My desktop computer should be resized. It is too large to fit on the desktop.

I assume you mean the image displayed on your screen...

Right-click anywhere on the desktop where there is no icon.  Choose the resolution of the screen.  Change the resolution to one that works for you.

In the selections you can make, you are limited by the capacity of your video output capacity.

  • Problems with the PhotoShop workspace [too large to fit the computer screen]

But you see in the screenshot PS tools and everything are so great that they run off the screen! All updates came through the creative cloud. Can anyone help?

  • When I bring my computer off "sleep mode", I don't see any icons on the desktop, that my background image.

    original title: malfunction of the sleep...

    When I bring my computer off "sleep mode", I don't see any icons on the desktop, that my background image. I can't get back them, and the only thing to do is to give my computer a re-starting difficult.  I just bought this computer last year and fear that this hard-restart is damage. What the hell is happening? What is the point of having the "sleep mode" if it limits my activity once I re - enable the computer?

    Kill process > explorer.exe from the Task Manager.

    Copy a copy of explorer.exe from a stable machine fresh and clean.

    Paste in: C:\WINDOWS\

    Replace existing explorer.exe.

    Problem should be solved.

    If this is not the case, change the registry should be applied.

    Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    ____________________________________________________________

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    __________________________________________________________

  • Why should I Resize Windows Media Player, whenever I open it?

    Why should I Resize Windows Media Player, whenever I open it?

    First of all, I apologize because clearly, nobody else here knows what you're feeling :)

    The problem is in fact a function: If you open a file (such as a video) directly, WMP opens directly to the ' Now Playing ' screen to display the video (the video can not be displayed in library mode where it lists all the files).  It is locked, you cannot change this behavior (because I'm sure you would agree, everyone would complain if they could not see a video playing every time they played, of course!)

    But what you can do, there's WMP to always be the size you want!

    (1) play a video in WMP.
    (2) while the video plays, click anywhere in the video and uncheck the option 'Fit Player to video'.

    WMP will attempt is no longer to adjust its size whenever a video is played.

  • I have 2 versions of windows vista running on my computer. One is before it crashed and it took all the RAM (Ram)

    I can't clean the discs because I can't load any programs because the memory has faded.  So I can not put a page of my computer desktop or download programs, I need to get my images that I have on the other program running.  I can't open one of these programs because I don't have the authorization even if I was always the user and administrator.  What I would do.  Can I add more memory Ram?  Can I remove the old stuff that I can't open anyway.  DLLs etc.  I downloaded vista 2pr, but it does not work.

    Hello

    Here is the information from your other question here about it:

    "I can't collect any information of my system information page."  When I connect I get redirected to a page that asks me what version of vista I want to open.  One is Microsoft vista and the other is windows vista.  The Microsoft is the only one that works. The other takes me a blank page. »

    "I have 2 versions of windows vista running on my computer. One is before it crashed and it took all the RAM (Ram).

    I suggest that you save your data and reinstall the operating system properly.

    There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

    See what methos works for you.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  • Homegroup is very slow. Loading files from another computer is very long and I can't watch movies on the wireless using the homegroup.

    Group residential slow and other problems with it

    Hello!

    I have 3 Windows 7 PC-s (office #1, #2 desktop and laptop). I created HomeGroup and join all computers, so I can access the files on each of them. But my problem is the following: homegroup is very slow. Loading files from another computer is very long and I can't watch movies on the wireless using homegroup, because it is slow and every two seconds of loading film. And also needed a few minutes to open the pictures (more than 10 GB in all folders) to a folder in the other PC. Why is this work so slow? I don't think there is a problem with slow wireless router, because I can replace my old Linksys WRT54GL Linksys E4200, which is able to transfer video HD 3D such as Linksys provide. What should I do to fix this? Should I change all the settings in Windows, perhaps in the router...?
    And why my laptop is not always visible to the other PC to homegroup? He see two others and two other sees, but they are not portable. This happens sometimes. But then I still share with homegroup libraries to my laptop and there still other computers see it and all shared libraries. Where is the problem? I also try to change the HomeGroup services automatically, but this does not solve the problem.
    If I forgot something to write, or you need more information, do not hesitate to ask.
    I'd appreciate any help really.
