I am not sure to what 'new features' you refer, but if I had a complaint about it, the writing is much smaller than the other place and I have to wear reading glasses to see it.

Hold down the Ctrl key and roll the mouse wheel towards you, that should help you with the text size issue  whistle:

Cant do that on me laptop, instead I've used the movement receptors in my brain and moved me face closer to the screen...

If you are using IE Mr Happy click on the view tab at the top of the screen, select text size and then click on largest  whistle:

Not sure whether i like this or not, my screen has a dead line about 75% of the way accross (due to son confusing laptop with trampoline) so was using a smaller window.  I think with it this size I can almost see everything!

Check ebay, you should be able to get a replacement screen from there cheaply. Unfortunately none of my usual suppliers deal with laptop screens so I cant help much there.

You could invest in a Sherlock Holmes-esque magnifying glass I suppose  point:

I have a nice big tft job upstairs that I plug into for my photo editing and any job that needs that clear vision.  It's just on the move which generally means i can cope.  I miss about 3 letters with the screen set like this so it's no big deal.

Can you exchange children on e-bay?

I do like that wheel scrolly thing. Sometimes it's nice knowing geeks ~ you get to learn new stuff.
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

Thank you. Have a clap. lol:

I have learned 2 things from you today:

1. How to zoom the text.

2. That my mouse has a wheel on top as well as a ball underneath. redface:
