Under "My AOL" in the AOL Toolbar, select Preferences.
Click on the WWW icon in the scrolling list on the left.
On the right, click on Advanced Settings. A dialog box will appear with a collection of controls on the right and a column of options on the left.
Select "Browser Display" on the left.
You can now set the Text Size for more comfortable reading.
Click the OK button in the Advanced Settings dialog box and then click the OK button in the Preferences dialog box

Does that work? I believe AOL lets you use other browers?
