whats this all about then ?

[David]

I have taken a screen shot and cant figure out why the screens like this  its very odd

[john]

The attachement is just a blank Word Document David (0 bytes).

[Steve]

Its interesting that you can download "nothing" if you wish

[vitriol]

Yeah it's blank.

Print Screen > MSpaint > Edit > Paste > File > Save As > Give filename and save as type jpg or bmp

works the best for me

[Rik]

Same here, David - blank document.

[David]

For some reason the screenshot wont copy or atach itself.but here are the symptoms page for all websites is white.the text and display is massive and even her all writing is blue and the page looks like its been nagnified 10 times.I have changed text size etc then it reverts back......so that is why Im thinking Grphics card problem...other than this Im amazed how good this is.

Oh yes Im thinking of getting anothe pc (well you didnt think I would notttt did you)

[Rik]

Have you tried switching to a different browser?

[Steve]

Sounds like you have activated a zoom feature. Try Ctrl 0(zero) to cancel.Works for FF and IE

[David]

Yes Rik just carroed this out and this writing is showing in the box as just grey text like a typewriter on paper all borders are blue ot wierd looking the moment I send this it will revert back to it,almost like its a default looks wierd..

This is copied does not show the blue

[Steve]

Does that text occupy the whole screen?Did you try Ctrl Zero?

[Rik]

Try re-installing the graphics drivers, David.

[vitriol]

What does the rest of windows look like? Normal or is that magnified too?

What browser are you using?  If using Firefox hold CTRL and use the + and - keys to adjust font size / zoom level.

[David]

Yes its all big and mainly blue lines and blue text against a white background,sounds odd it even changes the layout,from say landscape to portrait  tried the CTL with + and - and it works but will revert back

[vitriol]

If you open My Documents / My Computer does that look the same ?

[Rik]

Go the the manufacturer's site, but make sure you get the card model exactly right.

Alternatively, try a generic XP driver.

[Steve]

What's the screen resolution set at? I can replicate the problem by reducing mine. Cant remember how to check in xp. what was it?control panel>display??it was so long ago!

[Rik]

Right click an empty area of screen and select Properties > Settings.

[David]

Thanks will do both hope it cures it was a pleasant surprise using it..........think Im online later for a new one .........Wendy told me to 

[Rik]

Good for Wendy. 

[David]

No Vitriol they are normal sized and colour all fine

[David]

Good for Wendy. 

Careful Rik.......she dosnt know she has agreed yet 

[David]

Right click an empty area of screen and select Properties > Settings.

The other point on this when I hover the mouse over the icon it shows a connection of 108.....the others are 54 what is this about

[vitriol]

No Vitriol they are normal sized and colour all fine

I'd say that rules out a gfx driver issue then.  Got to be browser related.

[Rik]

Sounds like you have an N-standard wireless adaptor, David.

[David]

Have I dare I ask what is an N standard   ,is it the same as buying black and white check paint?

[Rik]

The original wireless standard was b, David, 11Mbps. Then most common now is g, 54Mbps. The latest is n, 108Mbps.

[Steve]

Put presumably its connected to a 54g wireless router?
