4 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.
(1) While browsing folders in File Explorer(2) In the Upload Dialog

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 MorePictures Not Showing up on Page
Comments (7)MaryAnn, Thanks for your response. This is my first rodeo and getting my page uploaded is giving me a whipping. Yes, I used your Netscape and find that it is very user friendly. But I used WS FTP to upload. I attempted to publish with Netscape, but nothing happened...machine just sat idle for 3 hours. Will try publishing with Netscape again if you think that will give me a better result. Things look good after I edit my page in c://; but when I upload the page into http//, my changes are not taking effect. (And, to make sure all the pix were uploaded, I copied the folder to the upload folder.) I would post a link, but the page is not nearly ready for the critics. It's just a little site with pictures of my family...just meant for keeping my family connected. Any help will be much appreciated. Patsy...See MoreDo you text?
Comments (35)Texting, like phones, instant messaging and email has its place but for me it's not much I need it. The last few nights it's been rather late and a couple people wanted me to call them. I am very, well often overly-courteous/cautious, depending on how you look at it about calling people at what for them would be odd hours. I know some people for whom 3pm would be interrupting their sleep. Anyway, I sent a text to them and asked if it was a good time to call. One sent back immediately and I called. But I usually use Yahoo Instant Messenger and the computer to send my text messages rather than a phone. First because it's free and my phone isn't and secondly I can use a standard keyboard. Texting while driving is bad, no doubt, but there's also another one that's never mentioned and that's GPS units. Punching in stuff on that is as bad as texting. I like instant messaging and email. It's far less rude than anything to do with a phone. And I take issue with anyone saying that it's less disruptive than a phone call. First there's the ring like a phone, then people instinctively grab it immediately - they can't wait, after all, someone sent them a text!!! and of course bring it up, read it and often there has to be an answer. Just the other night a friend from work got a new apartment and was kind of excited. His first place on his own and he's new to town and wanted to show it off. So I went downtown, spent nearly 40 minutes driving around trying to find a parking spot since the place has no assigned parking. Then when I parked about 1/3 mile from it and walked to his place, and believe me, these days with my legs, that's not easy. Well I got there and we were talking and it was less than 20 minutes before his *$#m phone started chiming away. A friend was having problems and wanted to "chat". I finally said why don't you just give him a call and I'll leave. And I did. What a waste of time. For all of us. However there's been a time or two I send a text with some quick info with no response needed. I tell people not to respond unless required if it comes from my phone, since I get charged. Don't care if it's while I'm on instant messenger. So it has its place but like most anything, it gets abused and when it's misused, it can be dangerous....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 MoreLars

4 years agolast modified: 4 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.
