Hi

If you are using Internet Explorer, press the Alt key to show the Menu Bar and select View/Text Size. Select a size that that is comfortable for you.

For the Desktop, you will need to change the DPI settings.

Right click the Desktop and select Screen Resolution.

In the next window, select Make text and other items larger or smaller.

In the next window, select one of the optional sizes or set a Custom size to suit your needs.

Hope this helps.

Thank You for using Windows 7

    Ouch! Please don't yell at us. We can hear you if you type normally,

    in mixed case.

    It's not clear to me what "letters" you are asking about, but if it's

    the font in Internet Explorer, the easiest way to make it bigger is to

    hold down the Ctrl key and scroll the mouse wheel; one way makes it

    bigger, the other way smaller.

    This is a Windows standard that works in most, but not all,

    applications.
