Why don't Microsoft and other computer companies advertise this feature? It's worked wonders for some of you (but not me ).

Tried it yesterday and it worked for me! I have a Compaq Armada E500 with XL Professional. Clicked 'Display' then 'Appearances' and got 'Fonts'. It was set at 'Normal' but the scroll down menu gave 'Large Text' and 'Extra Large Text' as alternatives. Being a visually challenged 57 year old I went for 'Extra Large' and it's much better. Also straightforward reversal using the scroll. Many thanks!!

Very useful, thanks. When I adopted XP and an LCD screen, I was disappointed with the clarity compared with my previous CRT set-up plus earlier Windows package. This tip has improved matters significantly.

I've got a Dell 9300 laptop. This was a marginal improvement for me, but then the laptop fan just wouldn't shut up! It took some time to make the connection... so it's back to standard for me - anything for a quiet life!

If you go to:-

there is a link to a "monitor calibration program".

Very useful for setting up you monitor if you want it spot on.

is there anything that works with firefox? or should this? i've been using it for a couple of years on my tevion desktop monitor, but putting it on my new dell 630m laptop hasn't worked (am wondering having read the threads if its made it worse!) any suggestions?
