    You could change the resolution of you monitor so everything is larger.

    Right click the desktop, choose Properties, and in the Settings Tab, reduce the resolution.

    Or change some of the settings (including font size) on the Appearance tab.

    try pushing and holding the CTRL key while scrolling your mouse wheel
    Copy from one, it’s plagiarism; copy from two, it’s research.

    As Isofa has said, go to control panel - display - appearance - font size to change the font on the active window (changes file, edit, view and all of that.) Have a play with some of the other settings too, changing the theme also can change font and other ways the page is displayed.

    Should have gone to specsavers....:cool:
    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

    DControl Panel > Display > Settings > Advanced then change DPI setting from 96 to 120 and reboot, see what you think. It can have an adverse effect on some web pages though.

    Check access and mobility options - I know there are some options for the visually impaired that can make the icons, toolbars really big or really small, but not effect the resoltuion of the main graphics card.

    You kight of accidentically hit a hot jey for it.
