Something on my computer went wacko today and I need some help in fixing it. When I turned my computer back on today, the <b>apparent</b> "font size" was too large. Does that make sense? I'm having to scroll too much to read each and every page. I used to get more of the webpage on the screen than I do now. Somehow I must have done this, but I don't know how. Does anyone know how to adjust my settings so as to make surfing more easy? Thanks for your help!
I tried that but it didn't result in the change I was looking for. There was some minor change. I was set on medium and went to smallest for slight improvement. On second thought, I'll shut down my browsers and come back up and take a look.... As best I can recall (my son had done this for me), the re-calibration was done as an expression of some percentage, i.e. 33%.
I'm back. About the same. The text size thing helped but not enough. There is some underlying change that I must need to make. It may have something to do with running a "simple" browser. I know that wording is not proper. The thing crashed and when I re-booted I came to a point where I was defaulted to a "skeletal" (another mis-nomer) browser that was simpler and less complicated. How do I get back to a more normal configuration?
Thanks that helped! One thing still. My "window" does not fill up my screen; there's a black box around three sides (top, bottom, and left edge). How do I correct that?
Use your monitor's adjustment buttons to get rid of the black area. More specifically, there should be 4 settings you probably will need to adjust : horizontal size, horizontal position, vertical size, and vertical position.
How do those things work. I can pull up a MENU and course thru it but effect no changes. The directional buttons on the monitor do nothing....
Another detail: the Outlook Express looks fine; it fills the screen. Only the IE window is shrunk to about 70% of the area. Would that indicate it is not a problem with the monitor?
Try going to where you changed your resolution and hit the advanced button. There should be a monitor tab, click on that and change the refresh frequency to at least 75 mhz depending on how good your monitor is.
I got it back! The problem was that I have a 17" monitor and the above resolution must be for a 15" or something. When I took it to a larger size, normal function returned. So far! Thanks for all your help... all of you!
