I have just got a new netbook for when I go away, or in hospital. It runs windows 7 starter. As my eyesght is really bad, and getting worse, I am having trouble configuering it so I can actually see it.
I've got clear type set up. Have the taskbar to auto hide, to give me a bit more room, am using verdana font. But still struggling. I didnt stuggle like this on my old one, that ran xp, but has died :(
Can anyone please help me, as I need it for this weekend. Many thanks :)
What are you actually trying to change, Tina? If it's the font size for web pages, that's a browser setting.
Not really the font size, that's set at 14.. but I just find it all really hard to read and forcus on
I've not used Windows 7 enough to be of much help, but I'm sure someone will be able to advise.
May be obvious, but easily forgotten. Have you adjusted the contrast on the Netbook ?
I mention it because I helped a neibour recently with a simler problem :)
Have a look at Control Panel - Ease of Access - then select Optimise Visual display this will give you some options to make the display easier to see.
Thanks Ray, that has really helped.. Nice and clear to look at now :thumb:
