  Right click on desktop - customize - display settings - Set resolution.

  Right click on desktop - customize - display settings - top left adjust font size (DPI)

  CTRL + mouse wheel works ZOOM

  CTRL + and CTRL - work ZOOM in and out

  Your mouse/touchpad probably incorporates a ZOOM to it.

  Your system also has a magnifier built in which could be a problem - it can also often be programmed to work
  on mouse/keyboards.

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/125037-Magnifier-turn-off.html

  To see if your mouse/touchpad is set to ZOOM or enlarge use Control Panel - mouse.

  Keyboard/TouchPad/mouse probably also has Hotkey controls to verify with the help of machine to online system
  documentation and their forums, where appropriate.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-AU/Windows-Vista/change-screen-resolution

  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.

  See you soon.

• Whenever I have turn off my monitor, and then turn it back on, all my desktop icons are completely reorganized.

  This issue just started.  Whenever I have turn off my monitor and then turn it back on, all my desktop icons are completely reorganized.  This happens when my system goes into power saving mode, or whenever I have turn off the monitor.  Even if I turn it back on just 5 seconds later, all of my icons are not where they were previously.  Help!

  Suggestions:

  1 a simple way:
  . Right click on desktop > view > uncheck Auto arrange > check snap to grid.

  2. in a more elaborate way and actually a better way. I use this method I have over 150 shortcuts etc on my desk. I can't afford to have shortcuts/icons, rearranging themselves. I won't be able to find anything, if they do.
  Here is the tutorial:
  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/save-and-restore-desktop-icon-layout-in-Windows-Vista/

  Note: The method is not perfect, you can, after a while, have one or 2 icons on the spot. But it's easy to fix.

• The desktop icons are scattered after Windows updates

  I just applied the February patched to my laptop running vista Home premium. I now have a new icon on the bar called "intel graphics media accelerator driver for mobile' tasks and my desktop icons are scattered. What's past and how to fix it. I can't find mention of the graphics accelerator intel in the list of applied patches.

  Suggestions:

  1. go into "View Update history" > mark down the KB # of you February patch.
  2. If your Windows Update is set to Auto, change it to manual.
  3. do a system restore. Choose the date before you install the latest Windows Update as your restore point.
  4. If everything is back to normal after the system restore, ask a question in the Windows Update forum. Ask if this KB # is required to install or if you can ignore that.
  at the moment I am unable to go to the Windows Update forum. So I can't give you the link to the forum. You will have to do it yourself.
  5. soon you will receive the new update available. Check the update. If you find the same update you have problems with, don't install this one until you get the answers from experts in Windows Update.

  How to restore the system:
  Start button > Search box, type system restore > press the Enter key > uac prompt > click on choose a different restore point > next > select dates as your restore point, click
  > Next > finish
  To sit and wait. The machine restarts when it's done.
