         Try this for XP.
         
         
         Access the Display Properties dialog box by right-clicking the desktop and selecting the Properties command.
         
         Select the Appearance tab and click the Advanced button.
         Select Icon from the Item drop-down list.
         
         Use the Font drop-down arrow to select a font from the list.
         
         Click OK twice -- once to close the Advanced Appearance dialog box and once to close the Display Properties dialog box.

   Before you do anything drastic try pressing down the "Ctrl" key and use the + or - keys (right of the numbers above qwerty) to change the font size.
   
   Works on most browsers, just in case it's that one.

   Yeah if you move your finger down the left side of the "touch square" on most laptops then it will either magnify or reduce the size % of the page. It's ssooooo annoying; I accidentally do it once every day on my laptop.

                     I dont really know all that many titles, but that one I do becuase its one of hubbies favourites.
                     I actauly woke up at 3 am today, with like, fifteen hub ideas and fragments of songs and stories and drawigns I would make if I could draw..all swishing around in my head..never made it back to sleep, I got a bit of it written down, and Im just working on finishing at least one of them....
