When I turned on my computer back from the mode 'sleep' this morning, all my fonts and icons on the desktop were very large and I tried to get back them to normal with no luck.

I tried to create a system restore point, tried to change the resolution, tried the small button of magnification, but nothing works.  It worked fine last night before going to sleep... ideas?

You can create a Restore Point for yesterday not today.

It's already done, if you have enabled the restoration of the system.

Follow the steps below to use one already do the System Restore Point to restore your computer to the settings of yesterday...

Restore point:

http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If the above does not fix it:

Go to the Web site of the manufacturer of your card for laptop / computer graphics / > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > looking for the latest graphics drivers for Vista > download/install them.

Then:

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

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.

    Hello

    I have enable event monitor in my Windows 7 HP x 86 machine.
    In the system event logs, I noticed that there are event id 1074 formerly initiated by Explorer.exe and sometimes by Winlogon.exe.
    Will someone please explain to me,.
    What is the difference of these initiators of two stop? I mean when they start the shutdown process?
    How can I run that manually (for testing only)?

    Hi guys,.

    Not a lot of people in the research or interested in this subject, however I think I found an answer for this.

    I did a little research and found:

    1. a stop initiated by the call to an API such as ExitWindowsEx() or InitiateSystemShutdown().

    2. for ExitWindowsEx(); CSRSS acting on behalf of the calling process and simply to send a window message to a window owned by the WINLOGON. EXE process for the current session to simulate the interactive user, choosing the equivalent action in the WINLOGON user interface. So in the case of ExitWindowsEx() being called to initialize a stop, a message window is sent to the WINLOGON process for this session, which requires a stop and WINLOGON behaves that point everything as if the stop was requested through its user interface.

    - And this is the reason why, when we see stop triggered by Winlogon.exe.

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

    Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.

    After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.

    What is the problem?

    If your computer has not already been infected by virus or malware, it is probably now after you have downloaded and installed something of a site that wants to pay you $50 to remove something you didn't know you had until told this same site.

    Do you mean that you have installed Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2010?  Your subscription is up to date?

    Similarly, you would update SUPERAntiSpyware before running a scan of your computer?

    I'm not sure what you mean by '2 boxes.'  Do you mean that instead of characters for a file name, you see two empty squares?  In any case, download Autoruns http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx install it and let it scan.

    When Autoruns analysis is complete, click the 'connection '.  Review them entered what whether that looks like "bad."  I can't be more specific, because you could not see that the name of which has been commissioning.  By looking at the name of the entry, its description and its publisher, you should be able to easily identify most of the entries in the logon section.  If you can't, either post the details of back here or do a Google search.

    For any entry that does not appear to be legitimate, uncheck the box to the left of the entrance.  Close the Autoruns and restart the computer.  Messages should no longer appear.  Once you are convinced that you have disabled the correct entries, you can go back and use Autoruns to delete (instead of just deactivating).

    I also suggest you analyzing your system with other tools.
    Download, install, update and run MalwareBytes Anti-Malware.

    It seems that your screen displays some graphical anomalies when you connect to your user name. I would use these troubleshooting steps in the following article on the resolution of screens:

    Restart your Mac in safe mode to reset the default display resolution.

    If booting safe mode doesn't resolve the problem, reset your Mac NVRAM and SMC to reset the video ports on your Mac to their default values.

    From: get help with graphics issues on external displays connected to your Mac.

    2. click on start.
    3. Type "cmd" on ' search '.
    4. right click on "cmd" and click "Run As Administrator" and click OK.
    5. Enter "sfc/scannow" (without the quotes).
    6. press ENTER.
    7. If is done, you must restart your computer.
    If you do not work with this method, try the second method.

    Method 2
    Install Windows Vista SP2:
    You must install SP2 from here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-uk/download/details.aspx?id=16468

  • C:\Windows\mixer.exe appears when I turn on my computer first

    Is what is coming up on my screen when I turn firstly my computer asks me to run, I have to, what is? If I should not the lance how can I get rid of him?

    I do not have this file on my system, so it's probably a Vista file.  While in Safe Mode (press F8 repeatedly during boot to enter the mode safe mode with networking) try to run anti-malware programs because you are probably infected with some form of malware. Do NOT run! To correct this problem download, install, and run the following two programs: http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php and http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html.  Once you find and remove it, you can stop the scan.  You can also try a free trial of Pandasoft (www.pandasoft.com).  Before you download pandasoft, uninstall all anti-virus program you currently use (because the installation and execution of two simultaneously can cause conflicts, freezes and all sorts of problems).  Once you have uninstalled your current AV program, download, install, update and scan using Pandasoft.  I think you might be amazed at how much she notes that other software missed.  Once complete, uninstall pandasoft and re - install your current AV program (unless you decide to spend that I did when I tried about 4 years ago).  You can also try the new, free Microsoft Security Essentials http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/default.aspx (with the same caveat that only program AV one ALONE can be installed and running on your system at any time). Restart after you have completed all the scans.

    If these analysis and cleaning to solve the problem (if the box no longer appears), then we will check some of your system files just to be on the safe side:

    Go to start / programs Alll / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

    Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run. It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well, it is completed with no corruption that he could not repair (cases of corruption, post here).

    While we are here, we will check your hard disk by typing chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  It will scan and try to repair the bad sectors.

    I hope that this will solve the problem.  If not, post it here and we will look at some other troubleshooting steps.

    Good luck and I hope this helps.

    Hello rmh56, what would be a little difficult to determine, given that every computer comes with different programs.

    I have no way of knowing how to determine which programs can be prevented from leaving on a particular computer.

    You can try unchecking each of those entries one at a time and restart the system, or log and see if the programs perform normally, but this could be a very long process.

    Unless you are certain that a program is not necessary, I would leave checked.

    I just checked my startup programs and I shows that I have 15 startup programs.

    This doesn't seem to affect my system performance at all. I check all out them.
