My 87 year old friend, who writes daily for the local Hospital Auxiliary, was having trouble seeing her icons and reading her documents. I changed the settings on her pc so the icons as well as the letters in her documents appear much larger. If this is your problem, here are the steps to take:
Right click on an empty space right on your desktop; click on Properties; Go to the Appearance tab; under the Fonts selection choose Large Fonts or Extra Large Fonts.
You also have the option to choose the Effects button and choose Use Large Icons.
Hit the Apply button. This was not enough for my friend so I went one step further: While still in Properties you can choose the Settings tab; Under Screen Resolution you can lessen your pixels (This makes the letters larger). Do this a little at a time and then decide which setting best suits you. If you don't like what you see, you can always change it back to the original settings.
