Some tips on how to make your computer easier to use
You can change the settings on your computer to:
- increase the size of text
- increase the size of the on-screen mouse 'pointer'
- adjust the speed and sensitivity of the mouse
- adjust the responsiveness of the keys on a keyboard
- change the on-screen colours to improve contrast
- adjust the brightness or contrast on the screen
The 'help' section of your computer should show you how to change your computer's settings. Settings are usually changed via the 'settings' or 'accessibility options' on your computer.
