Oooooooh, I can see now!!!
I just learned something on another forum and thought I would pass it along because I know some of you are getting up in years, as am I, and our eyesight is not what it once was.
If you hold down the control key on your keyboard and scroll the wheel on your mouse, you can change the size of the print on your page. I made mine bigger and what a difference!!
Most of you probably already know this, but just in case you didn't.......................

With my newfound knowledge I'm a regular Bill Gates now.
I just thought one of my contemporaries who are sight challenged like me might benefit from this, and I know lots of us are baffled by these darned computers anyway.

Gawsh, Don, you really are a pc newbie?
I have a little button on my mouse and a little slide thingy on my keyboard that does the same thing, without holding any keys down. When my eyes get that bad, I'm going to give up on the computer, and just play with my cars.

Thank you very much! I am getting back to my old monitor on my new Chemwulf system and the default was really small! I have it set now to just use the full width and it is much easier to read!

My new computer has a 22" flat screen monitor.... That and the bigger print is great!!!! Think if this one gets hard to read I'll probably have to get one in braille!!!!!

Don Be careful with you new power, this thread is already trashed as far as sizing goes.

Jeez, it wasn't the print on my computer that I wanted bigger---Dirty Bugger!!! Actually, with the new 24" LCD monitor I bought just before Christmas, I'm seeing details on my computer that I haven't seen for 3 or 4 years.

When you guys get over your Vistaphobia you'll find a zoom feature on any screen in the lower right corner.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
