The Control Panel options vary from version to version of Windows, but most have a High Contrast option which gives more contrast and larger sizes.
Besides these approaches, you can use JAWS to read on-screen material. Not quite everything in SPSS can be read by JAWS, but it helps a lot. Look at the topic "accessibility" in the SPSS Help index for a lot of information on this topic.

Hi Jeff,
1--In addition to Dominic's and Martha's advice using
Window's "Magnifying glass" program is also possible.
I believe it is standard present in every
installation, if not it's on the windows cd. It can be
found under:
Start --> Programs --> Accecoires --> Accessibility.
There are several tools that may be useful there.
2-- Under Control Panel --> Accessibility Options,
there are a few more things you can change, e.g.
increasing the contrast.
Cheers!
