Answer 1

Here are the steps for Windows XP. It may be the same in other versions of Windows (or very similar). I seem to recall it being like this for a long time...

Right click the desktop. Choose Properties.

In the Display Properties dialog box that shows up, there are five tabs. Select the Appearance tab. Then click the Advanced button.

A new box opens, called Advanced Appearance. In the Item menu, select Caption Buttons. To the right of that is where you change their size. You'll see the changes in the display as you click the up or down arrows.

You'll see there's room to make them quite a bit larger. I hope this helps.

By the way, if you do have a different Windows version, the main thing to look for is "caption buttons." Knowing that, and doing a little exploring in roughly the same place, will probably take you to the appropriate settings.

Answer 2

Right click on the desk top, and choose properties, then choose settings change settings to 600X800 or 640X480.

Hope this helps.

Good Luck.
