  1. When I used this the font only changed for the desktop icons and not the taskbar, start menu and such. Is that how it was supposed to turn out? Also, the font showed up pretty small, is there a way to code it larger or something?

  2. Thank you, I had long travel to find this

  3. That was sweet work. Thanks!

    I am having a difficult time figuring out how to increase the size of the font. Too small for my eyes. I go to the icon on the bottom of the right side and cannot get the pointer to move. I want it to read at 125 percent. I find this computer to be very difficult to figure out and wish I had never purchased it.
