I have just bought a new computer, with WIndows XP installed. My problem is that in virtually all of my applications, the text is too small for me to read easily. I can't seem to find a setting or default adjustment that would make the text MUCH LARGER, or a window resizing adjustment that would display less total page, resulting in the remaining text being MUCH LARGER. In Internet Explorer, I set the Text Size setting in the View drop down menu to the maximum setting, but that only provided marginal improvement, and didn't change anything on some webpages. Many webpages (that I had no problem with before), remain microscopic. And that still doesn't help me in my non-intenet applications. I can't even read my Quicken registers, they are so small. This was not an issue with my old rig, running Windows 98. I'm sure it's something simple that I'm not seeing. Please HELP! BSD  [Link] |

But this should help immediately. Perhaps you have a too high resolution chosen... Em Edited by - em on 8/9/2004 2:45:30 PM  [Link] |

Assuming you have a mouse with a scroll wheel, hold down the Ctrl key on the keyboard and try scrolling with the wheel. I know that will change the text size here at ADT, but I'm not sure where else it will work. DenverDon [Link] |
