My screen went bold!

All icons are larger are fat. How can I fix?

Hi Francine,.

Thank you for taking the time to post.

You mean the size of the icons of Staples?

Right-click on a zone open to the Desktopaview if you are on large icons, change it to medium or classic, it helps?

What is the resolution of the screen on?

·         Right click on an open space on the desktop and select Customize

·         Select display settings

Here you can set the parameters to fix the problem?

Did this just happen? If so a system restore is an option for you?

http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx/KB/322756

Your monitor has a car you can press the control knob?

Would it be possible for you to get a screen shot of what you and or provide more information?

Please let us know.

Thank you

    I tried the clean boot and now the hard drive works simply and screen went black. The mouse still moves around the screen without any outher work keys? That is what it is?

    Hello

    You will need to reverse the clean boot, as it is either incidental compared to
    the real cause of the problem. What, where you try to fix initially using the cleanboot?

    You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If so you can try the configuration - control panel
    The Device Manager - graphics card - Double click on - driver tab - click the driver UPDATE - then
    Right click on the device and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

    Another method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure) is
    CTRL + ALT + DEL and the processes tab find EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - and then
    on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is reached
    by tapping F8 as you start several times.

    Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all patch is usually on a base hit or miss.
    That there is no information on a black screen as it is on a blue screen just adds to the
    Difficulty. Often using a restore point or Startup Repair will have no effect. You can try a
    Google to see the proposed repairs, whom some have worked however these cover a wide
    field efforts.

    Here's a video of one of them.

  • iPhone screen went black

    my iphone 5 s screen went black and the phone is still on and rings when people call me, what could be the problem and how can we solve this problem?

    It may be a hardware problem. If it is a software problem, then a hard reset will solve it. Press and hold the power button (also known as the Sleep / Wake button) and the Home button for at least 10 seconds. If the Apple logo appears on the screen, it's a software crash.

  • The button on my lockscreen does not work on my phone. Recently, my screen went completely black. I can turn on siri. How can I get my screen to turn back?

    My 5 IPhone lockscreen button does not work so I use touch help to the screen power off and screenshot. As I was using my phone my screen went completely black. I tried to plug it into a charger and call but the screen still won't turn. My phone vibrates when I call and I can't turn on siri. I tried to search the Internet on how to re-enable it. Everything I've seen involves using the screen lock button but obviously I can not use it. How do I reactivate it?

    Hello tumbler3100,

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

    I understand that your iPhone screen is returned while you were using it and the on/standby button does more either. Because your iPhone is always vibrate when you call and you are able to use Siri, it seems there is a problem with the backlight on your iPhone.

    Because you have a separate hardware two related issues going on with your iPhone, I suggest putting your iPhone in an Apple Retail Store or Apple authorized service for an assessment of your device provider. More information about these options can be found in the following link.

  • Satellite M70-340: screen went completely blue or black

    Hello world
    I just bougth a portable Satellite M70-340 and twice tonight screen entered a single color (black once, once blue) and although I could still hear the windows work (I could hear the Windows alert sounds and alerts by MSN mail), the screen went completely blue or black. I assume that the error is caused by a problem of display driver, so I downloaded the latest driver present Intel on this site. I don't know if it will work.

    My question is, did this happen to someone of you? How did you solve this problem? And even though I have an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Mobile, I could install the ATI driver on this site? (I prefer ATI driver since it is out of date.)

    Thank you all for your interest,
    Best regards.

    I guess you have mobile Intel graphics card. In this case, you can only use the graphic driver intel from the Toshiba page or are also website of intel.

    But you cannot use the ATI graphics driver! You laptop has ATI No. graphics card!

    However, you suggested that it is a new laptop. I would recommend to contact Toshiba service partner in your country. The guarantee is valid and you should take it!

Suggestions please. I also have a problem with my mousepad being spread upward and is not quite work right.

  • I was running Mozilla firefox on my computer until two weeks ago. At that time, the screen went black and now I am not able to use it.

    I was running Mozilla firefox on my computer until two weeks ago. At that time, the screen went black and now I am not able to use it.  When I click on the icon and open to the top it says cannot load xp.com and a flag of resolution comes up saying it can't run a resolution less than 1930 x 2300. I have no idea what this means and how I can solve this problem.  I thought that maybe the application was bad, so I deleted and then added it back on and it does the same thing.  I even did a restore of the system to try hard but nothing I did the work.  So, how can I solve this problem.  I'm not a computer genius, so he must be explained in simple easy to understand instructions.

  • HP Photosmart 7515: Touch screen went black

    Printer works very well at the outbreak of the computer,

    but the touch screen went black, permanently.

    No matter how much I press, it stays black.

    I disconnected and reconnected.

    Downloaded a new driver that allows me to trigger the scan of the computer,

    but I can't fax.

    Is this a driver problem, a hardware problem...?  Don't know which firmware is.

    Hi @lenny15,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums from the HP Support! I understand the touch screen on your HP Photosmart 7515 is completely black, you are able to print from the computer, but can not access the front control panel.

    I would like that perform you a Hard Reset on the PS 7515:

    1. disconnect all cables and cards of memory in the printer. Unplug the power cord, directly from the back of the printer when the printer is still on.

    2. unplug the other end of the power cord.

    3. If there is a power supply on the power cord, disconnect one end and reconnect it.

    4. at the end of 60 seconds, plug it directly into a wall outlet (not a surge protector or battery backup because they can cause the printer to lose over time basic functionality).

    5. connect the power cord to the back of the printer.

    6. the printer should automatically power back upward. If not, turn it on with the power button.

    7. try to make a photocopy (if your printer is a printer all in one) before you connect the cables from the printer.

    8. connect the other cables needed to the printer.

    If after the hard reset, you are still not able to access the Control Panel, I suggest that call you our technical support at the 800-474-6836. If you do not live in the United States / Canada region, please click the link below to get help from your region number. http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/contact-HP/WW-phone-assist.html
