 Instructions


 

To Change Your Screen Resolution...

  1. Minimize all your windows so that your Windows desktop or "background" is showing.
  2. Using your mouse, click the right mouse button anywhere on the desktop. A menu will pop up with several different options. Select the "Properties" option at the bottom and left click on it.
  3. The "Display Properties" window will now be displayed. Click the "Settings" tab to the right of the window.
  4. Near the bottom right of the new windows, there is a "Screen Area" section. Slide the slide bar so that it says "800 by 600 pixels" underneath it.
  5. Click "OK" and you will see a notice which pops up letting you know that you are about to resize your desktop. Click "OK" on this as well. Your screen may go black or may flicker for a quick second. When it is done you will notice that everything is either larger or smaller, but this will allow you to view our page at the best display as possible.

To Adjust Your Text Size To Medium...

  1. In Internet Explorer (the window that allows you to view the internet), Click "View" at the top of the window.
  2. When the menu comes down, move your mouse down to text size. You will notice that another menu pops up with several different sizes available. Make sure the bullet point is on the "Medium" option. If it isn't, simply move your mouse to "Medium" and click it once. You will notice that all text on the internet will be either larger or smaller depending on your previous settings.
