My hubby is trying to fix my computer. We had it partially repaired and he is installing more software etc. Our problem is the font on EVERYTHING is way too small. How to we "fix" this?

Where are the fonts smaller?

The desktop icons, explorer, etc..

You can right click on desktop and choose properties and then go to the appearance tab and at bottom, you will see Font Size, try changing those to see if that is it

Click on View in the menu bar and then go to Text Size and choose 1 size larger

Hi All,
I tried the properties/appearance tab.
EXTRA Large made it readable, but too large.

I think there's something else not quite right.

I can go to view/zoom and make it larger, but it's a pain in the...

Do you have any other ideas?

When IE is open, click on View (Next to File and Edit)

-go to Text Size and choose 1 size larger

I was able to make it larger on IE
... but I use Firefox and can only seem to ZOOM for every page I view. Is there a more 'permanent' fix?

Tools, options, the content tab (3rd one)
-under Fonts and Colors, change icon size smaller # or larger # to decrease or increase font size

Thanks that helped a lot...

... however I'm still having to change each page as I surf the net?
