Can someone help with a computer problem?

14 years ago

All of a sudden my font letters are BIG. I reset the view- text size to small and its no better. Is it a virus or do I need to do something? Thanks, this is so annoying

I hold down on "Ctrl" and move the wheel on the mouse to change size, but not sure if this is your "fix" or not.

If you don't have a mouse, use CTRL and the minus sign.
CTRL and the + sign makes text larger.

Ok to strart off I have a sony vaio vgn-fs980...on a random day my touchpad stopped working and I connected a usb mouse, after a while I got annoyed carrying the mouse with me, I went on a website for help and I followed some instructions on getting the driver downloaded, therefore I did , as soon as my laptop restarted my touchpad was working, however when I tried to go on the net and say thanks for the help I noticed my keyboard wasn't working ,...it only gets the keyboard when its in the start up...I need help...my laptop has been like this for about a year, I really don't have money to get it fixed and I'm a fulltime student I really need my laptop running right...any help? I don't know if this helps but as I went into thr device manager under batteries I noticed that under microsoft AC adapter there was a yellow exclamation mark..and the same for microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery...what should I do.

Can someone help me identify this problem?

Could also be some kind of black spot. There are many strains of it depending on which part of the country you're in. It's really hard for me to tell the difference between BS, cercospora and anthracnose so I try to find a fungicide that will work for all of them and use that. Look for the Bayer Disease Control for Roses and that should do the trick. Stay away from the combined products that say 2 in 1 or 3 in 1. You don't need the extra stuff and they don't work as well.

Can someone help ID foxtail problem (pics)?

At first glance having grown both fishTAIL , and foxTAIL, palms indoors years back , i think perhaps you misspoke in your identification of the ones you have, which look more like the fishtail variety , but on to the problem ' yellowing' of fronds , most often if there seem to be small webs associated , it's likely a case of spider mites which can really yellow and kill fronds in the worst infestations , but also a common nutritional problem which could be a lack of enough magnesium or in some cases iron for some varieties , but can't recall the Mn or manganese being mentioned , though it may be slipping my mind .

Can someone help me figure this out? Camera, IPhone & pics problem

If you took the picture with the camera on the phone the picture is stored on your phone. You can Log into your eBay account and using the browser on your phone or the app if you have one. Go to the picture on your phone and there should be a share icon, it looks like a sideways V with dots on the ends on Android, on iPhone it looks like a box with an arrow pointing upward out of the box. . Click on the icon and it will show a list of ways to share the pictures. Email, messenger, etc. I have always preferred to simply remove the memory card from the camera, when using an actual camera, and inserting it into the card reader on the computer. Then accessing directly from the SD card the pictures to download to the computer. It's a simple process.

You can go into Options and set your preferences to web-page text sizing.

I have all my web-pages in Tahoma font as I find it clean and easy to read. You can adjust the sizing accordingly as well.

You can also relax about it being a virus. It's just one of hundreds of things that can be adjusted on a computer and every one of us sometimes hits the wrong key.

If you have more complex questions in the future, the Computer Help Forum here on GardenWeb is a good place to go.

Yup, Kudsu is right. They respect every question and teach you new things if you just read the site.

I trust that site for big and little problems. It is amazing how many people who are pros volunteer to get you going.
