Do you mean the font on websites, to make it easier to read?
Hit CTRL and the + sign.

Clairdo, to remove the upper case, press the caps lock key again. It's right next to the A on my key board. I'm also on a new HP laptop. Enjoy!

I was using Spy Bot but will download from that link immediately. I so hope that is it. I am embarrassed to say that I was trying to restore because I could not rename some files no matter what I did (with the date in numericals). After trying for 2 days I said I would just restore to when I knew it was working. Thats how I found out the error thing. THEN I realized that the number lock was on ( has no light). Now you understand why I need help so often !!! Can not be returned but they will repair if needed. Just would prefer not to have to go that route if possible. Thank you again..

win7 64bit not reading Vista CD

I did try a music CD as well and nothing happened. Couldn't see a directory or play it. Today I put a clean CD in; a format menu box popped up; did that. Then dragged some folders to it (using Windows Explorer option). They copied. Popped out the CD and put in the old "unreadable" one and the burn menu showed again but this time with additional option to view contents, lo, there were all the folders. Why windows explorer couldn't read it before? Now the problem is trying to open a .jpg to view. When I click on one (I use IrfanView) all the filenames turn pale and the CD spins, and spins, and spins. The cursor remains as an hourglass. When I try to close the explorer window a message saying program not responding shows up and I choose end process to get the explorer window to close. I'm wondering if the old Roxio program I used to burn the CDs is the problem. Don't have Roxio on this computer.

battery longivity

You shouldn't charge your laptop constantly. If you only occasionally take your laptop away from a power outlet, but leave it plugged in to charge 24/7, you're leaving your laptop in a state of perpetual charge at the 100% point and that is bad for the battery's long-time health. As mikie suggests, you might want to physically remove the laptop battery if you're using the laptop at your desk for long stretches of time. If you do remove it, don't store it in a fully charged or depleted state. It's best to store it in the middle -- between 40 and 50 percent of full charge. I've read it is best to store in a cool dark place (such as a drawer) and wrapped in a clothe. I do keep my battery plugged in all the time when I am at my desk but I do unplug the adapter till the charge is at about 50% then plug the adapter back in. It's not good to allow the battery to go completely dead either.

Sitting around here somewhere I've an HP laptop that I bought because I liked the look and feel - and it was on deep discount sale. I rarely use it because it has to be propped up to increase circulation or it overheats and freezes.

You see the 'shift' key, above that is the 'caps lock' key. To the left of that caps lock key, should be a tiny light that is on. That light tells you that the caps are on. Press 'caps lock' to turn off the caps.

WHICH ONE DID YOU GET? LOL Your cap's lock makes it sound like you're SO excited! Jumping up and down excited. LOL

Congrat's on the new laptop. HP is my favourite when it comes to computers. I've had 2 PC's, and now I have 2 laptops and my husband has his laptop.
