Default Changing font size on desktop

I am having trouble changing the font size on the desktop after getting a new
monitor and changing the resolution to 1280X1024. How do I do this in Win98?

So in Win98, changing the Icon to "large" also changes the font size?

No.
There is no option for "large" in the item: Icon in Control
Panel-Display-Appearance tab.
Change the font size for Icon.

I was able to change the icons to "large icons" by checking the box; however,
when I go to settings and change the font to "large", there is no change in
the size of the fonts on my desktop. I run WinXP on my computers, but am
trying to help my mother with hers.

Thanks,
Norma

What you may have in XP has nothing to do with Win98.

Please read my responses carefully.
What I recommended has nothing to do with "large icons" and you are in
the wrong area. There is no box called "large icons" to check where I
suggested.
My icon font is fairly standard at Size 32. There is NO "large"
option.


Please try again.
