on the desktop and the names of the files in My Documents, the words are underlined

I am running XP, Sp 3;  IE8;  Email in Mozilla Thunderbird that I don't know if I checked the correct section; If this isn't the case, could you send it to the right place?  Thank you.

After a recent update of Windows, my computer went haywire.  Everything is affected.  I'll get a fixed thing, and something goes wrong.  Try to correct this, and the thing original mess up again.  Here is what happened.

1 got everywhere too small font sizes.  E-mails, documents, anywhere there is the text.

2. no don't fix takes care of everything.  The fonts changed for those unfamiliar in an e-mail, documents, office, where I used to have a type and font size for a page, it changes: the body of the email will be unique size, the toolbars and menu drop-down dialog boxes boxes another, each different section on the page is a different size and mixed fonts.

3. the last thing when I tried to fix something, is emphasized.  The text under the icons on the desktop are underlined.  In 'My Documents', the name of all the files and folders are underlined and the style of police and the size has changed.

4. at one point, I had the body of emails fixed (can't remember how); the next thing I know the text is on a PT. 6 I want to 12 or 10.  I started to email a few minutes ago and the text was so small, I couldn't read it so stopped.  When this happened, the toolbars and some of the other font sizes returned nearby, original or original.

It's midnight; I've been at this for hours and just, it's even worse.  There are probably other things wrong, but I'm so exhausted, I can't think.  I had hoped there was a magical place, I could go that would put everything back as it was before the update of Windows.  Please, can you help me?   Thank you very much.

I checked for viruses and I did not.

Hi AnnP1937,

You can try chaning windows fonts in Internet Explorer and check.

Method 1:

To change the size of the font in internet explorer, see the link below.

Internet Explorer Zoom lets you enlarge or reduce the view of a Web page. Unlike changing font size, zoom enlarges or reduces everything on the page, including text and images. You can zoom from 10% to 1000%.

Zoom in on a Web page

To change the font size of Windows, see the links:

To change your window fonts

To increase or decrease the size of objects and text on your screen

Adjust the display and appearance

If you're still having problems, then try a system restore and verify.

Method 2:

To run the system restore, try the steps:

a. Click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, click System Tools and then click System Restore.

Symantec Endpoint, Microsoft Security Essentials, or AVG will find viruses or problems with the computer. I spoke with the technology of Windows and he sent me the link to this page.

    You can try to rebuild the icon cache and check if it works properly.

    Click Start, click Control Panel, and write in the box search folders options.
    b. now, click on Folder Options to open and select folders and hidden files (dot).
    c. open a Windows Explorer window.
    d. go to C:\Users\(User Name) \AppData\Local
    e. right click on IconCache.db and click on delete.
    f. click Yes to confirm the deletion.
    NOTE: This deletes the file to the trash. It is safe to empty the trash when you are done.
    g. close the window.
    h. emptying the trash.
    i. restart the computer.
    j. When you come back, you will notice the size of the file IconCache.db is reduced, and the update is now the current date.
    NOTE: If for some reason, IconCache.db isn't there or the size has not changed, then you can just restart the computer again. You may need to restart a few times in some cases.
    k. icon cache will be rebuilt.

    Hope it solves the problem. For any other corresponding Windows help, do not hesitate to contact us and we will be happy to help you.

    You can try the following steps in case of problems with web pages:

    You can reload webpages and ignore the cache to refresh potentially stale or corrupt.

    • Hold down the SHIFT key and click the Reload button
    • Press 'Ctrl + F5' or 'Ctrl + Shift + R' (Windows, Linux)
    • Press 'Command + shift + R' (Mac)

    Clear the cache and delete cookies only from Web sites that cause problems.

    "Clear the Cache":

    • Firefox/tools > Options > advanced > network > content caching Web: 'clear now '.

    'Delete Cookies' sites causing problems:

    • Firefox/tools > Options > privacy > "Use the custom settings for history" > Cookies: "show the Cookies".

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

    • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

  • Just a simple print request gives me the impression of file and application name of output file.

    I am trying to set up a wireless printer samsung on a Linksys router for a Dell with Vista laptop.  When I send a test page it will go not to the printer... He's trying to "print to a file" asking and "Output File Name".  Why?

    Nelia,

    You may find that when you set up the printer first place it has been accidentally manually installed as a "print to file" rather than a printer real itself.

    My suggestion would be to uninstall all samsung software, remove the printer (start, devices and printers, right click on the printer-> remove) and then start again from scratch. Let us know how you go!

    Hello

    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 have to perhaps restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).

    Then perform the following steps:

    • Click on the orange top left Firefox button, then select the 'Options' button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to tools > Options.
    • In the Firefox options window, click the Advanced tab, and then select 'General '.
    • You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.
    • Now restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.

    In addition, please check the updates for your graphics driver by following the steps in the following knowledge base articles:
