if it's for the web you're viewing, use ctrl + your mouses scrolling wheel to grow and shrink the text in FF.

go to view then text size... this will work in ie or firefox... if it's actually xp you want to do it in, go to your desktop and right click anywhere in an empty space, go to properties, appearance, font size

you should be careful though-the post office charges for size as well as weight now.

Right click your desk top
Properties
Pick "settings"

Drop your resolution down one or so steps. This will give you less space to work, but everything is bigger.

Under "Advanced Button" you may first try to change your DPI setting.

In this same properties area, you may also try to change your "appearance".

There is a setting to make your fonts bigger, and under advanced there is a plethora of options to mess around with.

I'd like my screen to be Bigger and Deffer. If there a "Deffness" setting?

You can pimp it from the same features I listed. I've got the Dub Bar Phat, and keep my text on the low.

Word.
