    Hi missy. First I see Antonio (Pro driver) posting on G4 Tech support, and then find you here. Good to run into old friends after such a time.

    First , what do you mean by "Reboot". Do you mean you just shut down and restarted your computer? Or do you mean you reinstalled windows?

    If you reinstalled windows, then chances are you need to reinstall your video card drivers. Do you know what video card you have? Nvidia or ATI? If not , we can use Everest Home edition to figure it out.

    If you justshut down and restarted and suddenly things are the wrong size and won't change, then it probably means that the video card driver got corrupted.

    There are several approaches.

    One is to go to start => programs => accessories => system tools => system restore

    Click "Restore my computer to a previous state"

    choose the most recent date for which there is a restore point from before this started (the restore points should be bold )

    It won't alter your data , emails, or pictures; just restore the drivers, registry , and windows files that were in use back on that date.

    Another approach is to go to control panel => system => hardware => device manager

    Locate "Display adapters "

    Click the + to expand and write down what it has listed there (so if we need to find drivers we know what we are looking for)

    Then select your video card (ask if you have questions ) it will probably be nvidia... or Ati... or Intel....

    and click "remove"

    this will uninstall the drivers for it and remove its entry from the list of installed hardware.

    Now restart your computer and windows will detect it, and search for the best drivers it can find (at which point it should find the backup copy ) and install them. Then the right click on the desktop=> properties => settings should work.

    Also, to change the text size in Internet Explorer ( and many other browsers) just hold down the CTRL key and move your scroll wheel on your mouse . One way makes text larger, one makes it smaller.

    When you get the size you like, release the ctrl key and close the browser and reopen it and it should remember that setting.

    Hey Pete how are you boy!!!! oh its been so long to have heard from you,,,and yes i have already tried the ctrl thing and nothing happens ,,will try the other a little llater,,i had to reinstall windows and nothing is working real good yet

    so i'll be back and yes already registered at the 2 groups you're on

    will be back have to go gotta plat

    wait for me

    love missy51633

  2. Howdy Missy, see if this will help.

    In IE look in the upper right hand corner of your browser is there 2 >> A's with an arrow under them ?? If so click it and see if you have the option to make print larger or smaller. It should give you the options of larger,largest,medium,small and smallest, check the one you would like.

    Let me know if that helps ??

    Chuck

    chuck i cannot find any 2>> as you are describing in IE,,,maybe im looking in wrong place,do i go to tools to do this ,or do i open ie and look there,it only shows what upgrades in it box about 6x7 size or do i click on the whole page???

    iam assuming that the briser is where you type address at when looking for something? there is no little 2>> s om page anywhere

    thanks missy51633

  7. Well, as most of you know I have had a lot of deaths in my family and with friends these past two years! I have been to more funerals then I can count with both of my hands...

    Now I fly out to Winnipeg from Ontario to go to another funeral and the 1st funeral I will attend to this year and surely not the last!

    My friend of years from Manitoba was at a New Years Party and got shot and pronounced dead at the scene, a bullet went clean through his heart from the back, he was 19 years old...

    Wow, I can't believe this is happening to me again, his dad and him(Ryan) lived together for his whole life with out there mother/wife (was divorced).... He took Ryan and raised him and treated him like a king, now his one and only son is no longer with him...

    Damn I feel so bad for Mike (the father).... I hate feeling this way!!!! Why does people I know have to die I will never know... Makes me scared I will be next...

    I've said it plenty of times on these boards....

    Live life to the fullest, you never know when it's your turn!!

    Just wanted to get this post out on a few boards to get some prayers for his dad...

    Thanks

    Tyme

  12. i got sp2 installed on this computer gatewayxp and all sems to be going well but,then again when you don't know anything about something like sp2 you're running blind,only thing is it stops.puts up a block on my little yellow running man,aol/aim? and also has a pop up blocker at top of page /site i visit and 1 on the bottom,,the top 1 is alright but the one at bottom annoys me because i can't pull up the page to see the bottom line,and when i click on the one at bottom it ask me if i want to turn off the pop up blocker,,i dont want to turn it off i want to hide it and just have one at top so i can see the last line,i have tried to raise the page by the little arror with mouse but wont do it,refuses to raise it any more,but then again too much of raise will put red x where you click off at out of sight,,but if anything else is wrong i dont know it yet, will post if i find more,,ha,ha,ha,ha, dont know what im looking for tho
