I bought a new computer tower that has HDMI output, and hooked it up to my Sony Bravia 40 inch lcd. The picture is amazing for vids i've downloaded off the net but im wondering how the hell i can change a setting that will magnify EVERYTHING i do on the computer to a bigger size.

Typing on msn is making me go blind trying to read what people are saying and trying to type in the internet explorer bar is near impossible. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

This will depend on your graphics card. I am not sure on vista as I don't use it but on xp, right click an empty area of your desktop and click properties. Then cick on the Settings tab and what you are looking to change, is your display settings. The higher the resolution (that means to the right) the smaller things will appear. To the left, the larger it will appear.

Same thing, instead of Settings Tab, Go to the one before. Appearance. Select font size at the bottom and boost it up to what works for you.
