My problem is that I have somewhat impaired vision and I am using Flat Panel LCD displays which work best at 1280 x 1024 resolution.
This makes all the text very small

I have been able to enlarge 90% of all the text within Windows to a satisfactory level by using the various controls in the Windows Display properties and still keep the resolution at 1280 x 1024.

When I open the Photoshop program all the text which is a part of windows such as the top header "Adobe Photoshop" and all the other text below it such as "File" "Edit" "Image" Layer" etc can be changed.

But none of the text that is part of the Photoshop program itself, such as the "Tool Palate", "File Browser" "History" "Actions" etc can be changed. (Unless you are willing to lower the resolution, and doing that distorts the image on the Flat Panel display screen).

I have contacted Adobe regarding this issue and they confirm that there is no way to enlarge the Font size within Photoshop.

I was "Un-officially" told that there is a Third party solution, (Adobe does not support it) that addresses this problem to a certain extent, not the best performance and the text is a little jagged but it is enlarged and easier to read.

Does any one know about this and where can I get my hands on something like it.?

I have a Sony Vaio Computer 1.8GHz with 1GHz Ram
Running Windows XP Pro.
Two Flat panel Monitors (NEC LCD 1960NX and NEC 1760NX) set at 1280 x 1024 I am using an ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 128MB Graphics card capable of supporting two displays in an Primary and Extended Desk top configuration.
I am using Photoshop 7.01.

Any help on this issue would be very appreciated.

Thanks
