I am using Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2. I was already set for 800 X 600 resolution, largest font size, custom character size at 130%. I already can not get the 'apply' 'cancel', and 'ok' buttons to show on the bottom of many menus until I drag the bar at the bottom of the screen (with the time and icons recently used etc. in it) off the screen and then drag the menu as high as I can get it. Even that does nt work on all menus.
So I believe I have maxed out that whole avenue of adjustment. Thanks for trying though.
