change fonts, windows 8? !!!

Ive tried to change my font for one another font that I found on a website but nothing I try works... Help, please!

Hi Chris,

I want to let you know that you cannot change the default font used for items in Windows, however, you can enlarge all text (and other things like icons) on your screen, or you can change the size of the text to specific items without changing the size of anything else on the screen.

See the article:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/make-text-screen-larger-smaller

To install a new font on your PC, first you need to download from a Web site. Once the policy is downloaded, right-click the font you want to install, then click on install.
Please note: you can also install a font by dragging in the fonts in Control Panel.

Important: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

Visit the Microsoft typography Web site to find a list of distributors of fonts. Some distributors give their fonts for free.

Let us know if it helps.

    I am running Windows 7. When Firefox starts the message that arrives the color scheme has been changed to Windows 7 Basic. The message then continues to talk about the incompatible program. When I close Firefox to the colors return to normal. It has just begun to happen.

    Check that you are not running Firefox in compatibility, or with a reduced screen resolution mode.

    For days now with no success, I tried to update Windows 8 (64-bit) for Windows 8.1 a Satellite C875-153 (PSCBCE-03H002FR)
    I open a new thread as none of yarns available on this forum helped me, or my research on the web.

    * 1 error *-I have ' sort of ' figure is:
    -> * 8.1 Windows update fails with error 0xC1900101 - 0 x 30018 *.

    I followed all the steps, in the proper order, this guide from Toshiba, but it did not help to resolve the error:

    I then followed the recommendation of this thread and has been 'temporarily' able to update OS Win 8.1:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=296594

    Step that worked for me was to remove the network cable during installation windows 8.1 as suggested by user "RandyRoberts".

    * 2nd error: *.

    *-> Windows 8.1 hangs and the system has attempted to restore changes to Windows 8 *.
    By disconnecting the network cable, I was able to complete the update of Windows 8.1 and run it temporarily.

    As soon as I reconnect the network cable and reconnect on the web, the computer crashes and restarts.
    I guess Windows 8.1 strives to check license status and then refuse to turn it on.
    Windows ends up trying to restore changes and back to Windows 8.

    He hangs on reboot and refuses to recharge the previous operating system (Windows 8), leaving me on a screen with the options of couple. At this stage, I can only get the picture of the plant to be able to restart the system.

    These measurements were made on an OS freshly reinstalled with no additional software.
    All updates and the steps have been followed and recheck several times. I'm runnning last BIOS available.
    I have already backed up all my data and burned the recovery disks.

    Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions.

  • changing font of text in slide show

    Is there a way to change fonts for text in slide show? I used to be able to get around it in iphoto by pasting of text written in a Word doc, but the new photo app doesn't let me do. Just, it converts all the boring white lucinda text.  Any ideas? Be also great to be able to offset the text where in the slideshow according to coloring in a picture.  I would have thought that the new photo app will give you more options, very frustrating.

    My laptop X 220 happened two days ago and the (before going on the desktop) login screen has changed black background with the word THINK of the plain background of Windows 7.

    Within two days I got my computer, I was in love with the black background with the word THINK every time I signed in my computer. Just as I got back I wish. Is it possible to return to this screen?

    Probably you have changed your Windows theme. One option would be to return to theme Thinkpad. Otherwise you could follow this article:

  • Correct procedure to change the Windows password

    This is similar to the post http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board=SpecialInterestsUtilities&message=3111&query.id=101... but I'm not looking for a workaround solution. I'm looking for the right way to avoid the problem.

    When I changed my Windows password in Windows and restarted, the first thing he did was ask me after that I spent my finger. He said that he wanted changed in the security of the client system. I entered the password and it erased, and then connected. After the start, another window pops up asking my Windows password for the security solution client. I entered, but this was rejected. I tried again, rejected. I tried again using any password that I use. All rejected. Maj CapsLock and numlock off the coast.

    Fortunately, I was able to cancel out of it. I changed my password to the original and then restarted. The same claims were held, but he agreed the old passwords. I am in control, but with my original password. Phew!

    Then... What is the correct way to do it? Client security rejects the new password. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

    Thanks for your help!

    I found a solution in case anyone else comes across this. It may be the best or only one, but it worked...

    (1) disable Security TPM. Do the reset, etc.

    (2) use the control panel Windows users to change your password.

    (3) turn on the TPM secure. Do the reset and the new password asked a couple of times.

  • 30-day wait to change the Windows Live ID on Xbox Live Gamertags?

    I've been through all the hoops with Microsoft customer service. He began by calling me and asking if it was possible for them to change my windows live id that was linked to my gamertag because the account e-mail was more active for me. They told me that they couldn't do it for me but I could. However, the problem is, I have an email account active and a long time ago, I have enclosed a gamertag that I no longer use this email.

    Gamertag active - Inactive e-mail
    Gamertag inactive - Active email

    For those that told me by phone to make a new email, bind it to windows live and then go on my xbox and edit them there. All right, how long that would take? After all the new accounts and download my xbox profile for my xbox, I finally got all the information typed with my controller when I learned that I have to wait 30 days...

    I have to wait 30 days because the windows live ID is new, even if the xbox account, I try to send to it is of silver and apparently cancelled. So I went online to discuss support. Here, I have been informed that the expectation of 30 days is to prevent theft... 30 days to prevent theft of my own account. I can see the logic, but 30 days for a perfectly legitimate action is unacceptable. I informed the support agent cat that I had all the necessary information for them to watch and to see clearly that the two accounts are legally mine. Again, I was told that they couldn't do anything. They were kind enough to give me a free month of service and told me to come here.

    You can do here? I look at all the questions that are asked here and none of them are part of a related issue xbox at all. I'm hoping to get this resolved as soon as 30 days. I had my xbox account spent 8 years...

    To sum it all, but here's what I have:

    Account Xbox 1 - account Email 1
    Account Xbox 2 - 2 email account
    Email account of three.

    I want it to be like this:

    Account Xbox 1 - 2 email account
    Account Xbox 2 - 3 e-mail account
    1 email account

    And I have to wait 30 days long. Thanks for reading all this, I know it was a wall of text.

    (PS. I do not know what forums would be best for this... Xbox is not in the list... I tried to tell the agent of live chat, but they told me again and again it's a question of Live ID only...)
