How do I enlarge my text?

My operating system is Vista. My provider is AOL, who suggests 96 DPI but this causes me to squiint sometimes, so I went to control panel to change the text which I did to 144 DPI but it doesn't seem to change at all. The screen they show the change, I cannot go to the bottom of the screen to okay it. Anyone able to help me? Thanks

I have Vista operating system and my problem is with the text size. My internet program is AOL. They recommend 96 DPI, but thjis is hard on my eyes as it is too small. I went to control panel to the changing size of text and checked 144 DPI but nothing seems to change. Can anyone help me in changing the text size? Thanks Ruthee

Dear Jody, When I get to the scaling screen they give me three options. I check the 144 DPI scale but can't get to the bottom of that screen to okay this move. How do I make this screenk smaller so I can okay the move. Thanks, Harris

Can you maximize the window, then tab over to the OK button and hit the Enter key?

If you hold down the left-hand CTRL key while rolling the mouse wheel up or down, you'll change the text size on the screen to suit your comfort.

Try it in word, or internet explorer etc....

Hi Ruthee,

Once you select the DPI you want, hit [tab] [tab] [space], this will select the OK button and manually click it.

Dear Jody, That is the answer. I thank you very much. Ruthee

But pressing [Enter], as I suggested, does the same - "pressing" the default button, which is "OK".

Apologies. I must admit i did not read all the previous comment before adding my own comment and in fact, since Ruthee's last comment, and looking back, i notice you've already mentioned the CTRL-mouse-wheel solution.
