QUESTION:
Some of us as we grow older suffer from limited vision. For instance, I have glaucoma and the beginnings of macular degeneration. Where can I find information to "tuneup" my computer for some help? Things like screen contrasts, Cursor color, size, and shape, and software that is very simple and easy to see the commands. I am repeatedly frustrated by screen changes in Yahoo (cannot find the buttons) and popups that are not easily removed (cannot find the buttons).
XP includes a number of "accessibility options" that let you adjust the scrollbar and window border size, icons, size and color of the cursor and contrast. There is an Accessibility Wizard that can guide you through the steps. Just go to Start | All Programs | Accessories | Accessibility and click Accessibility Wizard. You can find out more about how to use the wizard here:

If that's not enough, there are also many third party programs made to assist those with limited vision. These include screen enlargers, screen readers and more. The Assistive Technology Catalog helps you search for those products:
