On-Screen Keyboard

[Lu C]

An acquaintance with accessibility challenges uses the Windows Vista
provided "On-Screen Keyboard". However,if the screen view could be enlarged,
it would further ease typing. Is there a way of enlarging the size of the
view? Thank you for your suggestions and help.

leapfrog-Yes, thank you! lowering the resolution increased the keyboard size
and
unfortunately everything else as well. She is playing around to the best
compromise. We experimented with DPI and found that it affected font/icon
sizing but no change on the keyboard! leading to the thought that the
keyboard may have independent adjustments ( maybe just wishful thinking)
Thank you for your time and help. Lu C

Users with accessibility challenges really should invest in the largest monitor they can get.
Even though it might be expensive now, it will be a major improvement in their life.
Have a doctor write a note that a very large monitor is required and then put in your taxes as medical deduction.

Richard in AZ- Thanks for the advice, she purchased a 22" monitor recently,
funny she occasionaly complains having to move the cursor "great distances"
, on balance, she likes the larger screen. Thank you

You can adjust the mouse so that a small movement on the pad move the cursor a longer distance.
Makes it more sensitive that way, so be careful.
