In my accessibility options I have set Display to use high contrast and have
set the scheme to High Contrast White (extra large). Now just about
everything is fine with one exception. The text on tabs and in option boxes
(e.g. the print dialog box, the display properties dialog box) is not
enlarged. Is there any way I can increase the size of this text without
lowering the screen resolution?

Right now I have the screen resolution set to 1600 x 1024. If I right click
on the desktop and choose properties all the text in the display properties
box is not extra large.

I wish I had better news for you but there are nooks and crannies in
Windows (and applications) that will ignore the large font setting. Or
worse, try to display with large fonts but cut off information. Hopefully
these problems will be addressed in newer versions of Windows. In the
meantime, you could try the screen magnifier for those times you need to
deal with these uncooperative screens.
