Increasing Font Sizes

I've just purchased a 17" LCD, and while I love the display, some of the text is really rather small to read comfortably at the screen's native resolution. The Windows accessibility features unfortunately only increase the size of title bars and the desktop text, but text inside other windows stays the same. Is there any way to increase the text size for all Windows applications?

Help would really be appreciated right about now.

 

To reset font size for all software programs installed - Start/Settings/Display Properties/Appearance tab/third option pull down is Font size. If you are not please with the change you make return and reset it. For most software programs you can choose the View pull down and choose Zoom and choose from there. However, this option is only commited to the program you use it in and may not stay set at what you choose after you close the program.
