puter is working good but how do i make the icons bigger ever thing is so small i'm having a fuck of a time trying to read maybe you can answer me with your caps on

Byson, if you want to make your icons look bigger you can reduce your display resolution. Right-click an empty part of your desktop and select "Properties." In the "Display Properties" window click the Settings tab. Move the slider in the Screen Resolution field to the left to something like 1024x768 or 800x600. Click OK.

To make the text larger when browsing the Internet, go to the View menu of Internet Explorer, then slide down to Text Size and select Large or Largest.

Byson:

If you haven't done so already, try playing around with the display properties. Go to Control Panel - Settings - Display - Properties.

Under Settings, try different screen resolutions.

Then for the different resolutions, under Display - Appearance try changing the font size to Large or Extra Large when you are at the higher resolutions. I find the combination of 1024x768 with large fonts enabled works best for my limited eyesight and laptop screen.

Also, under Display - Appearance select "Effects" and click on "Use large icons". There's a few other effects there that also sometimes help make the icons more visible, depending on the wallpaper you use.
