My parents, who are in their 70’s, have computers and run them at 640x480. I wanted to try and bump up the resolution, so pictures look good, but still have it comfortable for them to read. Does anyone know of any links or how to's that outline how to get this done? I know there are various settings where the text size can be increased and it would be great if I didn’t have to discover each of them one by one.
 
Start by looking at Control Panel, Accessibility Options, Display, High Contrast. There are a great deal of selections there that will adjust text and icon sizing automaticly.

 
One option might be the purchase of a larger Monitor.
