Display has changed with the last update

I turned on my computer this morning and I saw that an update has been installed, now everything is displayed more small.  My shortcut icons are smaller, the fonts on explore are smaller, even when I rebooted I still had the same problem

Restore point:

http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If the above does not fix it:

Go to the Web site of the manufacturer of your laptop computer-graphics/computer card > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Vista drivers > download/install them.

Then:

Change the screen resolution

Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

Understand the Extras in Windows Vista and Windows Update info is at the link above.

You might want to change how you get updates:

Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Vista will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.

Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want. This option should really be reserved for people who know exactly which updates they need, or those who have little access to the Internet.

See you soon.

  • British English chosen for keyboard but my @ above the number 2 has changed "since the last Update. He want to come back...

    Since the last OS update two or three days ago my pre-selected keyboard has changed.  They keyboard watch my @ sign is greater than the number 2 - and it has always been up to was last updated.  Now he has changed places with the "display sign beside the semicolon key.;  I have UK chosen as my favorite keyboard, but this seems to be too governed by something else. How can I fix this to what it was?

    If you go to System Preferences-> keyboard-> input methods is your keyboard the value 'British' or 'British PC?'

  • When right-clicking on a link and a window opens, I want it ask me "Open Link in New Window" first of all, not the second. This has changed in the last update.

    So I got allows you to right-click on a link and go the first option and open this link in a new window.
    I don't not like tabs, or use them.
    The latest update or version of Firefox has changed this and now
    Open the link in a new tab first, then
    Open the link in a new window.
    My question is, how can I change this back to the way it was.
    Thank you very much
    TREV

    My problem is the opposite of the OP, but the result is the same. Years of the use of previous versions of Firefox have conditioned me to open links in a new tab by selecting the second choice of right click menu without looking. After a week of trying to readjust in places reversed 'Open link in a new window' and "Open link in a new tab", I'm always unintentionally opening new windows instead of tabs every time after time. The point is, why should I have to adjust (or need a plugin external to solve your problem). YOU TEACHES ME HOW to DO THIS WAY, then why you changed it? Do you think that the reversal is most effective? A task force of new users select the new range? Do you have a taste of trial with Pepsi? Have you adopted Microsoft 'we know what you want better than you' policy? People in the drive of England on the left side of the road with the steering wheel on the right. Maybe it's actually a better way to do it. Maybe we should just rethink all cars new American model in this way and reverse all the signs from one day to the next without any warning - no ads, no choice, do it just because the engineers decided that it is better. While we're here, maybe you should adopt menu 'Ribbon' of MS then. I do sound a little angry or like if I have too much time on my hands? If so, it is because I am and I do not have enough to relearn the same tasks whenever you think of a better way to perform a basic operation. I'm sick of being 'improved' perfectly feasible programs to offers no improvement, only the need for a conversion.

  • HPCM error - definition model has changed since the last calculation

    Hello world

    I have a bit of a problem on an application Coordinator.

    (1) message warning when I go to balancing-> "model has changed since the last calculation."
    (2) message when I select cube considered in balancing-> 'the database has not been updated with the latest results of calculation."

    What has been done before I got to this point:

    (1) add a few lev 0 members in the current hierarchy for cost center
    (2) run a comparison to check if they are picked up (OK!)
    3) deploy EPMA (result: SUCCESSFUL message)
    4) go to HPCM and deploy the two cubes (OK-> at least is what the status of the job)
    (5) control of new members in OTL (OK! they are there)
    (6) the HPCM Calc launch, check the box to erase all data of calc prev, check the box to regenerate calcs, check the box to transfer data to the reporting cube.
    result: employment status: OK!

    But in reality: never got transferred through to the reporting cube.

    I repeated steps 1 through 6, a few times, I even changed something in the (alias) shared library to check if it went through.
    In EPMA it says that the app is 'in sync with the deployment. And when I run a comparison with deployed application, it does not pick up anything.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Kind regards
    Annie

    Hello world

    Just realised I never came back with the answer to my question. I was developing the new application and starts the compilation of the Calc sequentially, so while I was developing Calc for step 2 or 3, rebuild only those scripts are calculate only the specific areas. This is the reason why I received this message. As soon as I transferred both apps and recalculated at the beginning, the error message disappeared.
    Just in case someone wondered.

    See you soon,.

  • Drag and drop from Illustrator to Photoshop not working only not with the last update... Any ideas that can do about it?

    For example, I have a file of newspaper advertising open (as in Illustrator) .ai and I want to use the logo from here and place it in a .psd file (banner that I do in Photoshop). Before that I selected just Illustrator logo/layer and drag droped to Photoshop. This logo would be recognized as a smart object in Photoshop. Now, this is not possible. I'm working on Windows 10 x 64 and this problem occurred with the last update of Photoshop.

    Please see the article below relates to the last update for Photoshop.

  • Photoshop no longer works with the last update

    It is constantly freezing and I can't get any work done at all. Does anyone else have this problem? It began with the last update CC. I hate that we are paying for a product that is not 24/7 support.

    Hi Ktgilead,

    Allows you to restore Preferences quickly by using a keyboard shortcut: press and hold Alt + Ctrl + Shift (Windows) or Option + command + shift (Mac OS) when you start Photoshop. You are prompted to Remove thesettings. New Preferences files are created the next time you start Photoshop.

  • Lost all my tabs open with the last update

    I've updated Firefox with your last update of security and since then Firefox would freeze with a script error when I tried to go to one of my tabs. I followed the troubleshooting instructions and he created a "Old Data" folder in my office, but the new page of Firefox did not my tabs. How can I get back them? Can I cancel the update and return to the previous state of Firefox before the update?

    (edited to replace labels with tabs - c)

    Thank you all for trying to help. Here's what needs to be done to solve the problem when Firefox is installed on a mac. When you tried to reset your profile, note that there is a folder created in your desktop called 'Old Foxfire Data' or similar to this one. It contains all the data that has been cleaned up in the new profile. Delete the Firefox application and download a new application of Foxfire. Then launch Firefox. When open go in the tab 'Help', above. It's the last of them. Once you click on help, then click on "troubleshooting information. The first section is called "Basic application". In this section, click on the tab "show in Finder". It will display your profile folder. It starts with a letter and then a bunch of numbers and letters. But it will contain '.default' and some other figures. Now go to the first folder in your office called old data Foxfire and open it. Note that it will also have a similar profile folder. Open it and go to this folder copy all 80 more files. Now go to the new profile folder, open it and paste all files in this folder from backup profile to the profile folder. Click Yes to replace all the files that you paste into the new profile folder. That's all. Close, close and restart Firefox. You will have all your history, bookmarks and any label that you had open before the crash. Also, I say stop mac and restarted the computer, so that all possible conflicts would be eliminated. PS: The deletion of your profile folder and paste the old folder in its place it will not work! You need to replace all of the files in the new folder with the files from your profile in the old data folder.

  • With the last update auto-fill in frequently used email addresses were significantly slower to the point is now a nuisance.

    When you send e-mail to the same people over and over Thunderbird starts automatically what you guess after just a few keystrokes.

    For example, if I type js it will before semi-automatic [email protected] and I won't have to type something more.
    In the last update, the performance has regressed to what was instant now a few tenths of a second and is a big nuisance.
    Now I type in js and click on enter I just get js. If I type js and then pause for a moment and then fills semi-automatic.

    Can you if you please correct it.

    I don't think you should have concerns about installing MoreFunctionsForAddressBookbecause it's an add-on well known and widely used.

    It is unlikely that Mozilla will cancel the changes, but it may be months or years before they solve the problem. If the combination of the add-on and the CT 31 does not for you, it is always possible to reinstall the previous version:

  • Fonts and icons in Photoshop still too weak in IPR systems high even with the last update!

    Come on Adobe! Autodesk, Google, Piriform, Microsoft, Corel Draw and many others have already set the question put on the scale in high resolution systems.

    Fonts and icons in the entire UI in Photoshop CC are still tiny after the last update, with the exception of drop-down menus. And the 200% scale in the experimental features that makes them too big. When are you going to fix this?

    Someone else knows how to fix this? I noticed there is a setting in preferences-> interface, there is an option to change the user interface fonts, it goes from small to big, but he does nothing...
