My grandson was playing with the keyboard and all my icons and web pages are now huge. I had this happen before, but I can't remember how to reset it. Any help? I went through properties and all that it is fine. It has something to do with the keyboard and an F key and control or ALT.

Hi Sashaxwp,

To get small icons in your Start menu

Click Start on the taskbar, and then select Properties from the context menu.
Ensure that the selected option of Start Menu as ist and click Customize to the right of the Start Menu option.
This will display the Customize Start Menu dialog box.
Use the Option Select an icon of Sice to Programms and now select small icons

To configure your display appearance, wants to get small icons on your desktop

Right click on an open area of the desktop and select Properties.
Click the appearance tab.
Click on 'effects' (in my Version of XP in German), perhaps you will need to click on Advanced.

In my XP there is a "huge symbols" choice, if you have this choice, remove the hook.

Good luck and have a nice day!

Kind regards

Rainer

  • I have copy of old tbird and seamonkey e-mail files with the files and emails for each. I need to add to new tbird install. can not find a way to do it. Help

    I have copy of old tbird and seamonkey e-mail files with the files and emails for each. I need to add to new tbird install. can not find a way to do it. HELP PLEASE. previous e-mail files are under mail then mail.earthlink* .net and each of the five mail .net is an email address I have. I can't find a way to identify each file by email to the specific email address (IE mail.my E-mail name.net) so I can copy the files and emails from the past to the email addresses now under tbird. previous installed e-mail identities may not be the current configuration of e-mail files in tbird. I think that I must be sure that mail.name.net matches the previous mail.name.net to be able to copy and paste the old to the new. is there a way to find the file name correct the old email and correspond to the new? all my emails very important information are mostly in the old mail electronic id and must be available in the identification of email again (but same) how can I do this?

  • System Restore with the keyboard and the mouse works do not and do not know admin password

    I recently decided to update my drivers on my 9 year old bridge. Apparently the program that I used to do didn't realize a bad driver when he sees... Sort of my keyboard and mouse not responding while windows was loaded. They work enough for me to access the bios, enter the menu start and also when I hit enter to boot from a windows cd.
    I'm trying to access my restore points to get rid of the driver that has been installed. Unfortunately when I put the windows CD and try the repair option I can't log on to the volume because it requires an administrator password. I tried Admin admin admin admin and leave blank. I even ran a program to reset passwords (I do not use any which way.) still cannot log on to the volume. I also tried to pass in front of the screen to repair and installation of windows to fix this. I can hit escape and pgup and pgdown but not f8 to agree to the agreement.
    When I boot in safe mode with command prompt that it still forces me to click on an account to connect. Which I can't because the keyboard and the mouse do not work when windows is loaded.
    I can't get to the command prompt to display the box to help restore points?

    Regarding the password administrator there are chances that you must have defined and now you don't remember or if the bridge keep some default password. You can also contact the Support Technology Gateway for help on the issue.

    Hello

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

    Hello world
    I just installed XP SP2 on my Satellite L40 (BTW thanks to all of you who helped me overcome the problems during this operation with your son), but I have a problem with my keyboard. I have a QWERTY keyboard and after I installed xp, he worked as a qwerty, I fixed it, now all my letters are working very well, but I have some problems with certain symbols, such as @,., _, if you understand me.

    Could someone help me?

    I also have problems with my audio, in fact I have no sound at all, in the Panel, he said that there is no audio device found.
    I've seen a few threads which said that I should first install kb888111 and another thing is likely, but I can't find the other. I downloaded the audio driver from the toshiba Web site; Thank you for helping me in this area also.

    Good bye

    I have the same problem with the sound... I found hotfix kb888111 and I instaled this one... but when I tried to start installing driver sound a window popup say thet there is an error and cannot continue with the installation driver...
    I found hotfix kb888111 in this file that i have downloaded from the toshiba site: english\sound driver\mshdqfe\win2k_xp\us\kb888111xps2...
    I don't know what to do... Someone else knows...

  • I changed my password, but in Germany, I was writing with English keyboard and it changed while I was writing and so I was stuck

    OK - I got the address: * email address is removed from the privacy * with the password: (removed) - but when I was in Germany for 3 weeks, I tried to enter my msn hotmail, but the laptop is the English version of types, so it changed automatically from German to English and I was writin the wrong password... I changed this password: Suggestion69 - but I have had no connection, then I made a new addess: * e-mail address is removed from the privacy * and I can go in msn - how can I recover my hotmail account address? or can give back you the old address: * email address is removed from privacy? *
    I'm sorry, I know, I'm very stupid, but sometimes my computer makes me crazy...
    The other post:

    Sorry, I'll try again: my first hotmail address is: * e-mail address is removed from the privacy * and during my vacation in Germany (I live in Thailand 3 years now), I had only my laptop with English types, so when I wrote, sometimes he changed German drafting, englishwriting, tha means, that I made mistakes, when I want to account my msn hotmail... also I got free comics here with Tchibo - stick and it is why I haave had problems to enter my account...
    I made a new address: * email address is removed from the privacy *-this address works, but how do I get my address book of * address email is removed from the privacy * to * address email is removed from privacy? *

    But if it is possibel to get back the old an address: * email address is removed from the privacy * (last passwords: (deleted)) it would be the best, when you open my old account...

  • New Wireless Desktop 800 with no transceiver - what can I do with the keyboard and mouse?

    I have a MS Wireless desktop 800. After a week, I broke the mini transceiver and bought a new game. Since the first set keyboard and mouse are matched at the factory and cannot be re-synched, I find myself with essentially a new keyboard and mouse that I can't use. I wouldn't throw out - they are brand new. Is this WHAT can I do with them?

    Hello

    There is no suggestion that we can do to solve this problem.

    It's specific hardware of matching which can only be solved through software.
