In other words, you are using Internet Explorer, and it's text is hard to
read in certain frames, or "boxes"? If you open a .txt file in Notepad, is
that hard to read? If you open a .doc file in Word, is that hard to read?
Give two or three examples of "all programs"...

As to Internet Explorer, try this. Go to (on the Command Bar) Tools >
Internet Options. Click on the Fonts button, on the General tab. For
"Webpage font", chose "Verdana". For "Plain text font", choose "Lucida
Console". Click OK. Now click on the Accessibility button. Make sure
there are no checkmarks next to any of the choices. If there are, uncheck
them. Click OK. Close Internet Properties. On the Command Bar, Click on
Page > Text Size, and make a selection that you like. For example, if you
are reading this Newsgroup in Internet Explorer, change the size to Large.
If you don't like that choice, you can change it back. Let me know how this
works for you...
