7 years agoI'm not much of a Windows user but after doing a brief search, I'd probably check display scaling in settings.
And try turning on "Let Windows try to fix apps so they’re not blurry.":

============================================As for image files not showing as icons you might see if anything in this thread helps:

Note there may be two places where you need to make changes.

Comments (11)Lee... I sent off my e-mail to Maureen before I saw that you'd be interested in the way I do Print Screen. I also used to save and paste into Irfanview until Wolf showed me a little German program he used. It saves you having to paste each time you save a screenshot and it is so easy to then save a series of screenshots one after the other. Here's the letter and explanation I sent to Maureen: I have been using a little German program called "Snapsaver" for an easy print screen function. The icon sits down in my tray at screen bottom and I call it up when I need it. With just two clicks, - one to call up the program and the next one to save the screen - it takes a screen copy and saves it to a predetermined folder where I keep all screenshots, so that eliminates having to cut and paste a screen each time you do a print screen. It will take as many shots as you like, just as long as you press the 'print screen' button, and then after a long pause it turns off until you click the icon to 'wake it up' again. Here is one download site at the link below .....I think all commands are in English but I'll go back and check as I see this page is in German. Usually after taking a screenshot I go to the saved snap in the snaps folder and use my resident default pictureviewer and cropper program (VuePrint) - and crop out any unnecessary edges from the screen capture and resize the page to around 800 x 600, which all together sharpens the image and clarifies any blurry text, then I save the cropped image into one of my photo files. VuePrint is an old program and costs very little I think I paid $40...from Hamrick Software and it is so transparent, yet wonderful as it sits there in the background without being noticed but as soon as I bring up a photo, it will crop and zoom in or out, resize, flip over or mirror image a photo. I think you can still download a test version of that program before paying anything. I just noticed that Hamrick's website is promoting his scanning program (VueScan) but at the top centre there is a link to VuePrint. This is such a neat little program! I'm happy to answer any further questions :-). SharonCb Here is a link that might be useful: Snapsaver Download Site...See Moretext but no pictures show on the web site
Comments (2)deb, your pictures are online but you didnh't put the file name in the photo address. If you will right click on where a photo should be and then click on properties, you will see that it gives the address for the page, not the graphic. The address should be the address that's there with the image file after the last / ....See More'Feet' for kitchen islands... show pictures?
Comments (10)What about doing it on actual legs like a farm table. You can order legs that have 1/4 of them cut out to fit around the corner of the cabs? The biggest problem I see with your original plan or mine is the cleaning issue. I used the same company as the island linked below to order our legs. If you look at the legs on angelcub's lovely yellow island you could have your cabs come down closer to the floor and not have the shelf underneath. If you're interested, let me know and I'll post a link to the website. Here is a link that might be useful: yellow island...See MoreFinal picture show suggestions
Comments (17)I like them in thread with a link to more. But, be sure to size them correctly so they don't end up being huge pictures that we have to scroll up/down and left/right just to see all of one pic. The bonus is when the pictures are sized smaller, they are a smaller file size which loads faster for those on dial up. Also, when typing the coding for the pictures, be sure to include the height="300" coding (or whatever height). This presets the picture size as the thread loads so you don't have the text jumping as each picture loads when you are downthread. Note: the height coding doesn't affect file size, it makes it load better on the page. So if your pic is huge and has a big file size, the height coding will make it show up whatever size you specify, but it will still take a long time to load. <img src="http://www.website.com/picture.jpg" height="250">...See More- 7 years ago
7 years agolast modified: 7 years agoTry this for the blurry text. Enter cleartype (all one word) into search. Select Adjust ClearType. Make sure the box is checked, then follow the prompts.
For Windows Explorer display, go to the View tab and select small, medium, large, or extra large icons.

IE should be in the start menu in the Windows Accessories folder, or type Internet Explorer in the search box. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17621/internet-explorer-downloads
For the blurry text, see if Step 2 in this Chrome help page fixes it. https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95290?hl=enLars thanked Mo - 7 years ago

Click the icon where it says Options, and Folder Options will open. Go to the View tab, and make sure Always show icons, never thumbnails is unchecked.
