Reset of oversized IPR (488%) in Windows XP

The DPI setting in my laptop (Windows XP) HP has been set by mistake to 488% - this translates grosslyover size pages - I tried to access the property page view to restore the DPI setting, but because of the excessive size I can't move around the page to access the buttons of activation for re - initialize the normal DPI setting - I can't move pages in advice either - all welcome

Hi Ross Palmer,

Welcome to the Microsoft Community and forums thanks for posting the question.

According to the description, you can not reset the PPP settings because of the oversized pages. Please answer a few questions to refine the question.

1. are you aware of changes to the computer before the show?

2. What is the brand and model of the computer?

3. What is the current resolution on the computer?

Method 1:


Step 1:
I suggest you to change the resolution of the screen on normal mode and try to change the DPI settings.

Step 2: You can start the computer in safe mode and try to change the ppp settings.

  • Pavillion M4-1006tx: 10 Windows reset on a laptop pre-installed Windows 8

    Hello

    M4-1006tx Pavilion my laptop came with pre-installed Windows 8. I have upgraded to Windows 10 last July and now I would like to reset this installation of WIndows 10. I discovered that there are 2 methods to do a reset:

    1. in the "settings" inside Windows 10 frame and choose the reset option

    2. thanks to the recovery of the system (F11).

    If I choose to reset through F11, it will install Windows back 8 or 10 Windows instead? As it happens with Windows pre-installed 8.

    And if I choose to reset settings of Windows 10, will it suffer no problem at reset?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    To answer your questions in order:

    1. the option reset under will reinstall Windows 10 - it is impossible to say if you would run in any problems using this method, but it still does not work for everyone.

    2. the option to access the Recovery Manager via F11 at startup would normally be to reinstall the original operating system (Windows 8), but it will not work now as a upgrade to Windows 10 breaks this feature - if you want to reinstall Windows 8, you must use the recovery media (disk or flash drive) that you created when you bought first Notepad - a guide on the reinstallation of Windows 8 of the recovery media can be found on the following link.

    Performing a HP System Recovery - Windows 8

    3. Fortunately, there is also an option at your disposal 3.  As long as the current installation of Windows 10 has activated Ok after upgrade from 8.1, you can simply perform a new installation of Windows 10 as stated in the guide on the following link.  Note: On the activation screen, select "I don't have a product key" - Windows will activate automatically once installation is complete.

  • How can I reset my forgotten administrator password for Windows 7, without a password reset disk?

    How can I reset my forgotten administrator password for Windows 7, without a password reset disk?

    There are a lot of options built into Windows to help you out of this situation:
    • Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
    • Log on to your account admin to spare, and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you set up an alternative admin account).
    • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
    • Use the password indicator (only works if an indicator was created and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
    • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)

  • YouTube is massively oversized in the firefox window?

    I am running windows 7 on a Lenovo ThinkPad. All my plug-ins are up-to-date. I've searched and searched, but no one seems to have had this problem!

    This could happen if you did use the 'zoom' on any page. To reset the zoom back level by default, press Ctrl + 0 (that's a zero). You must do this before you click on the drive, otherwise Flash will intercept the keyboard. Does make a difference?

  • Restore backup after the reset Time Capsule (1st generation) using Windows PC

    I apologize if this question is somewhere already. I tried to find an answer and I've seen similar discussions but not exactly what I need.

    A bit of history... The location is a small school with about 10 cameras, its network systems, point of sale, cloud networked storage, etc. Was asked by the owner to create or activate a Guest WiFi SSID. They said he worked at the same time, but some work was done by a previous technician and they lost the WiFi of comments.

    So I used the Airport utility to access the time Capsule. However, after the change to the next level (enable the public IP sharing? maybe?), he ended up destroying the entire network, as in nothing was back upward when the utility scanned for devices. Even the Time Capsule was not recognized by the utility. I ended up doing a hard reset on the Time Capsule and do my best to manually configure the device again, even though I was not initially designed the network. I have also discovered that 1st generation Time Capsules have no comments WiFi capabilities.

    To make a long story short (too late... "I know sorry..) .. I got most of the features, functions, etc. on the network back where they were before, with the exception of camera systems and a network storage device active cloud to the owner's House.  What I would like to know is... Since then, I understand that a hard reset does NOT erase the backup or other data on the shared disk in the time Capsule... is there an easy way to restore the settings of all of the time Capsule before the problem occurred?  I would need to do this using a Windows computer.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated. What I'm trying to avoid the most is having to reset all the cameras, which are upstairs, hard to reach areas. I guess that people who were previously assigned on the cameras must still be there. If only I could get the Capsule of time exactly where it was before he went down, which would allow me to save a lot of time and frustration.

    You can also (2nd choice)... If there is a simple way to detect the active network cameras and other devices on the Time Capsule and pull the IP out of them, that would be helpful as well.

    Thanks in advance for answers!

    You have my sympathy all...

    Been to this place before today... and I always get myself into it by pure stubbornness... I should just walk on some of these jobs and tell them too hard...!

    What you had to do was to export the configuration before you start playing. Without export of the configuration there is not much hope of healing to less than the previous tech saved a configuration to the unit... This example gets much delicate.

    The TC is actually able to contain several configurations... There is a good chance, however, that wipe you the.

    Anyway... coming to the serious Tin. (same version on Mac and PC utility should work the same).

    Here's my TC who foolishly a reset.

    When I do something... first manual configuration, I wonder is to revert to the previous version.

    You have done or could you saved the previous settings as a profile... I hope that you did... in the hope...!

    IF so, you have a saved profile.

    In the area of the top menu go in manage profiles.

    Now, if you are lucky or did the job just last time... by accident... you'll have a saved profile... Just click back.

    If nothing is there, or it's current settings... Sorry, but you didn't know something was there... and you cannot was expected to know the trouble you would get yourself in.

    If you have changed a setting in the TC of the bridge in router mode...

    (enable the public IP sharing? maybe?)

    Getting back to what it was... mode bridge being the most common.

    At the bridge of the TC does control most things... and you need to return to the main router.

    If the TC kicking upward a stench to return to the bridge, reset it simply still once and then bridge will work... It would be useful to loads to remember what was the setting... just to see the bridge takes the TC of the equation to know where the cameras are.

    If the cameras are on static IP, they will respond to a ping scanner... If the primary router is configured for a standard range of IP addresses... 192.168.1.xxx some.

    Then the TC in bridge must have also taken an ip address in this range and the cameras (Ethernet or wireless)?

    I hope that ethernet, but if they were using the TC as a wireless access point, unless you know exactly the SSID wireless as it was in the past then you do not have this info...

    Look at any computer, they have in the building that was running wireless and watch all the SSID that they use... one of these is likely the TC and you can restore this name.

    Or drop a camera... and ethernet allows to connect to him... and find the ssid, that it's been fixed... redefine the TC on this name (SSID) wireless security... all cameras must be able to connect to it... and you can then restore the entire system by connecting to the IP address that will be displayed in the list on the main router.

    Good luck.. as says Han Solo... you'll need!

  • Factory reset x 360 13-s121ds convertible windows 10

    13-s121ds convertible Windows hp 360 10 x, I received for Christmas, it was a gift.  I wanted a bigger screen, so I plan to return it to hsn for a larger 17-inch laptop.

    I installed a few items and saved the laptop before I changed my mind.  So I read all the instructions to factory reset this new laptop, but none of this does not work.  The new laptop came on a windows 10 platform, so all the instructions are for windows 8, which looks a bit different.  I have a 500 GB external drive vacuum that this laptop would not recognize in order to create the recovery disk/partition.  the f11 option will not find the partition created by HP, and I am aware that I don't need a windows recovery, but I need a discount for the HP original until I return the new portable software to a larger factory.

    Why can't I find a simple solution?  I have an external storage drive, it wouldn't recognize or use it, I did the F11 option and hoped it would recognise the recovery already partitioned option, nothing wants to work.  Please help, I have until 31/01/16 to return this laptop for the above-mentioned trade.

    Recovery will not use an external hard drive. There's a flash drive. However I would try if possible partition recovery.

  • E-mail/password reset for an xbox 360. Windows Live support is me misleading to their moderators, etc. I need some help here!

    I need a password reset on an old e-mail account linked to my xbox 360. (the enamel of related Xbox Live account). However after going around in circles with the xbox and Windows Live support person will help me. I have provided more than enough evidence that its me (old/new address, debit card info AND xbox console ID AND serial number for information). And I am NOT to START a NEW GAMERTAG due the fact that I have spent money under my current gamertag. Now they are misleading me to the moderators of Windows with this problem. So now what?

    E-mail bellsouth.net and its related help/support page has since been purchased, reformatted and dissolved for their new name like ATnT. Their support tech/operators won't help me as well since it is a problem of bellsouth and not an ATnT. But the email is bellsouth.

    I can't do any kind of password reset because I forgot my secret question answer. A mistake in good faith, but one that keeps this issue to be resolved. I have provided a list of answers to him but still no help and I keep getting turned down and rejected.

    Windows answers forums are for technical problems and we do not have any control over the resets password for all Windows, XBOX and Windows LIve accounts.

  • Envy 15-c101dx: 8.1 Windows reset always available after upgrade to Windows 10 and refreshment?

    I tried to troubleshoot and fix a driver of hareware problem that was discovered after doing the upgrade of Windows 10 Windows 8.1. Before updating my system, I was warned by the software that I would not be able to return to Windows 8.1 if I did the update with the upgrade of Windows 10 still installed. My question is if Windows 10 also stop me from going back to Windows 8 if I did a reset of the system?

    I played it safe and restored back to 8.1 for Windows before you reset this time, but this will delay upgrading me to Windows 10 in confidence (1 month to try it is not a lot of time).

    Hi @hyjiad.

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

    I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question on your HP ENVY x 2-computer laptop 15-c101dx and concerns with the Windows 10 upgrade. It shows me that your system is compatible with Windows 10 drivers. It tells you which driver he would have a problem with?

    The best I can offer at this point is to create your a HP recovery USB drive.

    Here is a link to Windows 10 FAQ. It gives you that Go Back is a feature that will restore your computer to the old operating system that was installed before you upgraded to Windows 10 for only 28 days. But with your recovery USB disk you can do at any point and time.

    I hope this helps you.

    Thank you.
