Question

How do I get bigger text on my computer?


I just bought a new widescreen monitor and when I set it to the clearest highest resolution the text and icons all get small. Is thier a way to get the clear picture with the bigger text?

Answer

I also have a wide screen monitor, mine is a "hp 19 inch wide screen" and what I have found to get the very best from your new monitor is to set the screen resolution to 1024 x 768 pixels.
how you do this is simply Right Click on an empty part of your desk top and click on:
1/ Personalisation
2/ then click on Display Settings
3/ you will see in the left corner a slider saying Low - High
4/ Slide the slider pointer to the left until you see the resolution showing 1024 x 768
5/ Click OK
6/ close all windows, you will now see the Icons and text is a lot larger enabling you to see whats on the screen a lot better.

Depends if you have a mac or pc. If you have a mac, what mac do you have? If you have a pc, what operating system do you have, e.g. xp, vista, windows 7? Sorry this is going on but things chageas newer operating systems come out.
