Gizzy to the rescue :soldier:

Ok, this might be something very simple.
Try to do a RIGHT CLICK anywhere on the DESKTOP.

  • Then choose PROPERTIES from that MENU that popsup.
  • Choose any available THEME You see from the DROP DOWN

Then hit OK.

Gizzy, it didnt work. afsoos

You know whats happening? First, all my icons are taking up a lot more space than they were before and secondly, some of my font is YELLOW. Like when I left click on the desktop area, the word "Refresh" is in yellow and some of the bordering when I open websites is also yellow.

Then another problem is pictures. They are messed up, like scrunched together. The pixels are all messed up. Making the pics look blurry, whenever I open a website.

Thats just three of the issues. HELPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!

Re: I messed up my desktop and fonts

Again:

RIGHT CLICK on desktop.
this time click on the APPEARANCE tab
check what is the font size there?

And can you post a screenshot here?

Re: I messed up my desktop and fonts

Umm I guess I can, let me get my cam. I dont know how to make sizes small though, for pics.

Re: I messed up my desktop and fonts

Ok this might do the trick

Go to the kitchen, take one glass of medium hot water, (about 275 ml) walk back to the desk. Turn on the tv, turn it off and turn it on again.
After this jump twice and touch your nose. Walk back the computer and it should work just fine :biggthumb

Your welcome :halo:

LOL :hehe::smack: … murmels something bout F12 or prntscrn button… :smiley:

Re: I messed up my desktop and fonts

dutch, I dont know how to use that button. snooty

Anyway, I took a pic wid my cam. You can see the yellow font here. But theres no way to show the blurriness in the pics on my screen.

As for trying to change the font size. In the Appearance screen there are several different options that have font as an option, I dont know which one to choose. The funny thing is that for none of them have I picked the color yellow!!!

Re: I messed up my desktop and fonts

anyway, close all open windows and right click mouse button on your screen (blank area), and for the rest follow Gizzy instructions.

Re: I messed up my desktop and fonts

Some tricks you can try:

  1. Start Menu > Settings > Control Panel > Display > ‘Settings’ tab
    Increase the screen resolution to max. Here is a picture that illustrates that:

  2. Start Menu > Settings > Control Panel > Display > ‘Themes’ tab
    Change the theme to windows xp or windows classic

Re: I messed up my desktop and fonts

Oh, that 5.99/month was a netflix ad. That was Yahoo’s mainpage that I took a snap of. grin

I fiddled around with the computer and Alhumdulillah most of it was fixed. Then I tried what Gizzy suggested again and the yellow font problem was fixed. Now the only thing left is the font size in general. Font is bigger than I like it by just a tad.

Any ideas? Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Gizzy and everyone. smile

Re: I messed up my desktop and fonts

Font size only in IE while browsing the net?
If yes? then do this:

In Internet Explorer from the menu at the top:

VIEW ~~> TEXT SIZE ~~> MEDIUM

thats it!
