Question Author
Thank you, vehelpfulguy, for your detailed comments. I am quite happy with maximising / minimising / resizing the screen and while this works OK with most of the things I want to do I still have some difficulty with - saddo that I am - the old fashioned but therapeutic MS games (Solitaire, Hearts, FreeCell, Minesweeper) all of which behave slightly differently when I try to expand them. The playing area - with the exception of Minesweeper - can be enlarged but all this does is increase the separation of the cards. What I want to do is to increase the size of the cards (and the Minesweeper grid) so that I can see them more easily.
I also have some difficulty with the size of the text in the Address Bar on my AOL screen. I know how to alter font style and size in emails and on web pages but I can't see how to make the address bar bigger.
I can get around the problem by changing resolution but I do take your point that the Native Resolution shouldn't really be tampered with.
Any other ideas?
Thanks again for your comments
