For the desktop background. You need to make sure Your Display settings permit it.
At the same time you must have enough memory if you are trying to run the Aero Glass
feature. So go to Display settings first and you might get away with MED. 16 bit
I would say go for High 32 Bit. While playing in that area make sure your graphics
driver is up to date. Your mother probably would need Aero so I would turn it off
in 'Themes'. Click on Windows Vista or Windows classic and see if one of those will
get you going.
As for the fonts if 200%! isn't big enough you can select a different font. Some
fonts are bigger in just the way they are designed. That will take some searching
and experimentation. But usually 200% will get the attention of just about anyone.
You might want to try font smoothing as this can give a better definition to your
font.
The printing I will have to pass on for the most part. You can try to reset IE. GO
to Tools/Internet Options/Advanced/ RESET. You might have to restart optional things
like a 3rd party tool bar and stuff like that. I do not encourage using firefox.
It is a garage door sized hole for hackers to get into your machine. This goes for
any "Open Architecture" software. It's like leaving the keys to your brand new Mercedes
in the ignition and the door unlocked.
