I right click on the desktop and then choose Properties, Settings Tab, Advanced(in the lower right corner), General Tab, DPI settings. And it lets you set the DPI for the screen resolution. What it says is "If your screen resolution makes screen items too small to view comfortably, you can increase the DPI to compensate. The combination of large fonts and increased DPI sems to work for me.
Thank you Joe, widescreen is nice. I too use windows XP and changedBaskar,
The shots all look nice on my monitor. I'm using a 22 inch
Westinghouse wide screen LCD at 1680 X 1050 resolution and found I
had to squint to read any text. I'm using Windows XP and found I
needed to change the Font Size to Large Fonts and the DPI setting to
Large Size (120 DPI), 125% Normal Size DPI. That way it works across
all programs for me.
Good luck with your new monitor.
the font size to large in Display properties and in IE through Tools>
Internet options. Now it is so much better.
I don't understand 'DPI setting' though. DPI refers to print size
usually isn't it? How is it relevant for browser and how do you
change that?
Cheers
