I have CS2 and the tool bar is too small. I have tried Preferences, General, and made the font to Large but nothing changed even after turning it off and pack on. I have contacted Adobe screen share help line and they couldn't help.

Use Windows Magnifier.  Hold down Windows Key +  plus sign.

Windows key + + (plus sign), increases text size.

Windows key + - (minus sign), reduces text size.

Ctrl + Alt + i inverts colors.

Windows key + ESC closes Magnifier.

If you using Windows 10 you can override Application high Resolution display handing and force Windows scaling onto CS2 using a windows shortcut presence in compatibility click Change high DPI settings

then check override high DPI scaling behavior and use the pulldown menu and choose System Enhanced.

    Right click on an empty area on your widows desktop and click on new then shortcut.

    then Browse

    browse  to your  CS2 Photoshop.exe in Program Files (x86) \Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2\ highlight it and click on OK

    CS3 is the closest one I have installed. Then click on next in create shortcut

    Type a name for the shortcur and click  Finish

    That should create a startup shortcut on your desktop for CS2, 

    Right click on that shortcut and click on Properties

    then click on the Compatibility tab  in Photoshop Cs2 Properties
