Hi Donna,

Go to Control Panel - Display - Settings, and decrease
the "Screen area" to the next lower setting. Or until
the desired resolution is achieved.

Sorry, but that reply from 'Bert' isn't right AT ALL!! you
should NEVER decrease your screen size. Always make it as
large as possible, for good resolution.
To answer your question, you can do several things.

First - go to IE/View/Text Size - make it the size you can
most easily read
If that doesn't work -
Second) go to Control Panel/Display/Settings/Advanced -
there you can set your font to be (for example) 125% of
the regular size (that's what I do, always).
If these don't work, re-post and I'll work on it further.

Now how can you make that statement when you don't know
for a fact what the screen size is currently set at? What I posted
is in fact the first step in diagnosing the problem.
