Hi:
Click on your start button and then click on Control Panel, then click on Display and on the upper tabs click on Appearance and go to the bottom window and you have font size options: normal, large fonts and extra large fonts. Choose your need and click apply at the bottom and that's it.

You can get there from the display options in the control panel. You can also right-click on the screen (desktop) and access the display options from there. How it works depends on whether you have windows XP or 7. The both will do it, though.

Change font size on computer screen

You haven't told us where on the computer you want to increase the font size. If you just talking about the browser screen, in most cases you can just hold down the Ctrl key and press the + key repeatedly until they are the size you wish. In MS Word you change the size in the window slot to the right of the font name.
