I am running MicroSoft XP Home Edition OS on a Dell Inspiron 9300 with IE 8 and the print in the SubTray and menu bars is so small it is very hard to read must be about a 6 font size. Anyone know how to enlarge the text size?

Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.

Thanks but that only increases and decreases the print in the web page.

Ok, this is what changes text size for the menu bar:

go to START

go to CONTROL PANNEL

go to DISPLAY

go to APPEARANCE

go to ADVANCED

under ITEM find MENU

click on it to highlight

under FONT change size to 10

click OK a couple of times

That will work, but only for the menu bar text.

Nothing to it. Try.
