WINDOWS 98:

MAKE YOUR DIALOG BOXES SPEAK LOUDER

Windows tends to pop up so many dialog boxes, that it's easy to ignore them. If you would like to make such error messages
stand out a little more, you can make dialog boxes appear in a bigger,bolder way.

To do so, right-click anywhere on your desktop and choose "Properties" from the shortcut menu. Select the "Appearance" tab and select Message Box from the Item pull-down menu. Change the Font to Impact (or another bold font) and the Size to 11 or higher. You can also customize the colors to display more contrast. Click Apply and then OK to save changes.
