The appearance of my desktop, the size of widgets, and font sizes, the size of documents, etc. have changed suddenly

Since recently update my computer the appearance of my widgets for office incl., of Web sites, document files, email same icons have changed everything. For example, internet sites fill the entire screen, the fonts in the document files are all different, everything has changed. Can anyone help? And can someone please explain to me what is NVIDIA? Could it be the root of my problems?

Hello

NVIDIA is a manufacturer of motherboard chipsets and video cards. Your problem is probably related to the latter. If you see an error message mentioning Nvidia, please report it returns with the exact phrase.

Otherwise, I would first check the resolution (control/customize/display of the settings panel, move the slider to the right). If no option to change it is available, you will need to download and install a new set of display by the manufacturer drivers.

  • Why the brightness of the screen on my Tablet keep changing suddenly?

    Why the brightness of the screen on my Tablet keep changing suddenly?

    Some tablets have a light sensor Adaptive that detects the actual brightness in the room and adjusts the brightness of the screen accordingly.  If the light hitting the sensor is constantly changing, or if you accidentally cover this sensor with your hand or thumb, it can fool the sensor into thinking that you are in a room dark and it will lower the brightness on the screen.

    In Windows 8, the Adaptive brightness setting is enabled by default.  You may be able to prevent unwanted changes in the brightness of the screen by deactivating the Adaptive brightness setting.

    1. on the home screen, type Control Panel , and select the control panel.

    2. set the display: drop-down category menu

    3. Select the material and audio.

    4. Select Power Options.

    5. Select the link Edit plan settings on your current power plan

    6. Select change advanced power settings

    7. develop the display

    Hello

    Firefox on Windows is now after display, scaling options that can make the biggest text on screens at high resolution.
    You can adjust the resolution of your screen.
    To change it follow these steps:

    • Type of topic: config in the Firefox address bar and hit the Enter key.
    • If the warning that this might void your warranty , click I'll be careful, I promised.
    • Search for layout.css.devPixelsPerPx

    • Double-click layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to edit its value. The default value is - 1.0 in Firefox 22 and above. Change it to 1.0 to run as in previous versions of Firefox.

    If necessary, further adjust the value of 0.1 or 0.05. Values between 1.0 and around 0.5 to reduce the size of the elements. Use a value greater than 1.0 to increase the size. For example, a value of 1.25 will increase the font size of the 125% to account for the default DPI setting in Windows 8. Check the value that you enter. Definition of a value that is too small will take everything away and too high will explode things.

    If the web pages should always be adjusted so you can watch the extension Default FullZoom Level or NoSquint .

    To adjust the font size for the user interface, you can use the extension of theme font & size changer .

    This solve your problems? Please report to us!

    Thank you.

  • The appearance of my desktop has changed. The font type is smaller.

    Why would change the appearance of my desktop?  Everything is smaller, even on Facebook, etc.

    Hello

    Ok. If we are talking about smaller type face which can be adjusted as described in the following links until the screen seems acceptable to you.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/make-the-text-on-your-screen-larger-or-smaller

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/ways-to-improve-display-quality

    If ALL literally got the smaller on the screen, it seems that the resolution has been increased.  The answer would then be reduced how the resolution - here are:

    Open display settings by clicking the Start button. Select Control Panel, then choose "Customize" then choose "change display settings.

    Whatever it is fixed to, choose a lower resolution will increase the size of all the elements on the screen by reducing the resolution. Adjust the display to a resolution where you are comfortable with the size of the icons and elements on the screen and you should be good to go.

    Hope this helps,

  • How can I get rid of the surf canyon Add ons when there is no option "delete"? I have it turned off, but it still appears on my desktop.

    I get a window of surf canyon to appear on my desktop. I checked in my control panel and features program and it does not appear there. I checked in firefox, tools, add ons and, it seems, but it is disabled. There is no option to "remove" as there is for other add ons. And, even if it presents as being disabled, the window keeps popping up. How can I get rid of this?

    According to a screen shot I've seen online, when you are in the Control Panel, uninstall a program, you are looking for is called Fast Search. It might be easier to click on the column heading "installed on" to bring the most recent infections, I mean additions, upward. I hope that here uninstallation will remove the Firefox and IE as well.

    Hello

    There are two ways to adjust the size of your icons.

    1. a click right a box empty office, move the cursor to view, then select medium or small icons here.

    2 move the cursor to an existing desktop icon (to call the trash), left click once to highlight and then use your keyboard scrolling feature to manually adjust the size.

    Greg,

    Claes has pretty much nailed. You will do well to spend time to learn how Lightroom works. He is not like most software that you've used before, and if you don't understand what it does and how it does, you stand a good chance of losing your images.

    Try googling 'Lightroom tutorials' or 'get started in Lightroom. It's not rocket science, but it's different.
