Small text size in the PC Applications and programs

Hello.

I'm having some trouble trying to read the TEXT in some of my PC applications. It does not happen in all the and can have a mix of large and small TEXT in a box (I've included a screenshot of my desktop to show an example).

I tried to fix this with the methods are: -.

  1. Settings in the appearance of control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Personalization\Window and Appearance\Advanced color
  2. Text control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Display\Screen Resolution\Make and other larger and smaller
  3. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes\MS Shell Dlg
  4. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes\MS Shell Dlg 2
  5. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts

Looking at the screenshot, the box " ""Taskbar and Start Menu Properties"" " you can see the text is fine to read! Below, right-click on the desktop, the box that opens is reading too! "Right out of the box beside it, the ' system properties ' is almost impossible to read without having to screen! Above this area is the "ASUS AI SUITE", you can see the text is small and the numbers are too. I can read about the column titles, but can not read temperatures, the rpm or tensions. Finally is the box ' PC PROBE II ', once again, a mixture of small and large text.

For the life of me, I don't understand why it started to happen, or when it started. I have not installed, changed or deleted something for awhile also.

Thank you.

OK, so after the abundance of aid, I using this community (sigh) I found a solution that seems to have worked, but still does not work for everyone! I didn't particularly want to, but ended up doing a system restore to an earlier date. This has created a new problem for me but my anti virus has stopped working and didn't so Firefox. They wouldn't work at all! So had to reinstall.

For those of you who land on this page with the same or similar problem, I found some info that may be useful, or maybe not! I will include links to pages that may help to explain how to check the weather or not the problem of the small and large text in dialog boxes are caused by changes in the registry... not on your browser, but on your PC.

  • Is there a way to increase the text size in Windows 8 applications?

    Is there a way to increase the text size in Windows 8 applications?

    I find the way to text size too small in most news reader applications.  Looks like you should be able to increase or decrease the text size the same thing you do in a browser using CTRL + or CTRL-, or your mouse wheel.

    You can increase the size of the text on the desktop, but it doesn't have any effect on the subway, or whatever you call it today.

    Probably, there should be a setting to increase the size of the text under settings of PC!

    IMO, I would probably find a lot of people out there wouldn't buy a W8 Tablet since the text is to small to read!  This has fixed as soon as POSSIBLE!

    Edit: I noticed that a lot of Apps is updated to help with this problem.  Unfortunately not on the main screen of App, if you select an item to read the improvement will become visible or selectable.

    Hello

    On the start screen simply type the word "police" and select the filter settings on the right.  You should see an option 'Make text and other items more or less '.  Click on that and adjust the text or at the desired size.

    These instructions don't change the DPI of the screen ratio when it is in the classic user of Windows interface. The new interface Windows username however does not change when this setting is changed (which, in itself, is rather unfortunate).

    The only way to change the font size of Windows apps Store is as follows:

    1. click on the Start button to get the new user of Windows interface

    2 start typing 'police' (without the quotes)

    3. click on "settings".

    4. click on "enlarge everything on your screen; This opens the settings of PC (which is different from the classic Configuration screen)

    5. set "Enlarge everything on your screen" on it.

    Personally, I still find it too small for a lot of apps, but it's a small improvement on the default settings.

    No application of cc, no clouds. It's the simple truth here. Programs cannot operate without him, since he controls the installation and licensing. the rest, we do not know, since you have not provided any useful technical information. Start by reading this (yet?):

  • Transfer all of the data files and program from old computer (Vista) to new computer (Windows 7)

    I've been using a Dell xps 420, 32-bit Vista since 2008. I just bought a new Dell xps-8700, 64-bit with windows 7 preinstalled. I would like to transfer all THE DATA, SETTINGS AND PROGRAMS from my old computer to the new computer. I bought a cable easy transfer of Dell for windows, xp, vista, windows 7 and 8. I read somewhere that the method of cable will transfer all my installed programs. Is this true?

    Can someone give me the better, easier and faster method available. At least give me a step by step procedure for this task.

    No, it won't, it will transfer personal files and settings. You will have to reinstall your applications from the original installation files or install CDs and DVDs.

    Can someone give me the better, easier and faster method available. At least give me a step by step procedure for this task.

    If you really want to move your applications to the Vista computer, you will need to buy a commercial programs such as Laplink PC Mover that will allow you to move your programs:

  • Renewal of my membership CC, payments made, but all applications and programs have disappeared.

    Hi all

    I renewed my membership full CC on 6 January of this year.  Payment of 45UKP taken by Adobe.  All access to all CC programs disappeared.  When I connect it tells me I have one year subscription, but when I tried to download any program it tells me that I left the 0 days of my free trial and I wonder if I want to buy the product. I contacted Adobe customer support chat, they have no idea what is the problem and so just lie - telling someone will contact me by email and the problem will be solved within 24 hours.  No one ever contacted me.

    Last conversation:

    Sidibé: I will increase the cases to the relevant team and our team will contact you by email within 2-3 days and resolve the issue.

    Colin Munro: Which is really not good enough. This happened for two weeks now. Told me almost a week she was refitted and someone would contact me. I did not. I paid for the product and I need to use it now. I need someone to contact me today.

    Sidibé: Let me check.

    Colin Munro: thank you

    Sidibé: I see that your case is still in process and however I put a reminder that our team will contact you within 24 hours.

    Sidibé: Number of cases: 0217575866

    Colin Munro: Through process person never has looked at him yet?

    Sidibé: No, means process, our team works closely with the question and we will contact you back as soon as the problem is solved.

    Colin Munro: If that was the case, then the bare minimum, I would have expected is someone sent me and informed me about this. It is really really poor service. 

    Sidibé: I apologize for the inconvenience.

    Sidibé: Since our relevant is always present in the case which is why you don't have any email.

    Colin Munro: I would like a team dealing with this email me now and confirm this please

    Sidibé: However our competent team will contact you by e-mail within 24 hours.

    Sidibé: I assure you that our team will contact you by e-mail within 24 hours.


    Of course, nothing has been heard of Adobe, and I still have no access to the products that I am paying.  Any help much appreciated.

  • I lost all the photos, files and programs, can someone help me please?

    I did a system restore (I think) and lost all the photos, files and programs.  Can someone tell me please how do I get back them?

    Lillie

    Looks like your user profile has been corrupted in some way and XP connected to a new profile.  This means that when you connect, you see one of your stuff and can be also lack all the other programs you may have installed previously.

    Note that the system restore do not know or care about the personal files on your system.

    Unless there's a disaster or instead of a system restore you done a system recovery files would be still on your system somewhere - you just find them... and when you find them, you can correct what happened.  If you have made a recovery of the system instead of a system restore, then all is lost and you need to recover from a backup.

    Have you performed a search of Windows to see if you can find some of these photos and files?    For example, you could search for something like "Resume.doc" or a file name that you remember exactly to see if it is anywhere on your system and where it is.

    Why don't you get in Windows Explorer and (assuming that XP is installed on your C drive), navigate to this folder:

    C:\Documents and Settings

    Below, you will see that each user on your system has their own folder for their personal belongings.  You will see also some folders listed user that you do not recognize, but that's normal.

    Under the folder of each user, there is another folder, as "Documents of Jose" and under this 'Jose music' and «De Jose Pictures»  Dig a little and check them all to see if you can find your missing stuff.

    Just take a look in the Control Panel, add/remove programs to see if "missing" programs are still installed, but all not available when you are logged in (you don't have to 'do' something - just look at).

    Assuming that you can find your missing stuff, determine where we (which will make feel you better knowing that it is not really gone), then report back and someone can help you straighten things.

  • Could not get the Source monitor and program to display together

    Hi, I use Premiere Pro constantly for about 6 or 7 years and have never had problems with the monitors Source and program appearing side by side in my workspace.  I've recently updated to CC and, in addition to having one monitor 'fixed' and a sudden 'floating' (I've unable to paste the two up, but would have a run on my second monitor) it was working OK. The last two days, I can't set both monitors. I double click on a clip in the project, and it is not displayed anywhere.

    My preference is to set the workspace to imitate CS5.5, but this option is sorting is no longer the problem.  I'm trying to go back to the previous workspace and it tells me that there is not.  I tried control boxes and uncheck the menu window. Any help would be appreciated.

    Source monitor.jpg

    Source monitor can normally be added to any 'panel' by clicking on the Panel, then in the menu dropdown you show, by clicking on the Source monitor... then navigate to it by selecting the tab is in the Panel that was highlighted when you clicked.

    You can change the panels by "entering" a title as source or scopes or whatnot too and drag in or to another palette, with the possibility of having always appear (for example, if you then release in the area left highlighted a Panel, you drag in) to the left of other things in the control panel... or if you say leave in the Middle then it displays when you select the tab at the top of the Panel. Others cover it when you click on the tabs. I think that the help pages following (they aren't long) could you get:

  • Size of the SWF file and Rollover text problem

    Hello and thanks in advance for any input.

    Two problems...

    1. size of the SWF file

    I did a small enough (at least in my eyes its small) flash site. However, when even it is really not much content, the swf file is already 2.4 mb and I have yet to finish. It loads fine on my internet speed, but im worried general users with slower internet connection. Y at - it something that I should get the size of the file (if all goes well without comprimising quality).

    2 text buttons (video Clips)

    Function rollover (event listener) for MCs containing the text continues to run when the mouse is over the button. That is he is not treating the text as a button box, his processor only as a button, while you ride between a letter and another, the reversal is re - define and restarts.

    The Swf file is here.

    And the FLA is here. * Edit *-how can I get this fla to you guys? This doesn't seem to work when I try to download the file - it gives just a fla.txt file?

    Thank you.

  • Text and the size of the image - computer and Mobile

    The size of the text for the h1 and the footer on the website, we have created using Dreamweaver CS6 seems well seen with a computer in Firefox, Chrome and IE, but it is really big compared to the text in the sidebar1″ and the menu bar on an iPhone.  On an iPhone, the text reduced properly sidebar1″ and bar menus spry, but don't spread as you wait for h1 or footer, language which means that the page to be very long.

    Using the CSS panel, we set the font size of 11 pt and 100% h1 and it does make a difference.

    Also an image in the sidebar is still large and runs outside the sidebar seen on an iPhone and an Android tablet.  We have removed the width and height in the hope he could solve the problem and allow the image to shrink compared to the sidebar, but it didn't.   You can provide any help would be great!

    PT is for printing. Try to use pixels instead.  12pt is about 16px.
