text too small

I'd like to make my text larger on my Vista laptop. Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Go to >START click > Help and Support type "Make the text on your screen
larger or smaller"
and follow the instructions.

Make the text on your screen larger or smaller

Make the text on your screen larger or smaller

You can make the text and other items, such as icons, on your screen easier
to see by making them larger. You do this by increasing the dots per inch
(DPI) scale. You can also decrease the DPI scale to make text and other
items on your screen smaller, so that more information fits on the screen.


Click to open Personalization.

In the left pane, click Adjust font size (DPI). If you are prompted for an
administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide
confirmation.

In the DPI Scaling dialog box, do one of the following:

To increase the size of text and other items on the screen, click Larger
scale (120 DPI)-make text more readable, and then click OK.

To decrease the size of text and other items on the screen, click Default
scale (96 DPI)-fit more information, and then click OK.

To see the changes, close all of your programs, and then restart Windows.

To create a custom DPI scale
Click to open Personalization.

In the left pane, click Adjust font size (DPI). If you are prompted for an
administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide
confirmation.

In the DPI Scaling dialog box, click Custom DPI.



Customize the size of the text that displays

In the Scale to this percentage of normal size list, enter the percentage
you want, and then click OK.

To see the changes, close all of your programs, and then restart Windows.

To make text and on-screen items clearer in programs that aren't designed
for high DPI
If you set the DPI higher than 96, and you are running Windows Aero (the
premium visual experience of Windows Vista), the text and other items on the
screen might appear blurry in some programs that are not designed for
high-DPI display in this version of Windows. You can avoid this issue by
using Windows XP-style DPI scaling for these programs.



Some programs display better using Windows XP style of DPI scaling

Click to open Personalization.

In the left pane, click Adjust font size (DPI). If you are prompted for an
administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide
confirmation.

In the DPI Scaling dialog box, click Custom DPI.

Select the Use Windows XP style DPI scaling check box, and then click OK.
