    Windows 7
    How you can view the records/document details-name, date, tags, size, good guy that watching a records/documents too large, medium or small icons?
    I have to be able to sort the records/documents while in the large, medium or small icon view I have in Vista. I can't settle unless I'm in the Details view. I work with graphics mostly, so I need to see while I sort.

    Even if the headers are not visible, you can sort/filter/group by those details by right-clicking on an empty spot in the folder and choose the fate/group that made a right click menu.

    Your preference of sort/group will remember your next visit this folder.  For more information on how to apply your preferences of sorting/grouping of all records at once, try my tip at http://skeene.net/tech/apply-folder-styles-to-all-subfolders/

  • Microsoft Office Word 2007 (vista) screen appears black and white

    I'm not really a computer person and I don't have any real problems with my laptop lately, up to what has happened. I have a Dell 1525 Insiprion, if this is useful, and I've owned it for 6-8 months now. The document appears white, but the rest is messed up. I can still type and everything it's just incredibly boring. I have installed the latest updates colors appear the same as they always have, and makes me worried to update one of my documents. Do you know what could be wrong with it? If so, how can I solve this problem? Thank you!

    So what's with Office Word 2007 or you notice in any other program or window?
    Run the Office Diagnostics utility
    In Word, click the Office logo in the top left, and then click Word Options. In the section resources, run Microsoft Office Diagnostics by clicking on diagnose. Follow the instructions in the wizard.

    If you still get the same appearance even after diagnosis, test opening Office in safe mode and post your results:

  • Update Vista 64 Bit SP 2 remove icons from the taskbar for the power and sound.

    When I installed the update to Vista SP2, my power and Volume icons disappeared from the taskbar. When I went to set the display for the Menu Taskbar properties, the option to do so is grayed out.  Go to the control panel to change the power options, it's annoying, but I can live with that because I do not often change. But having to go through the control panel to adjust the volume is a container of the slow cooker. How to view again?

    Hi old giza,.

    Thank you for using answers Forum.

    I suggest you to re - install the driver for your sound card, this should restore function.

    You can also consult the Web site of the manufacturer for an updated Vista driver.

    I hope this helps.

  • screen resolution of the remote desktop: fonts and icons of the remote desktop window are so small they can barely read.

    Remote Desktop screen resolution

    I've recently upgraded to a Windows 7 laptop from a computer in Office XP.

    On my old machine, I use a VPN clent and Remote Desktop connection to use my work computer (my company uses XP on their machines).  If I try to connect from my computer Windows 7, fonts and icons of the remote desktop window are so small they can barely read.  Change display options in the settings of remote desktop doesn't affect the size of the window, not the resolution.

    It is a problem because I am stuck using my old system to work remotely.

    Any ideas?

    All you have to do is to reduce the resolution of the screen that you use to connect to your Remote Desktop Session.  More the higher resolution and the characters will be on your screen, and when you connect to Remote Desktop.  In my case, I lowered the resolution of my screen to the House for the resolution of the screen in my office.  It works perfectly.  To reduce the resolution follow these steps:

    1. click on start

    2. click on Control Panel

    3. under appearance & personalization - click on adjust screen resolution.  You may get a message indicating that your resolution is not at the optimum, but don't worry you will still be able to see the letters on your screen.

  • In the latest versions of FireFox, there's a display option which allowed a change in the size of the fonts and objects on the screen temporarily on the fly. This seems to be missing from version 6.

    or
    View-> Zoom

    Edit: I see that you are using Windows 7 where the menu bar is hidden as a Firefox orange button by default. Some menus objects much may not be visible in the menu of the Firefox button. Show the Menu bar or use the - and + Zoom controls buttons.

    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.
