Taskbar fonts and icons

[Guest]

I just bought a 19"lcd monitor. I resized all of the available areas of my
desktop, both icons and fonts. I set the taskbar at large icons and fonts.
However, the taskbar and fonts are still tiny and nearly unreadable (thin as
a hair). I bought a 19" because both my wife's and my eyesight aren't what
they used to be. It's real nice to have the beauty of 1280 by 1064
resolution, but the taskbar is almost too small to see. For instance the
Google homepage is 90% white blank with a tiny information area. Dumb. I'm
REALLY glad I didn't buy a 23"! I know (after 9 hours on HP support) I can
reset the resolution to a lower setting but the beauty of the graphics
degrades remarkably, and in some cases stretches unnaturally. I now know how
to make Elle look like Durward Kirby! I'm so proud! Along with this
problem, due to the mimiturization of the text, I"m unable to hear my dial-up
working. My wife wears contacts and it's hard to get in the proper position
to read these tiny windows. Any whiz kid out there know how to correct
these. Incidentally, I tried several patches from Kelly's pages to no avail.
I think my Norton or spyware programs blocked them due to some corruption
issues.

As far as the text on web pages being small: Open Internet Explorer, click the View
menu/Text Size, and then click on either Larger or Largest.

Switching to a lower screen Resolution should not effect the quality of the images. It's
the Color Quality setting that should be high. Maybe you're lowering BOTH settings,
causing the image quality to seem poor?

Common, as per my note topmost on my page:

NOTE: If your anti-virus software warns you of a "malicious" script, this
is normal if you have "Script Safe" or similar technology enabled. These
scripts are not malicious, but they do make changes to the System Registry.
