    Did you load the proper display driver?

    On Windows Mainscreen, right click anywhere a small window will pop up.

    Select Properties, The Display Properties Window will open.

    Select the Appearance Tab in the Display Properties Window

    Then you will see the FONT box on the bottom of that window.

    You have 3 choices, Normal, Large, Extra Large.

    Make you selection and left click apply.

    Ok, in Firefox or Internet Explorer, hold down Ctrl + scroll with your mouse wheel. That might help.
