I am planning to attempt my first use of Al's Gritty Mix for a Japanese Maple. I was unable to find Turface locally so will be using NAPA's oil absorbant, #8552, nor was I able to find the fir bark fines recommended - though others have said EarthGro Groundcover Bark is the right size and available at their local Home Depots, they don't seem to carry it here in Colorado. So, I, too, will be using the ZooMed Repti-Bark from PetSmart. I was under the impression that this bark was the correct size right out of the bag, but from your post, Brian, I take it the size is too big? Now what? :-( I would be happy to email ZooMed but my tree will be arriving next week so I need a solution now. Holly

I finally got back to my neighbors this morning and didn't have very much luck. If it was every page that opened wide it might be easier to figure out. But it is pages she usually opens and until the last month has been fine. I checked everything that has been mentioned and they all seem ok. I had even sent her a picture the size I normally send to here and that part of the email she had to scroll to see the whole picture. She didn't have this problem before. I checked her AVG for any sign of virus's and trojans and everything came up clean. She is 80 years old so she gets upset when things change and I can understand that!! I appreciate everyones help.

again is the size of the actual font size of the text bigger than it was??? that info is very important to know what exactly has changed. It is difficult to assist if we do not get direct answers to the questions. LCD or CRT monitor? Right click anywhere on the desktop and choose properties to get to your display settings and then the advanced button will take you to your DPI setting adjustments. As Owbist stated you need to know what is the proper resolution setting for your particular monitor to know where to set the slider. Tell us which things you have tried so we know what has not worked for you.

Yvonne, that's difference you see is caused by my manipulation of a camera in Aperture Priority mode. Picture was taken with Minolta A1, which you can buy now for AUD $500-700. When shooting in Aperture Priority, and I want blurry background, I select widest possible aperture for the shot (f/2.8), and that gives me that beautiful blurry background (out of focus area). Wider the aperture, less background is in focus. All the same, if I want more of the background in focus (for landscape photography, for example), I'll rather select smaller aperture (f/11 or f/22) so almost whole scene, both foreground and background, will be in perfect focus. I believe Sandie can do the same. I suppose Panasonic Lumix supports Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority and Full Manual modes. In any case, I strongly recommend anyone to get a camera that has all those shooting modes. -Tom
