4. Under Fonts and Colors, choose the size of the font. Try starting with 16 or 18.

DISPLAY SETTINGS:
You can change the resolution for the entire display. This makes *everything* bigger, and somewhat defeats the purpose of having a high-def screen. Regardless, it works well for many folks:

1. Rt-click anywhere on the desktop
2. Choose Properties
3. Click on Settings tab
4. Write down the numbers of your resolution settings for
reference (eg "1600x1200 pixels").
5. Move the resolution slidebar to the left
until it reads: 1024x768.
6. Click "yes" to save the changes.
7. Click OK.
