If you're talking about your desktop, right click on the desktop, choose Properties and then go to the Appearance tab.  You can change the font size to large, etc.  You can also change the icon spacing (i.e. if you make the font big, they might run together).  For best results, make sure that you have your monitor set to a decent resolution.  For a 17" monitor or so, 1024x768 is good ... it's readable.  Newer monitors and video cards will support much higher resolution ... mostly intended for larger (say 22") monitors.\n\nI hope this helps.\n\nRegards, Alan

If running XP just hold the control key down and scroll your mouse wheel to make larger or smaller.\n\nOr you can click on "View" at top of screen and from the drop down put your cursor over "Text Size" and then select "Medium" as that is where most are set.

Unfortunately your text cannot be enlarged. Only the text on the pages can be. Its not like msn where you can change your text size and style.

Hmmmm, very strange.  Anyway, the only way I can think of to change the size of the Start button is via Control Panel>Display>Appearance>Font Size. Then, reduce the font size.  Now, you can move this window higher up on your screen by clicking on the blue strip next to where it says "Display Properties" and drag the whole window higher up the screen so you can access the Apply button.\n\nYou can also access the Display Properties window by right-clicking on an empty area of your desktop, click Properties, click on Appearance tab, change the Font size, then click Apply.

I have encountered this problem a couple times. If you have an explorer mouse(one with a scroll wheel on it) if you hold down the control(ctrl) key and scroll the wheel up and down it'll change the size of the font on the page. Crtl + up with the wheel will make the text larger and Ctrl + down with the wheel will make the text smaller. You can also use the view >text size option as well.

Your screen resolution may be too big.  Here's how to reduce it.\n\nRight-click anywhere on your desktop, then choose Properties.  Click the Settings tab.  Look at the setting for Screen Resolution.  It's probably at 640 X 480, or 800 X 600.  Move the slider to the right to choose a higher resolution (it makes everything smaller).  Click OK, and any confirmation screen OK.  If you like it, just click the confirmation OK in time and you're set.  If you don't, click Cancel and start over.

Go to view, on top of your explorer bar, then text size. You can adjust it from there.

Seems like you have either a problem with your resolution and font size to be used on screen. Right click on the desktop and goto display properties. In there you can make the necessary changes.

Seems obvious but have you tried to change the resolution? Sounds like you are running very high res, like 1600x1024. Check your setting for this if you haven't already. Right-click desktop and choose Properties from the menu, then go to the Settings tab, from there you can change the resolution. I would try 1152x864 see it your monitor will display this cleanly.\n\nAlso you can change the DPI setting to 120% of normal to increase font size. \n\nWhen you right-click the desktop and go to properties, under the setting tab you can choose the Advanced button and then go to General tab there you will see the DPI setting. Try changing it to 120% see if that is easier to see the fonts. If not you can go back into that setting and choose Custom and set it higher.
