Windows Vista is driving me crazy

kaus · #1 09-27-2007, 03:08 PM

There has to be some settings on this thing. I am only a few hours into and cant stand it. First off the forum is really small, like freaking small. i thought it was all sites but no just some.

Anyone know how to fix this...text is killer on eyes in some parts.

Than the allow garbage is annoying. I have to hit it like three times to get thorugh.

Again anyone know how to fix that?

Thanks

OMG and wrong forum tooo....thought I hit cocktail lounge. Sorry!

I have Vista on my laptop and so far it is a mild pain in the ass. When using frontpage, pressing ctrl+k will cause it to crash. So all linking in front page has to be manually typed in. Also most of the updates I try to install don't work, half of them fail. I am thinking about selling my laptop and desktop and going mac.

ctrl++ to make text larger. ctrl+- to make it smaller

Thanks Brandon and John...

so not loving this at all. The text is not permanent and when used makes alot of things overlap....mind you this is in IE

lol - I've always had macs and been totally off PC's as thought they were bad

old PC laptop went futt so had to choose between £2000 ($4K) for mac or £600 for same in PC with vista

went with the PC - now I can run PKR without borrowing a mates PC and vista seems to be fine - all ran straight out the box

convinced me as a diehard mac user - maybe these PC's are ok

just my 2p

cheers scrawnybob

Smaller as in screen resolution?

Yeah its really screwed. At Paw the forum is centered in like teh way my site was and the etxt is really small. Now if Igo to GPWA Ihaveto scroll over to see everything.

so I went into my settings for my monitor and thought maybe I did something in there...but its fine. So checked internet options for something and the only thing I can find is enlarge/decrease text but of course its not permanent.

I hate these things....such a nob trying to figure it out...lol but its giving me an awful headache.

Try Ctrl+mouse3 if you have a wheel mouse
