• Margin of the setting screen

  My daughter hit a few keys and all of a sudden my screen shrunk in about 1 "on the left and right of the screen margins.  I still have my wallpaper on a regular basis, but the sides are black for about 1 "on each side, crush the icons of the screen upwards.  How I came to where my screen becomes completely to the left, right?

  Hi LaurenHC,

  Step 1: try to change the screen resolution to the resolution you want and check.

  Consult the following link:

  Change your screen resolution

  Step 2:

  This can also happen due to a change in the settings of the monitor.

  Try adjusting the monitor configuration (horizontal and vertical positioning) and check if it helps or try to make a flaw in the configuration of the monitor.

• My facebook page is really small on the screen, it has shrunk, he cannot return to the view

  my Facebook page has decreased, it is not full screen and you can not read. It's as if the entire page is half of my screen and is so tiny how I change it back to the view?

  Hi TraceyLynn,

  You can try using the Zoom. This will decrease the size of everything on the page. You can try to hit CTRL and + a few times to try it. CTRL and 0 it will return to normal size.

  If this isn't what you're looking for, you, you might want to look at some of the options in Firefox Accessibility features - make Firefox and web content work for all users . There is much good information in this article.

  Hope this helps!

• Desktop screen size shrunk

  original title: desktop screen size

  Size of desktop screen Vista declined 1 3/4 "on each side! Were not able to understand what has happened or how to fix it.

  Change your screen resolution and screen refresh rate the native resolution of the screen in question (as seen in your specifications.)  (There are clickable links in this sentence).

• my screen has shrunk from black on the edges

  my screen has decreased and there like 2 inches of black around the edges, its really annoying! Please can someone help?

  Hello

  It is probably descended from your display settings.

  You can right click Desktop and select Personalize. Click settings to display at the bottom. Try a higher setting which corresponds to what you monitor can handle.

  If for some reason, this does not work, your graphics driver may need to update.

  Click on start and type > devmgmt.msc

  In graphics cards are you looking for the adapter name and manufacturer. Go to the website of the company to download the latest driver for the adapter.

  I hope this helps!

• I Zoom my screen to get Firefox to expand horizontally into its old area. Do not need to do so before

  The screen has shrunk

  If you mean the content of the pages themselves, if have one of these extensions, default zoom level may be set too small.

  • Default FullZoom Level
  • NoSquint

  You can access your list of extensions and respective, dialogue Options here:

  Orange Firefox button or classic menu Tools > Modules > category: Extensions

  If you mean that the window of Firefox, can you describe what is happening more in detail?

• Presentation starts 5 "on the left side of the screen and shoot intellegence off-screen to the right.

  The top of my screen is normal: starts the toolbar 'File, Edit... '.

  The body of the screen during execution of Firefox - and as I type this message - is full of lite. The actual data: starting at the top of this page: "Firefox Help...". Request a new... ' etc. starts 5 1/4 in from the left of the page.

  It's as if Firefox had a larger page with the presentation moved to the right. This pushes the last normal, 5 "of the presentation off the screen.

  The end of the rite of the bar that starts with: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/

  is out of the page, for the facilities at the end of the rite are lost.

  Any presentation, including Amazon.com and Youtube.com are similarly pushed to the side of the rite of the 5 '' screen.

  I have no access to the rite more 5 "of any internet presentation.

  The sliders that up and down the presentation and the left / rite are off the screen.

  I shrunk the screen down so small, I can barely see the numbers: control panel\ display-settings-1920 by 1200. This gives the ILLUSION of the presentation, but still no centering sliders. With this setting, I can see the entire width of the Amazon. YouTube appears centered, with 4 1/4 "on both left and rite, but no edge sliders.

  I dropped the 'setting' of 1440 x 900.

  Lost about 3 "on the side of the Amazon rite; barely on the edge of the rite of Youtube.

  No local programming has a problem: Excel, photos, videos, Word, even Internet Explorer goes full page and centered.

  I uninstalled Firefox and downloaded fresh. He asked me to restart my computer, so I did not.

  I can provide photos (screenshots) of this phenomenon on request.

  -Open Firefox-> at the Menu help-> select "restart with disabled modules.

  Firefox closes, then it will open with Firefox comes from base. You can activate the Add-ons later. Check if its working.

• Dekstop icons and subpages shrunk after installation of the graphics card NVidia

  Original title: customization and office

  When installing an nvidia graphics card, I later discovered that my desktop icons and the subpages have shrunk. I tried different remedies like zoom etc, but nothing helped. Please, can someone help restore all icons and pages to their normal size? Thanks in advance.

  Looks like you've changed your screen resolution.

  Assuming that you have installed the drivers that came with your new video card, right-click on an empty space on the desktop and select Properties.  Then click on the settings tab.

  At the bottom left of the window, you will see a slider under "screen resolution."  Move it to the left decreases the resolution and increases the size of icons and text.  Move the slider to the right does the opposite.

  Note that if you have a flat screen LCD, the display driver would have chosen the resolution "native" of the monitor, which is usually the best choice - even though the icons may be too small for you.  LCD monitors can technically support the resolutions lower than their native resolution, but the image can be small, centered on the screen and fringed in black; or the image will be stretched.

• XP screen shrank and all larger icons... Difficulty?

• Will not except the wordpad window placement... is moving all over the screen.

  I have this annoying problem... I open a wordpad document and set the widnow investment that I love and that you close the document. When I re - open the document window has shrunk and moved to another part of the screen.

  Often the window will be very small... almost half the size of my screen.

  I know that I can use the properties to maximize the window always open to but I work with several documents simultaneously and need access to my other links and expanded running does not allow this.

  Is there a way to keep the wordpad to remember the location of the window?

  And while I'm on this subject, my excel 2000 does the same thing, but it slides to the top of the screen, each opening until the title bar is off the screen (I keep my taskbar at the top).

  Thanks in advance

  Go to start / Control Panel / folder Options / display and check the box next to remember each folder view settings.  If it is already done, this obviously won't work.

  I don't know what else to think.  This should not occur and there is no settings in Wordpad to control this type of behavior (or on the desktop also).

  As far as Excel goes, try to post the question on the Excel Forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/excslcreate/threads where experts in Excel will be happy to help you.  Maybe this solution will solve Wordpad as well.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• My text and fonts and the screen on AOL 9.6 is too small to read, I can fix it?

  I upgraded to AOL 9.6 and done a lot of cleanup work on my computer and when I signed to AOL 9.6 screen had shrunk, the text and icons had shrunken, far too small for an older person.  I know I deleted something I shouldn't.  I tried to use system restore and it does not work.  I can go to different places and make it large enough to read, but there are not left like that after I left and open the next time.

  the screen has shrunk, the text and icons have shrunk

  "Screen" do you mean window?  For example pressing F11 does change the part of your symptom?  If the text and icons it had shrunk could say that your IE magnification settings, then change your magnification affecting, for example, press Ctrl-0 and set it to normal or press Ctrl - + to zoom in even more.  BTW, none of these changes necessarily persist.  Usually change the size or your normal mode window, and then close in fact persist but some sites when running under windows (for example instead of tabs), try changing the size and position through scripting.  I am unaware of any ability to script to change the zoom setting, but judging by the problems people had with Hotmail, especially Google Chrome users, I guess it must be possible also.

• 6400 upgrade Hard Drive just SHRUNK... Once again!!!

  First of all let me state that I am ready to throw my computer and TWO 2, TWO Yes upgrade hard drives out of my 2nd floor window!

  OK, my wind is done, for now.

  I have an Inspiron 6400 with HDD 80 GB of origin (73.1 GB space.)  I wanted to go to a Western Digital 250 GB hard drive.  I bought the drive and cloned it.  My first attempt was a purchase Norton Ghost program (after the $150 for the reader, that's another $50 for the program) I cloned it from the laptop via a USB - SATA connection.  Everything seemed fine, until I swapped hard drives.  He got through the BIOS, no problem, then started to windows.  Immediately, it projected blue and that was that.  Swap return original hard drive, everything OK.  Put old drive in the spare computer/SATA slot and realized that the reader shrunk to 73.1 GB. . the SAME SIZE as the original drive.

  After days/weeks and literally probably 5 to 6 hours of troubleshooting, downloading about 4-5 programs, utilities, etc, and have EVERY single utility, test and program otherwise tell me the car was very good (less the fact that he was now 170 GB smaller) I thought that drive was simply bad then returned.  (After fighting with Tiger Direct, I had to return it directly to WD, but they at least sent me a replacement unit before that I had to return the first...  (where my 'two' drives))

  So I have the new, 2nd hard drive in hand and I say to myself that I would be the clone differently, from my desktop (Dell 690) who had a few ports SATA spare on it.  I cloned it with a different program and once again, everything seems to be okay.  It showed in my office.  This time, I've set manually the new disk partitions to what I end up with.)

  So I put the new, larger, cloned drive in the computer, booted and BAAM!  Exactly the same thing.  Blue screen stop...  And guess what... The drive is now 73.1 GB. . and once more, there is nothing I can do to bring back to 250 GB... any computer, software, utility, etc. I throw at it or throw it out in...

  Back to Western Digital... but this time, I don't know yet what to say or how to proceed.

  My questions are:

  1. What is happening and why I can't get a 250 GB drive in the machine.  (I can't find ANYWHERE a maximum limit of hard drive)

  2. any thoughts on how to get my drive to the correct size of declaration?

  I'm really steam it... I have never spent so much time on what should be a simple question in my 15 years and more and about 20 + systems of computers through my hands...

  Thanks in advance

  Blake
