gaz1 Posted September 13, 2008 Author Share Posted September 13, 2008 you can change the screen resolution right click on an open section of your desktop, personalise, etc just tried that graham but it does not make the letters bigger just makes the screen less clearer, even the smilies are tiny from this end:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Start > Control panel > Display > Appearance > Font size Hope that helps bud. Edit. Change the control panel view to classic to ease finding the display icon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyT Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Sorry about the confusion above Gaz. Haven't used AOL for years. Do you get Internet Explorer? I'd use that as your browser. I'll try and find some info for you. LOL I love Google... Under 'My AOL' in the AOL Toolbar, select Preferences. Then click on the WWW icon in the scrolling list on the left. On the right, click on Advanced Settings. A dialog box will appear with a collection of controls on the right and a column of options on the left. Select the Browser Display option on the left. You can set the Text Size to 'Large' or 'Largest' for more comfortable reading. Click the OK button in the Advanced Settings dialog box and then click the OK button in the Preferences dialog box to make your new settings take effect. Hope that helps.

AndyT Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 i am on aol 9vr i cannot see my aol:blink: Searching..... Sign on to AOL and visit AOL Keyword: Preferences. On AOL 9.0, click Font & Text Settings. On older versions of AOL, click Font, Text & Graphics. Under the Font Preferences heading, select your preferred font, text size and colour for writing email, Instant Messages and chat. Under the Text Preferences heading, select your preferred size for viewing text from other people: Small, Medium or Large. Click Save. Yep. Keyword in the title bar. By the looks of it you have to type in preferences into the keyword function. Not sure. Just trying to get a screenshot of aol9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
