There is an (unenforcd) acceptable use policy for these newsgroups.

Here is a working set for you:

1. Go back to 96 DPI.
2. Choose a comfortable screen resolution.
3. Use XP Accessibility Magnifier.

XP was not designed with Zulu in mind.

There is also the Deskbar magnifier

If he want IE content at any size I can help too.

Dialog fonts are virtual fonts (at least for current MS programs).

Here is where MS Shell Dlg is actually mapped to a font.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows =
NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes

Different fonts are different sizes (at the same point size). He may =
fine some fonts clearer than others. But beware, this is like the DPI =
thing. Dialogs generally don't expect their fonts to change. If it's =
written to the latest standards it's be fine (but so would 120 dpi). =
Still a lot of programs won't use this particular font so changes may be =
acceptable. But it's up to the dialog box.

Why is it that the time posted by program consistently is 3-4 minutes
ahead of the time in the task bar? It always is.

Thanks
