Low vision-XP using HIGH CONTRAST options to see better

2.	Hit your start key then C until you get to CONTROL PANEL and ENTER to open
3.	Accessibility options is your first option, so enter to open
4.	CTRL+TAB to display
5.	ALT+U to select the option of high contrast
6.	ALT+S to go to settings options
7.	TAB to select—use shortcut-hit space bar to select
8.	TAB to High Contrast appearance scheme
9.	Keep hitting H until you jump to High contrast black #2 (extra large)

11.	Hit ALT+A to apply these choices and your screen will change

14.	The hot key to switch back and forth between regular screen and this
