    Hi is there a way or a program that can schedule a time of day that my XP running computer downloads large files? Say after midnight for instance.

    ANY REASON WE'RE YELLING?!?!?!?!? hehe. ;)

    GetRight is a download manager capable of doing this. This link is shareware, but there's also a means on their site of getting a "code" to get it for free.

    I'm sorry if my short sightedness offends you!

    No, doesn't offend me at all! Was just a joke.

    However, you might be better served to hit CTRL and + to enlage text. This will enlarge EVERYTHING in your browser, as opposed to ONLY your own text.

    Good luck!

    Is there an equivalent for laptops without a separate numeric keypad?
    Ctrl-Shift+ doesn't work.
    I know a lady whose sight is deteriorating and this might help her. As a last resort I will plug in an external desktop keyboard to show her the difference. Bazza

    Hold the Ctrl Key down and use the scroll wheel on mouse, scroll down to increase text size scroll up to decrease. Or use view menu from toolbar.

    Also, you shouldn't need the shift key if you are using the plus sign on the alphanumeric part of the keyboard (ie, NOT the number pad)

    Thanks M_M, I've gotta think outside the box. :eek:
    I was trying Ctrl (and the Shift Key) and the = sign (to get the + sign) as I thought Shift and = was necessary to get the + sign. (doh).

    Ctrl and = works perfectly on my laptop to increase size. :D :eek:
    That will really help her and no external keyboard needed, saving space on her desk. :major
    For anyone interested, Ctrl and - (minus) reduces the size. ;)

    PS @plastidust@
    Doesn't work for me, but probably the way I have my wireless mouse programmed.;) Thanks anyhow. Baz
