    Monitoring is done through your audio device, no hearing. When you updated your PC, playback of the audio device settings would have been reset. One of them includes the follow-up of the input jack, and that's what you need to restore. Since we do not know which audio device you use, it's all that we can tell you, except that if it is a device internal, you will need to open the volume control options and he change it.

  • Update of Firefox, and now all of the web pages and icons are inflated. How do I put back it as it was?

    Update of Firefox, and now all of the web pages and icons are inflated. How do I put back it as it was?

    Hello

    Firefox on Windows is now after display, scaling options that can make the biggest text on screens at high resolution.
    You can adjust the resolution of your screen.
    To change it follow these steps:

    • Type of topic: config in the Firefox address bar and hit the Enter key.
    • If the warning that this might void your warranty , click I'll be careful, I promised.
    • Search for layout.css.devPixelsPerPx

    • Double-click layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to edit its value. The default value is - 1.0 in Firefox 22 and above. Change it to 1.0 to run as in previous versions of Firefox.

    If necessary, further adjust the value of 0.1 or 0.05. Values between 1.0 and around 0.5 to reduce the size of the elements. Use a value greater than 1.0 to increase the size. For example, a value of 1.25 will increase the font size of the 125% to account for the default DPI setting in Windows 8. Check the value that you enter. Definition of a value that is too small will take everything away and too high will explode things.

    If the web pages should always be adjusted so you can watch the extension Default FullZoom Level or NoSquint .

    To adjust the font size for the user interface, you can use the extension of theme font & size changer .

    This solve your problems? Please report to us!

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Your Store account is independent of any installation of Windows 8. If you have downloaded or bought all the apps store, this information is saved in the store.

    To reinstall your applications after reinstalling.

    1. open the store and make sure that you are connected with your Store account (press the Windows key + I, then select your account).

    2 on the main screen, right click and select your applications on the top toolbar.

    3 in the drop-down Menus, select applications and the sort by name.

    4 in the results, click each application that you want to reinstall , and then click the icon to install the toolbar at the bottom.

    Note: If you have a very large number of applications to reinstall, select a few at a time to reinstall.

    • Click the gear icon and select apply to closed. Close the dialog box for information.

    Win 7 / 8 to win:
