I just purchased a new PC running XP Home. The screen has great resolution,
but my freecell is so small that it is hard for me to see. (Getting old is so
frustrating) I have tried several things to increase the size of the image,
such as increasing the font size and even the dpi settings in the "Display"
settings, but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The game graphics are restricted to their current size. The only ways
to make the cards larger:
- Lower the screen resolution to 800x600 or 640x480 when you play the
game. If you have a tray icon for quickly changing the resolution, this
could be quite easy to do.
- Use the Magnifier Accessibility tool. It will show the pointer
position at the top of the screen in a magnified size. It can be
toggled on/off easily.
- Look for another version on the internet that can be resized:

I play FreeCell toomuch too. Having beta tested Vista and now possessing the
retail version I can tell you, all the games have been reworked and come up
full screen.
