the software a few years ago and do not want to upgrade to the monthly software and should not be forced into it. Or I get a response that Windows 10 is not compatible with CS6 but it was and still is. Thanks for everyone's quick responses.

    No worries glad I could help

    CS4 and CS5 still work with Windows 10 so I'd imagine you'll be OK for a few years to come with CS6

    The same thing for me with Dreamweaver, Illustrator, Fireworks or Photoshop menus. It was fine one day and the next the text was TINY. I got into task manager and disabled anything Adobe in the Start tab, restarted and that worked...for a few days then it went back to TINY. HELP! (CS6)

    This was an issue in versions of Photoshop prior to Photoshop CC 2015. Which version are you using?
