131623 2003-03-28 07:13:00 Hi there,

How does one go about making everything on one's screen appear bigger? Like, say I open Word, or Outlook or Internet Explorer, and want the icons and fonts to appear larger. I cannot seem to find the settings for this! Also the Xtra homepage only occupies about 3/4ths of my browser page..........why?

I use Windows XP on a P4 machine.............

Thanks

Right click your desktop & select properties > Settings & knock your resolution down a notch, keep doing this till you get the size you want.
If you also select the advanced tab you can set the dpi to large or select custom & set it to what is comfortable for you.

Hold down Ctrl and then scroll the mouse wheel up or down.
