a bigger monitor helps. If its an LCD, you need to run it at its native resolution. It will show up the clearest, and be easiest on your eyes.

Over time, you will adjust to everything being small.

800x600 is the absolute minimum that anybody should run, and is the default resolution that winxp starts with. 1024x768 is what most people are happy with. I personally like 1280x1024. For resolutions much higher than 1024x768, you may have issues. Your video card needs to support it, as well as your monitor.

To answer your question, invest in a larger monitor...19" at least. Running at 1024x768 should be less painful then.
