    Hey, I just got my E1505 yesterday. I'm liking it so far but I'm having some trouble with changing the text size on websites. I tried changing the DPI settings to make the text larger and easier to read but it only seems to efffect certain webites like google, while as other websites, like this one still have tiny text size. Changing resolution didn't help either, I also tried changing to the larger text size option in the Appearance tab in the Settings Menu. Is there any other way to change text size?

    Using control doesn't work either.

    Lower your resolution, everything will be larger.

    do you have your video card driver installed?

    Right click on my computer-->properties-->hardware tab-->device manager-->display adapters. Any yellow question marks?

    I have a Radeon X1400, there's no yellow question marks next to it and says it's working properly. :confused: Do I have to update the driver or something?
