Can't See The Computer Screen? Help Is On The Way
'Some of us as we grow older suffer from limited vision. Some folks suffer from glaucoma and/or the beginnings of macular degeneration. Where can we find information to \"tuneup\" our computers to improve visibility?
Things like screen contrasts, Cursor color, size, and shape, and software that is very simple and easy to see the commands. But many are repeatedly frustrated by screen changes in Google (cannot find the buttons) and popups that are not easily removed (cannot find the buttons). What To Do???
Microsoft XP and Vista includes a number of \"accessibility options\" that allows you adjust the scrollbar and window border size, icons, size and color of the cursor and contrast. There is an Accessibility Wizard that can guide you through the steps. Just go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > Accessibility and click Accessibility Wizard. You can find out more about how to use the wizard here:

If you need more assistance, there are many third party programs designed to assist those with limited vision. These include screen enlargers, screen readers and more. The Assistive Technology Catalog helps you search for those products:
