Everything on my computer screen appear larger than normal
I unplugged my computer about 4 days ago to take a trip with me. When I restarted my computer all on my computer including my background, websites, icons, aim, etc. displayed more large and more distortion than normal. The zoom level is 100% normal. This has happened in the past, but once I restarted my computer, my screen is always returned to normal. I would like to know how to fix this because I restarted my computer about 3 or 4 times, but everything that appears on my screen is still distorted and higher than normal.
Hello Swils117,
Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.
If you haven't tried these steps, that give a try.
1 / right click on a free part of the Office
2 / in the drop down menu, click the view option
3 / according to the context menu, click one of the following options:
- Large icons
- Medium-sized icons
- Classic icons
The classic icons option will reduce the size the most. Please let me know if that solved your problem or if you are still having problems.

Screen display - higher than normal desktop icons
Somehow my settings of the screen has changed. When I started, the desktop icons were larger than normal. Go to e-mail, Internet... each screen display was became wider. Circles now resembled ovals. I have to scroll to the right to see what is out there. How can I change the display of the screen so that I can see the entire screen without scrolling to the right?
Hello
There are a few things you can try:
Change the resolution of the screen;
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/change-screen-resolution
If that fixed it, go to the website of your computer manufacturer > drivers download Section > then key in your computer model number > find your operating system > find two graphics / video or from the Chipset drivers and download and install.
Then try to change the screen resolution.
Or do a system restore to before that happened.

my desktop icons are larger than normal, how can I make the smaller
Right click on the desktop and click on views and there should be three options for selecting the size of the icons. If they are too big, choose one of the smaller options and see if it suits you better.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

Why does my signature appear clearer than normal text?
I typed in my signature, as noted, but it does not appear as the "body text" or the same as the body of my emails that I type. He appears as a footer and is lighter than normal text.
Thunderbird shows after the separator of signature (dashboard dashboard entered space) in gray. Maybe others don't have the right signature delimiter? Note that the signature is not physically changed in gray text in the outgoing email, it is just a matter of how Thunderbird displays it.

f you have an LCD monitor you will need to know what is the native resolution (recommended); see the monitor documentation or visit the site of the manufacturer of the monitor to the specifications.
To change your screen resolution
http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/display_change_screen_resolution.mspx?mfr=trueChange the resolution of your monitor
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-XP/help/Setup/change-monitor-resolutionThe resolution must be set correctly or changing it does not correct the situation, you may reinstall or update your drivers for video cards ("I think I got something that I shouldn't").
Visit the computer manufacturer support site, and then search for updated video drivers for your specific computer model and version of Windows XP (family or professional edition) and for professionals either 32-bit or 64-bit (Windows XP Home Edition was available in 32 - bit).
If you have a dedicated graphics card 'map', visit the support site of manufacturers of card drivers for this specific video card and your version of Windows and so on.

It seems to be only the work and perspectives
How can I disable it?
Try this first for the underscore, etc.. Make sure that Outlook and Word are not open. Then search for normal.dot and email.dot file. You can use the advanced search parameters and allow the search for system files / hidden. If normal.dot and email.dot files appear in the search results, remove them. Word and Outlook will recreate the default template files, when the programs are then started. Now restart Word and Outlook and see if the problems have disappeared.

Hello
Difficulty of the access privileges on your USB. It is locked or you simply don't have the right to write about it. No application can write on it.
BTW: it is not a good idea to read or write from a USB key in Illustrator (or any software) directly. These sticks are just a nightmare in terms of data integrity and tend to become too often mistakes of R/W.
Save on your drive hard and then make a copy on the USB key.

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.
