^see title.
Since everyone at home uses this computer at the moment we have to have it set to a lower resolution so that mum can see whats on the screen. I know that some games can force the computer to temporarily use the higher resolution while they are in use. Is there any way i can force other programs to this (like Google chrome).

For Chrome specifically, there's an extention called Resolution Switcher. I'm not sure if that meets your needs, or not. There's a few more ideas that I'm toying around with, but I can't look into them until this evening. Hope that helped a bit.

Rather than changing the screen resolution, try turning on "large fonts". It's called different things depending on what version of Windows you use, but Google should help you figure it out. Despite the name, it changes more than just font sizes.

Web browsers have their own font size settings, so you can configure Chrome to use "normal" fonts while everything else uses "large" fonts.

Its ok now. Mum was given a new computer the other day and it runs vista which seems to have fixed the bad graphics.
