| I have a friend who purchased a new PC running Win XP Home.The Desktop/Properties/Apperance/Font Size drop down box has only one font-size choice: Normal.My PC has Large and Extra Large.It's an eyesight thing. 1280x1024 resolution, and she needs larger fonts.Anyone know how I can increase the font size on her display properties? |

The fonts appear larger.I'm told that they solved this problem - something about XP being in "Classic" mode prevented the other fonts sizes from appearing.It's supposed to be OK now. The next call I got was that the HP scanner had a "proprietary" USB cable. USB on one end, firewire on the other. |

| So you've have to buy the HP cable so that they "know it works."Translated from business speak that's so they know they can make a few extra bucks on that printer.Michael<Yoda>Use the Search page you must. Find the answer you will.</Yoda> |

| I seriously doubt that the cable is a USB/Firewire convertor. Challenging this subject wasn't on my agenda. |

there are usb cables that have a firewire-like end (not exactly like), but it is still USB.Corey Secret Service Agent: Mr. President, you're urinating on me.President Lyndon Johnson: I know I am. It's my prerogative. |

| Tru truThe USB cable for my DV Camcorder uses a really small connector on one end that is almost like the small Firewire connector.The USB one is like a trapazoid, the firewire one is a square with one side dented in.Michael<Yoda>Use the Search page you must. Find the answer you will.</Yoda> |

Oh, right. I assumed it was like a gearbox - the firewire end running faster than the USB end Kristen |

| I always change my font size using Desktop -> Properties -> Settings -> Advanced and then change the DPI settings. I'm not sure if that's the proper way or not though.===============================================Creating tomorrow's legacy systems today.One crisis at a time. |
