Right click desktop. Left on properties. Click settings. Reset screen resolution. I keep mine fairly large - good for severe myopia. Half deaf too, but still hate SCREAMING. Thanks.
You might try Opera (
http://www.opera.com/download/), "the best browser nobody is using." Hit the "+" key and text enlarges, hit the "-" key and it reduces. You can toggle word wrap on or off, and if you want you can just highlight a block of text and hit the speech button and it will read it to you. Great for those of whose eyes are not as young as they were.

you hold down the Ctrl key while
rotating the scroll wheel will enlarge or reduce the page on the screen. I haven't tried it in video or music programs but it works in all the browsers I've tried, MS Office etc.

I'm one of the culprits and I hang my head in shame. I was so pleased when I learned how to make large type I couldn't resist trying it out.
Sorry.
As I first found out about something that could grow bigger, I couldn't resist neither........never let my head hang in shame
So don't worry to much
I love you
