I recently purchased a new ASUS N56V with a gorgeous 3200 x 1800 display. My main purposes for this device was to do some heavy lifting on the the road with many of my professional applications. I was quickly discouraged when I first fired up Fireworks, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, and Illustrator to find that I needed a magnifying glass to see simple menu

    I feel that I have this issue.  I'm awaiting new glasses, but until then, I cannot easily see the menu and icons here on my laptop.  I don't know if it would be easier on my PC.  How can I change the settings to make all of the words easily?  I really want to get going on this to see if surface pattern design is something that would work for me.

    I don't have that kind of display, but I have read messages that say that old programs (anything except the latest Cloud versions) will not be updated to work with new hardware

    If you have a Cloud subscription, be sure you update to the latest versions

    If you have CS6 or earlier, the programs are no longer being updated

    You probably need to adjust the screen resolution to match the software.
