  • Icons and images are distorted. Only happens in firefox. The reset does not help.

    Hey there,

    So today when I opened Firefox, this is what she looked like. Icons and images are distorted. Text is fine, the scrolling is fine. And this only happens in Firefox (i.e. other programs on my computer, including other browsers are fine).

    No idea what it is and how to fix it?

    Thank you.

    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. As this feature has been added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there are still some problems.

    You will need to restart Firefox before this takes effect so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).

    Then perform the following steps:

    1. Click the menu button

      then select the Options under Windows or Preferences on Mac or Linux.

    2. Select the Advanced Panel, then on the general tab.
    3. Uncheck the use hardware acceleration when available.
    4. Restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.

    This solve your problems? Please report to us!

    Hello.

    Whenever we start to use our computer, the screen goes black and the message 'Auto adjust is in Prgress'. Then, all of our screen is small and all the icons and pages are smaller than before.

    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.

  • Vista on the computer using hp laptop and when office comes to the screen after start, all icons and programs are amplified.

    This just happened to new start-up of three days. Prior to this time everything worked very well. Also it some dialog boxes asking to click to launch an application platform that we know nothing about. We have looked for answers and went to the Control Panel, easy access and off Magnifier. But it is magnified. All icons and applications and the magnified programs.are. No new programs have been installed, no fonts won't changed, none of the DPI changed by us. . Some have suggested to go into the registry, but I'm not here. There are available restore points to restore. I don't know why there are no restore points.  Even went in safe mode and couldn't find the restore point. Our solutions may be next = copy data, use the restore disk, and all reinstall. GOSH, there must be an easier than treatment... Or go to the computer repair shop. Suggestions? Please, I beg you!

    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.

    For example, 640 × 480 is a lower screen resolution, and 1600 × 1200 is higher. CRT monitors generally display a resolution of 800 × 600 or 1024 × 768. LCD monitors can better support the higher resolutions. If you can increase your screen resolution depends on the size and capability of your monitor and the type of video card you have.

    Text and images are sharper and smaller at high screen resolutions
    Text is larger and easier to read at low screen resolutions, but images are rasterized and number of items adapted to the screen
    1. Open display settings by clicking on the button start , by clicking on Control Panel, appearance and personalization, clickingPersonalization and then clicking display settings.

    2. Under resolution, move the slider to the desired resolution, then clickApply.

    Notes
    • When you change the screen resolution, it affects all users who log on the computer.

    • When you set your monitor to a screen resolution that it will not support, the screen will go black for a few seconds while the monitor returns to the original resolution

    PNG is not the best possible format for images for printing, but much will depend on how the printing will be done. In general terms, printing images must be much higher tose Quen resolution used for screen display. To print on a desktop device you will want to "effective" resolution (resolution to the size, it will be printed, not the size, it has been saved) somewhere around 150-200 dpi for continuous-tone images. The press usually to 250-350 ppi. Line art must be in the range of 1200 dpi.

    Text is colored by applying a sample or using the color Panel. If you look at the color chart or the color Panel, or next to the colored boxes to the bottoom of the Toolbox, you will see a pair of buttons, one that looks like a T and another that looks like a square. When the T key on the color will be applied to the text. When the sqare button is active, it will apply to the frame. The two colored boxes represent the (solid box) fill color and stroke color (hollow box) and the one in front is active, similar to the foreground/background in Photoshop.

    Color for printing is quite tricky and depends on the method of printing once more. On a desktop device or a color copier, you can be pretty free with what you use (but don't expect an exact match for a spot color - or any other color if your monitor isn't calibrated and you don't have an output profile good - but this is a whole different debate), but on a press, you use either CMYK , which requires 4 plates and costly for small series or tones, each of them also require a separate plate, but are ideal for the type of color and logos.

    Take the advice of Bob. Spend time to Lynda.com and try to learn as much as you can about printing, too, if you want to work in color. More you know about the ink on paper easier design and the use of will become ID. If you can find a class at the local Community College or adult education, try also. InDesign is in fact a very complex program.
