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.

I installed Vipre Antivirus and I lost all my desktop icons I removed Vipre still does not
The desktop icons? You have absolutely nothing on the screen? Or only some icons are missing?
Perhaps your desktop icons are hidden.
Right-click on the desktop, and then select view.
Under view, place a check on "show desktop icons".Any change?
See you soon!

I removed the toolbars and you can't get back them. I use Windows 7 OS
I can't get back my toolbars, and I don't have the option to choose "display". I clicked on each of them to remove to do a screen capture and thought I should be able to get back them when done, but I'm not finding something that will allow me to do.
This has happened
Don't know how many times

My screen is enlarged, and I can't get it down to normal size.
My computer screen is enlarged, and I can't get it back to normal size.
You have posted in a forum dedicated to comments on the Microsoft Answers forum site. More likely, however, your problem is with the resolution of the screen. Right-click on the desktop and select Properties, then adjust the size of the screen. There may also be more and less buttons on the front of your monitor that control the display size.

My Favorites disappeared after I chose Safe Mode, why and how can I get back them?
For some reason, a dialog box appeared when I tried to open Firefox. It never happened to me before. I had to choose Mode without failure or default. I chose Safe Mode and now all my favorites have disappeared! I don't know how to get out of this mode and none of the ways recommended to restore my bookmarks work. Help! Most of my work contacts were in the bookmarks. I'm sure that there was an update of Firefox within the last few days. I have Windows 7.
Did you create a new profile?
You can check if there are multiple profiles.

They did not appear this afternoon on startup.
I don't have a "display" in my Firefox tab option, so that the aid does not work for me.
After startup, your homepage in Firefox could appear like the image below.

my outlook express folders to go and how can I get back them?
Did a reinstall of XP home and then put upgraded to Office 2007 (and very sorry I did). Somewhere in the process of my outlook express window is devoid of everything except the last incoming messages. I've been in the menus and found no option to show or does not show files (i.e. sent, drafts, trash, etc.). I have noticed similar issues, but they seem to relate to lose existing e-mail stores, either incoming or outgoing. I'm looking for the structure of the folder itself.
BINGO! That's all, Bruce. I have never been in the subdirectory of layout and would not have thought to look there. Now, another question. I installed the backup utility and used a number of times before reinstall, save on a portable hard drive. However, when I go in the restore section, the file structure seems foreign to me and not completed. Do you know where I can find the old dbx files stored? Maybe I can find the old emails as well as the structure of file...?

See if this will display the options.
While displaying the message, at the top, look for a tiny arrow pointing down, just to the right of the Red (in my photo)! and the blue down arrow. Click on the small arrow and uncheck "Reduce the Ribbon."
