When in the XP Mode can you change the display to make things on the screen appear larger since on my computer they are extremely small???

Can you post a screenshot of the problem you are experiencing? Although I have never used the XP mode in Windows 7, I do have experience with VMware Workstation and Unity, so I may be able to provide assistance.

Yeah, changing the DPI would probably be the best thing to do. Though, why do you want everything to be bigger? XP mode is a 1:1 pixel scale of the current Windows 7 screen resolution. If you want XP mode to be "bigger," you need to lower the screen resolution of the host computer (Windows 7).
