the Ribbon in paint in windows 7 is too big, how do I make it smaller to get a larger space to work?

in the paint program 7 windows I can't do the smaller Ribbon to get a larger work surface.  How can I get the smaller Ribbon, but keep the tools?

I'm afraid that once you have minimized the Ribbon with Ctrl + F1 there is not much else you can do to win more vertical space. Zoom on the image is really the only alternative after only available zoom reports and which are a bit sparse.

As a free alternative, you might consider Paint.net that supports resizing of the selection with the move selection tool. There may be orders that will allow you to scroll and zoom in the middle of a drawing of drawing operation.

Download Paint.net

The system requirements are described on the download page.

    Hello

    You can still use the ENTER key to OK, do not click OK with the mouse cursor.

    There are a few things you can try:

    Change the resolution of the screen;

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/change-screen-resolution

    If that fixed it, go to the website of your computer manufacturer > drivers download Section > then key in your computer model number > find your operating system > find two graphics / video or from the Chipset drivers and download and install.

    Then try to change the screen resolution.

    Or do a system restore to before that happened.

    Hi andypily1,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers community.

    Try the steps one by one and check below.

    STEP 1:

    STEP 2:

    In most cases if the games are deleted from the computer files will remain on the computer.

    I suggest that you are looking for game files in the system32 folder.

    Later, click on Start menu click on run and type c:\\windows\system32 in the following search of the window for the file of games like free cell. If you get the files in the system32 folder then copy the file to c:\\program files\start menu\ later in the game folder.

    STEP 3:
    If fails it above steps, try a system restore to the point when the game was available on the computer.
     
    See the link below to learn how to perform the system restore.

  • A question about the program of paint on Windows 7

    I used old paint in Windows XP, hundreds of times, I've now updated for Win 7 and I am very disappointed in the new version of paint.
    In short, yes it has some new features, but generally he went back, big time.

    Let me explain.

    In the past, let's say you want to draw an object, a certain color, with Win XP, you just select a color and draw your object, now there's all this color 1, color 2. Yes, you can always get what you want to do, but it is much more tedious, much less intuitive.

    Another problem, the undo function (a very common tool) is hidden in one of the menus, you must drag to your command bar, even with the zoom in, Zoom out, yes they are there, but hidden away. WHY?

    A big, big problem in the system of color fill. In the past opens a GIF, say you had a large surface area, and it was all the one-colour, with a click, you can change the color. Try this in Windows 7, and when you save the image as a GIF file, you get all the grainy areas

    With granular fill means that the color cannot be changed again. (except everything clear and re - fill which is darn time consuing, or save the image under a 256 color bitmap. The problem with bitmap, is there a huge file to GIF format size. NOT HAPPY

    In addition, the Eraser button. On Win XP, it was white, nice and simple. Now, he must tinker with what color you want the eraser to be square. Much more complicated, why don't you just have another gum that is always set to white? Have 2 erasers. Much less intuitive, much more tedious.

    In Win XP paint, want to resize something, it was easy to say tilt Thexaxis say 150 percent, but the axis is left unchanged. Now it's more complicated. They are locked in. I'm sure you can tinker and it immutable, but it's not simple and easy, much harder to do.

    My overall impression of the new paint 7 win, is that it is much more tedious and much less intuitive to use. NOT HAPPY.
    Yes, with practice I can work around probably many bad features, but probably it will take a lot of tweaking.
    It's more complicated and much less easy to use.

    This leaves still not resolved the fill color on a GIF chart feature. For example, suppose that you draw a hollow black square, depending on whether you fill the inside a color (XP there was about 16 colors or you could flood, perhaps more.) when you have saved the GIF image once again, the picture was clear and the embanked area was perfectly monochromatic. This allowed low size and the ability to change the color, if you want to. EASY.

    Try to do this in Win 7 paint, and the embanked area is grainy, when you save it. Even if you save the file as a GIF file as soon as you start. WHY SE PRODUCT. In win XP paint, I would start a new image and before I started one line, I would and then save it as a GIF, in this way when I recorded it again, all solid colors in areas would be unchanged. Does not work with Win 7 paint.

    Seems I have to get my old PC works again and use the XP on it to make my images.
    Side, I have made hundreds of sketches on Win XP Paint and know how to use so extremely well.

    There is another paint program, you might find useful:

  • Windows Photo Viewer cannot open this file because the file seems to be corrupted, damaged or too big.

    I am on Windows 7 and using Photo Viewer to watch 5 tiff files. I can open all tiff files in photoshop or psp, but not in photoviewer. Here, I can open only 2 smaller files. Is there a limit of size on the photo viewer (it seems). The files that I can not open are 1.45

    Hello
     
    a. like you said that the size of file that 1.45, could you give the exact size in MB, GB or KB?
    b. Since the photoviewer is used to display basic tiff files, if the file contains additional metadata information that can not be played on photoviewer it could give you the error message.
    1 copy these pictures on another computer in Windows 7 and check if the files open.
    2. you can also try to change the file format and check if it converts in this format and it opens correctly.
    You can see the following article on changing the file format.
    I hope this helps.

  • The address window has been reduced. How can I make it any longer so I can see the address (or most of them at least)?

    I've updated to Firefox for Mac 3.6.23. I have OS 10.4.11. Immediately, I noticed that the address window has been reduced to about half an inch. The search engine is long, like the address used to be window. It's not good for me. I usually use the address window to make changes and move it to a new page. I can't do it now. How can I make long once again the address window? Can I return to 3.6.22? I need this long window.

    You can place the mouse between the address bar and the search bar, and it will become an icon of resize.

    Press the left mouse button and drag it to the right to make the larger location toolbar.

  • Is it possible to change the sound of boot to windows 7 and if so, how?

    I don't see an option to uncheck "play windows start sound."  It doesn't seem to be 'start-up' or 'windows startup' in the tree of events.
    I want to put my own being in place when I turn on the computer.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Reach:

    Start-> Control Panel-> Sound-> tab 'sounds '.
    From there, you can select the individual and change them in the drop-down list of the default sounds provided by Windows. If you want your own sound select it using Browse. Remember that it should be in format WAV for Windows to run. Once you click apply-> OK
