On desktop right mouse click, click on properties. Some options in there you might like to try. Your window size maybe to big. Try it at 1024x768.

Some video cards have a dpi setting(same method of changing screen size then click on advanced) or can set text size to a percentage. Check in the advanced area.

The other thing to do is chang the font your windows uses but I can't remember how to do that just now.

All your posts are small silax, try using the CAPS button, it's located to the left of the letter A on your keyboard. The full stop and comma keys are on the bottom right. :yikes:

The other way.....

Click 'view'
then 'text size'
then select a larger one than the current setting.
