Select 'Graphics Options' (maybe Properties - I'm not on Win 7 at the moment).

You will get the dialogue box for your graphics adapter. These vary, so you need to find 'Screen Resolution' and make the numbers smaller.
ie if it's say 1680 x 1050 try it on 1440 x 900. Your numbers may not be exactly like this, I have a 16:10 screen, but you'll need to do a bit of trial and error to get it how you like it.

If text is still too small, go into Control Panel, Personalize and look for Font size setting.
