• My desktop icons are HUGE!

  I have my own user account on the Windows Vista operating system.  My account has this problem.  The desktop icons are huge, about 4 times their normal size.  I tried the thing of scrolling mouse control, and change the DPI, neither works.  Does anyone have other ideas?  It's very frustrating, it has only been like this 2 days so I don't know what happened.  I have not downloaded anything new or go to Web sites that I have not visited.  Thanks for the help.

  Your desktop icons are probably assigned to the 'big '. To change back, do a right-click on the desktop, select "View" and choose "medium icons" or "classic icons".
  I hope it works for you.

  Change the screen resolution

  Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

  See you soon.

• The desktop icons are scattered after Windows updates

  I just applied the February patched to my laptop running vista Home premium. I now have a new icon on the bar called "intel graphics media accelerator driver for mobile' tasks and my desktop icons are scattered. What's past and how to fix it. I can't find mention of the graphics accelerator intel in the list of applied patches.

  Suggestions:

  1. go into "View Update history" > mark down the KB # of you February patch.
  2. If your Windows Update is set to Auto, change it to manual.
  3. do a system restore. Choose the date before you install the latest Windows Update as your restore point.
  4. If everything is back to normal after the system restore, ask a question in the Windows Update forum. Ask if this KB # is required to install or if you can ignore that.
  at the moment I am unable to go to the Windows Update forum. So I can't give you the link to the forum. You will have to do it yourself.
  5. soon you will receive the new update available. Check the update. If you find the same update you have problems with, don't install this one until you get the answers from experts in Windows Update.

  How to restore the system:
  Start button > Search box, type system restore > press the Enter key > uac prompt > click on choose a different restore point > next > select dates as your restore point, click
  > Next > finish
  To sit and wait. The machine restarts when it's done.

• The icons are blurred when size large.

  Recently, I've migrated to W7 from XP and the difference is everything to do huh... shock... Out of the box, it takes a little tinkering before it becomes bearable. One of the settings that I need is linked to icons.

  When the icons are huge (although probably 'normal size' for other people) they look washed out; not crispy. But when they are small, they look like if they were designed by an Impressionist painter. Don't get me wrong, I don't like the Impressionist paintings... in a Museum of fine arts. But I need clarity on my computer (just a tool). Old W3.11 icons can appear very 'yucky' and 'old fashioned' and maybe not to everybodys taste, but at least they were clear.

  For example: the 'Open folder' icon in a file Explorer resembles a yellow arrow pointing upwards and left disorder. (It took me a few days and another computer where the icons were huge to know that it was supposed to be a folder on the open side and sligtly). The icon of a zipped file is just a blur (a bit like an injection of ICT). A text file icon is just a white field with light grey edge that is barely visible or recognizable. Microsoft Office icons can be identified by their colors. But any other program that uses a fuzzy green icon could easily be confused with Excel...

  What I've done so far:
  -Check the calibration of the screen color, contrast, and brightness of the screen. I used to work with images and not easily convinced, but increases the clarity of icons ruined space color photos, so it wasn't an option.
  -Clean the screen. Not really necessary, given that I don't have a touch screen and use the mouse pointer to point to something on the screen and not a greasy finger.
  -Cleaned my glasses... No improvement.
  -Also, I checked my sight, and even if I don't probably are not eligible as a fighter pilot is about right.

  Then... Here's the question, and beware that on the computer on which I work: I don't have the admin rights.

  -Can I exchange all the default icons (folders, files, text, files, programs, etc.) for crisp and clear icons?
  -If Yes, how can I do that?

  Thank you

  PS: Increasing the size of the icon is not an option... I.m.h.o. it's just a waste of valuable space!

  I have it!

  In order to have sharp crisp icons: the font to 100% settings you NEED
  Adjustment of the police of the superior results of adjustment in Fuzzy icons. Checked!

  If the fonts in the menus are too small, then go into the control panel-personalization-> choose the color of the window and start clicking on follow-up to the 'window color and appearance' me to adjust the fonts of all menus to your liking.

  In numerous menu now fonts will increase... However: there are a lot of dialog boxes and places that will always show a smaller font size? For example: just press 'Start' in the lower left corner.

  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

  In my - probably not if - humble opinion, Microsoft could do that much easier...
  Just make the size of the icons regardless of the font size!
  (And Yes, I program a bit myself and am aware that can screw things up (allocation of space, the alignment of the text and icons, etc.), but these can probably be repaired by one or two lines of code).

  Given that I don't see anything menus native windows for me is kind of correct... I'll make that a test. Some heavier style modding is required to fix those windows errors, that may be feasible at home, but not at the office...

  Thanks for all the help!
  I learned a lot of things that I didn't know! ;-)
