Howdy,
Well, this might answer your question, if you're using Windows, I'm not sure about Mac, Linux, etc.
If you are using a program like Outlook Express to get your Email, you'll have to go into the windows control panel and change some things.
To increase or decrease the size of objects and text on your screen
Open Display in Control Panel.
On the Settings tab, click Advanced.
On the General tab, in the DPI setting list, click the dots per inch (dpi) setting you want to use.
If you choose Other in the DPI setting list, you can set custom options in the Custom DPI Setting dialog box either by selecting one of the percentage options in the drop-down list or by clicking on the ruler and dragging the pointer to specify a setting.
Restart your computer when prompted.
If you're using a web browser like Internet Explorer and going to some place like yahoo or Hotmail to check your email, it's easier.
1 - If you have a mouse with a scroll button on it Hold down the Ctrl key, and scroll up and down until you get the desired size.
2 - If you don't have a scroll, go into view (on the top left of your web browsers window) and choose text size, and change it there.
Windows has a built in magnifying option that puts a magnified frame of whereever your mouse is on the top of your screen. There is also a feature that will read text on your screen in a robotic voice, but, I don't find it very useful.
For either of these features Go to the start menu
Then All Programs
then Accessibility
then Choose Magnifier, Narrator, or Utility Manager to see your options.
To get into the utility manager quickly press the windows key (between ctrl and alt) + U
If you're not using windows though, I doubt any of this will be useful.

Go to your manual bar. Choose "View," then "Font Size" and then pick the right size yourself. I use the largest font to view.
By the way, should you go and see your doctor on your eyes' problem first?
Hold down the Cntrl button while you wiggle around the center small button over on your mouse. That changes the size of the text temporarily, how it appears to you only.
go to start- allprograms- accesories- accesibility- accesibilty wizard. then select an easy to see print.
if that doesnt work, go back to accesibility, and use the magnifier
