EASI list,
I received this question today, and am hopeful someone on the list can help?

I have an accessibility question. It's not a web issue but involves
windows programs of all kinds. Here's the issue: I require large fonts.
I keep having trouble with programs on windows where the screens assumed
a higher resolution so that some crucial controls are actually located off
the screen (like the next or finish or OK button or a big drop down list
where the bottom is actually off the screen) Then windows will not
allow me to move the top of the window up so that I can see the bottom
of the window. Is there a way to modify windows so it will get over
not letting a window go up when it is letting the bottom of the window
be out of the viewable area? I have actually encountered programs so
recalcitrant that the only way I could operate the program was to
increase the resolution. This must be an extremely common problem.
What am I missing?

thanks to all,
