    My letters in FW190 are very small. How to increase the size of them please? Increase resolution or decrease? And if so how? Thanks.

    Configuration panel > increase DPI (somewhere, I don't run Vista).

    right click on destop, personalize, adjust font size(DPI).
    My advice is to try 110% (106dpi) or 115 (110dpi) and make sure you checkbox XP compatiblity. If you don't like the final result (you must restart) you can try other thing:

    right click on destop, personalize, windows color and appearence, open classic, advanced and there you can change font size

    Your lucky you dont have the fw290. Its very small fonts. So bad Im planing to return it.

    This can be improved by increasing the DPI but makes images more blurry.

    Changing system font size, may solve the problem without changing DPI (if the result works for you).

    I have been playing with these setting for almost 2 weeks to find the right one, at first I was using system default fonts with DPI set to either 106 or 110. At the end, most satisfying result was default DPI (96) with bigger system font size (and icon size as well).

    as I already wrote:
    right click on desktop, personalize, windows color and appearance, open classic, advanced and there you can change font size, icon size....

    You should restart you comp. in order to apply (in a correct way) new settings.

    OR:

    you can do the other way around: to change DPI to 110 or any other value, restart your comp, then enter personalization as I said above, make ALL fonts to size 8 (the reason for this is to keep icons in normal size not blurry), restart again and see if you like the result.

    Cheers,
    Miki
