It's been dead for a while now so I rebooted and it works fine now. lol Just that it annoyed me the screen is so big in font, how do we resize the screen? And another help please!? The audio doesn't work. My computer doesn't have sound. Help!? I need to listen to music you know. -_- Anybody know a way to work with the audio system? Because now that I don't have a restore CD or anything. Edited July 12, 2007 by shampoo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pragaidow 0 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Do you mean resize the font on the screen? If you have firefox browser go to tools>options>content and then you will see an area where you can change the font size and style. If you have IE browser, go to tools>internet options>general and at the way bottom you will see a button for fonts, just click on that and modify it. As for audio did you check if your sounds are off? Try right clicking on the sound icon and hit adjust audio properties to see if your sound is accidentally muted. If you don't have a sound icon on the right tray of your computer then just go to start>control panel>sounds, speech and audio devices and from there you can check your sounds. I hope that helps.

shampoo 750 Posted July 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Not just the font that are big but the whole screen is big. I know how to go to audio that way but from there, I don't know how to work things out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mai 1,032 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 go to ur control panel then click on "appearance and themes" then click on "display" then click on the "settings" tab from there you just change ur screen resolution and if you play around a bit with the resolution it showed alter the size. I have mine set really small, that's why sometimes I cant read unless I copy and paste it onto word Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pam 38 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 How do you fix the color of the screen, my laptop is too light not dark enough, but my desktop at work is just fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mai 1,032 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Every computer is different, there should be somewhere in the control panel you can do that, but on my computer, I just press the 'fn' key along with f7 key and it brightens the computer for me f6 darkens it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pam 38 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 I've done went to the control panel and all it changes is the edges, there has to be a way just gotta keep playin with it for like 2/3 hrs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shampoo 750 Posted July 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 see you're always a help. Thank you na. -_- oh yes, the sound doesn't work so I can't even play music. It will tell me that my audio doesn't work. OH some one help me. Is there such a key as fn? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sunny 3,009 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 see you're always a help. Thank you na. -_- Is that me or my sweetie who helped you? or someone else? lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mai 1,032 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 whose instructions did you use? mine or Sunny's? I've got a fn key on my keyboard between the ctrl and alt button. It actually tells you the audio doesnt work? I had that problem once and apparently they installed a wrong drive, so they had to install software for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shampoo 750 Posted July 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 oh dear, I didn't noticed, I thought it was Sunny. I saw Mai's first so I follow her instruction then I also see another one below so I was confused to why Sunny posted it twice. So I went back to look again. I don't even have an audio cd for installation. I don't know what to do, if without audio, I can't watch anything or listen to anything and some of the program won't work without audio. -_- Another problem, when I scroll down or up, it doesn't scroll normally, it scroll up and down like a warm? I don't know what happened, the space is about 127 GB free. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pam 38 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Shampoo are the plugs plugged in right for audio? Might be loose or the speaker not working, that happen to me before where I had to buy new speakers!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shampoo 750 Posted July 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 everything is plugged in, I just rebooted. The speaker work fine, lol they told me the audio is not working. I think they said have a cd or something like that and I don't think we have it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mai 1,032 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 the scroll thing can be fixed on the control panel too, under printer and other hardware., try changing the settings in either keyboard or mouse Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shampoo 750 Posted July 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 eeekkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkks Thanks a lot Mai. It's working better now, I'll just have to play with it to get it working straight out. Now I just need the audio. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mai 1,032 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 oh so I'm right, you dont have the software for it. You know, if you reboot the computer, meaning, just install ur restore cds, everything should work fine, whether or not you have the software for the media stuff. I never have to use mine, restore cds usually does the work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shampoo 750 Posted July 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 lol yup you're right. But the problem is, I don't know how to go restore those the software Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mai 1,032 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 it's not hard to restore, the hard part is backing up all ur files cause BEFORE you restore, you lose everything, it restores your computer back to exactly how it was when you bought it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shampoo 750 Posted July 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 (edited) awww dang that sounds serious. You mean just the audio will go back or everything in the computer? Then how do we do backup? Dang, I'm not good computer. Edited July 12, 2007 by shampoo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
