Umm, you talking about resolution? Right click on your desktop, go to properties. Settings, then change the resolution.

View, Text size, Medium 8)

EDIT: BoostedZ6, you press the "print screen" button about insert on your keyboard, which captures the screen image. Then using a photo editing software (easiest is Paint) to paste it and save it. :P

Just a combination of some of the keys made the text larger. Thats all it did.

Re:What did I do to my computer?
 
ctrl + mousewheel usually fixes that. or maybe its alt.

update: yep its control, hold it down and move your mouse wheel, watch the text change sizes.

HondaTuner 10-25-2004 09:28 PM

You know what else you should do? Go to start, run, "command prompt", then while you're at C:\, type "shutdown -r" 8)

That's what I was thinking. Sometimes when I'm typing a post I'll hit some strange key and my whole post will be gone. I've tried to figure out what key it could be, but I can't even do it when I'm trying. ::) That really pisses me off too. It's like it waits until I have a really long post and then it decides to delete that ---- just to piss me off. I like to slam the mouse real hard and bash the keyboard when that happens.

That's what I was thinking, but I couldn't find that one. ??? I looked all over for the "piss you off really bad by deleting your ----" button, but I couldn't find that one either. ???

well its simple. you click on it, with the right mouse button. while that button is being held down, move it to the bottom. and then let go of the botton.

I get this call from the SAME users a couple times a month. As long as boost remembers how to do it from this point on, he's one up on some of the portfolio managers where I work ;)

Re:What did I do to my computer?
 
lol, yeah I'll remember how to fix it now. :-[ I seriously never look into anything else on my computer. I go on the internet and that's it. I upload pictures, but that's as technical as I get with it. I can't use a wrench to fix it so I'm clueless. :-\
