In mode XP of Windows 7 font size is too small

I installed XP mode in my new Dell running Windows 7 Pro. In XP mode, the font size is VERY small. The desktop icons are also very small. In display settings, the display is set to 1920 X 1078 and cannot be changed. Is it possible to increase the size of fonts and icons?

Hello

We cannot change the size of font in XP. It's normal. One of the limitations with XP mode is that the resolution of the screen color is limited to 16 bits. You can change this to 32 bits
by "cutting" the integration features. Follow these steps:

1 should start and

Select all programs, scroll down to Windows Virtual PC, and then select Windows XP Mode .
2 , click Tools, and then click Disable integration.

You can also check this link for more information on how to change the display and other settings in XP mode:

  • The font size is too small in the email received

    When I receive email using Windows Live Mail, the size of the font of the text is too small, and I can't read them. I was able to select the size of the police "The greatest." However, I still don't see any difference in an email of some, like the email receipt from PayPal.

    When I was using old Outlook Express in Windows XP, I don't have this kind of problem.

    Could you please let me know how to enlarge the size of the font of the received email?

    I use Windows 7 (64).

    Thank you.

    Hi Adam,.

    Thanks for your suggestion.

    But I had no more time to play with this problem and decided to use Zimbra Desktop.

    Zimbra works very well. I can see very clearly the HTML messages and can print with the font size, I want, just like Outlook Express.

    Thanks in any case.

    Best regards

  • the font size is too small on 4 k screen - new computer dell laptop

    I just bought a Dell laptop that came with a 4 k screen, all the drop down menus of windows are ok to read but inside cs6 drop-down menus are still reading size of pixel... that makes them so tiny that it is almost impossible to read, is there a solution or an upgrade on the way?

    Hi Phil

    I'm sorry to tell you that there is no solution to screen high resolution for CS6.  2014.2.2 CC workaround in preferences that gives you a 2 X UI, but things like Guides are always one pixel wide and very difficult to see.

    If you're feeling brave, however, there is a registry hack, which could even work for CS6

  • How to get to 'see' to be able to set the font size? Too small, can't read, especially in Facebook.

    Suddenly, it seems that the police got so small, that I can hardly read it. I have good eyesight and a 21 or 22 "screen. But Firefox has only a single drop-down list, not others he used to have. I need to be able to define the size of the content on the screen. Help! Thank you!

    To the menu 'View' try to press 'Alt' + 'V' on the keyboard.

    To set the default zoom: "Ctrl" + "0" (zero)

    To display the menus again, right-click on the left end of the address bar (where there is an icon of the current web page) and select "Menu Bar".

    Hello

    • This happens to you with a game or all games?

    Do a right click and go to the shortcut properties and find the box where it says 'run' pass the value normal in full screen.

    If this does not help, configure the following setting and check:

    (1) right-click on the game shortcut icon, click on properties.
    (2) on the shortcut tab, go to run.
    (3) in the drop-down list, select expand.
    (4) click on apply to apply the setting.
    5) click Ok to confirm the change.

    Also, I suggest you try changing the hardware acceleration, here are the steps to change the hardware acceleration.

    1. Select start > Control Panel
    2. in the window of the Control Panel, click appearance and personalization
    3. click on personalization > display settings, and then click Advanced settings.
    4. go in the Troubleshooting tab, and then click on change settings.
    Note: The settings will be disabled if the graphics card driver does not support disabling hardware acceleration.
    5. move the hardware acceleration slider until it is one notch to the right of None. It is the basis of acceleration.
    6. click OK twice, and then close the window.

  • "The new page size is too small": how?

    The width of the page in my book was 4,125 "with 0.25" margins on the sides. The title pages of each section have tabs to purge, and I needed to increase the size of the page to remove a text which was on the tabs, but off the page. I increased the width of the page 6 "and deleted text, but now I can't change to 4,125" wide. FM said: "new page size is too small for some custom column layouts. Why? It was 4,125 "before...

    I checked my master pages, and there are no pages that have columns that are too wide for one page 4,125 ". None of the text boxes exceeds 3.625 ".

    Sometimes I can bypass this message by reducing the width of page in smaller increments, but in this case the message happens even if I reduce the width to 5.99 ". I also tried to decrease all the text boxes to 3.5 "but get the same message.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    What specific version of FM (help > about) and o/s?

    I often met this already too, in all versions of FM. It seems that there is some routine check who comes in is that after we resize the pages and it won't let go.

    You mention the title pages have tabs to purge, but you did not say specifically, is to know if the text off page is serving on a page of the body or on a master page?

    When you deleted the text in the tab, you also remove the frame, the text was? If this isn't the case, it's probably what FM complains, because he "knows" now on the block of text off-page.

    I'm racking my brain to remember what solutions I found...

  • Windows 7 font size

    The font size of my Windows 7 is suddenly too big.  I went in the display area, and it is marked as being the smallest.  I have not changed resolution (always on the '' recommended '').  The toolbars at the top of pages, always look the same.  How can I reduce this font?

  • Webview from landscape orientation to portrait mode causes the font size to become smaller and a problem with the context Menu

    Hi, I have a webview with inline html. It works fine except that when I pass in landscape mode, the screen fills fine and the police grows, but when I go back to portrait fonts are tiny, even smaller then when initially in the portrait. I am installing this on a Z10 with cascades 10.1 SDK. Is this a Bug somewhere in the SDK or BB10?

    Another problem I have is in Web mode, the shortcut menu appears when I touch a Word. I is no need to use the context menu. How can I get rid of him. In the case where I would like to someday use this menu, I would need to add code to it. I can't find the code. Where can I find it?

    Thanks for your help

    Concerning

    Roland

    I' to propose taying far WebView as much as possible and using TextArea (with type HTML). There are still a few bugs present in WebView that make it unpleasant to use.

    You cannot get rid of the context menu, so it will disappear once you remove WebView. You can still share with other methods.

    This may seem more work and it's probably, but it's going to do to improve the user experience and fewer headaches for you.

  • AOL Mail font list is too small.

    I recently bought Windows 8, IE 10 and 9.7 of AOL.  The font is too small on the mail list.  This issue has been addressed yet?  What should I do?  I have XP has used so far and had no problem changing the size of police through IE.  Even the icons are small in the menu bar, but I can deal with that, if I have to.  Help, it's really bad in my eyes!

    Hold down the ALT key and then the menu should appear.  They began to hide like that and it does not show as long as you hold down the ALT key.

  • When I open the browser Firefox with Yahoo home page. Images and the font size is so small, I can hardly read it. Frustrated! Tim

    I was on the Firefox help page and tried everything that was suggested. I have yet to find a default selection value where I can put my home page to open to say 125% or a way to have it open where I don't have to enlarge each page - whenever I open it.

    You can increase the chain pref layout.css.devPixelsPerPx from 1,0 to 2,0 to 0.1 or 0.05 as follows to adjust the size of all fonts and other elements in Firefox (percentage divided by DPI, for example 150% / 96).

    In current versions of Firefox this pref is a string parsed in float value and allows you to adjust the dimensions of all elements (user interface and web pages) more precisely.

    To open the topic: config page, type Subject: config in the address bar (address) and press the 'Enter' key, as you type the url of a Web site to open a Web site.

    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access this page.

    • Use the filter at the top bar of the on: page config to more easily spot a preference.
    • Preferences that have changed see the bold (user set).
    • Preferences you can restore the default value or change via the context menu.
  • The individual windows and fonts in became very small and difficult to read.

    I changed the settings in the appearance section of the display window, all to nothing does not.  I tried to change the number of dpi and which only makes all of the smaller screen, but maintains the windows to the relatively small size even.
