How can I darken the print on my screen?

Hi,

I run Win 7 64bit on a computer with performance rating of 7.3.

The print which appears on my screen (a top spec Sony Monitor) is coloured light grey, and difficult to read, especially against the bright screen background. 

Will you please tell me how to get the print to be fully black.

I have tried the high contrast themes, but occassionally, when entering data the yellow lettering disappears into the background, and I cannot tell what i am doing.

Many thanks

Roy Mayo.

    We're not asking about the printer, but rather the darkness of the letters as they appear on the monitor screen. So far, the answers have shown a non-understanding of the problem.  Is it possible to darken the text on the screen. It appears to be more grey than black, ergo, more difficult to read.

    Hi Doug,

    The user interface can only be changed using the available themes and settings when you on Start > Control Panel> Display. You may want to change the size of text and windows for you to be able to see the fonts better.

    Hope this helps and if you have other questions, don't hesitate to post back.

    Regards.

    I am amazed that nobody at Microsoft can answer this question.  How can I accomplish making the data on my computer screen darker?  Not bigger, not brighter, DARKER.  I have been using computers since DOS.  I am not a neophyte, but an experienced user.  I keep getting ridiculous answers from Microsoft "experts."  If you don't know, or if it is not possible, please say that, but enough idiotic "solutions."
