desktop icon text cannot be change
Normally when we right click desktop/properties/appearance tag and change the
variuos setting. Somehow, I cannot change these setting. Under the setting tag, advance, there is this TNT2 model 64 tag, how can I disable this function, so that I can the size of the text under the desktop icon. Also the incoming mails, the size of the text is to small to be seen. I also do not know if installation of games does slow down the pc as it seems to be very slow after the young ones install some normal games. the pc is windowsupdated and virus protected by NAV2005. (pc 256 MB Ram) Look forward for some help, thanks |

It is not under Settings tab-Advanced.
The setting on the Appearance tab to change is the item: Icon You will find that also changes some windows text and it probably will alter your email text, though that depends on what email application you use. IF OE, change the text size in IE-View-Text Size. ....Alan -- Alan Edwards, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/index.html In microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion, tim wrote: Normally when we right click desktop/properties/appearance tag and change the variuos setting.

Sori if I did not make myself clearearlier. Thats was the way I used to
change the size/text. However, unknowingly somwething must have changed, now when I try to change it under Appearance/Icon, the function was disabled, so I though it may have something to do with TNT2, How do I get back to the normal way of changing the size/text? thanks "Alan Edwards" wrote: It is not under Settings tab-Advanced.

Troubleshooting Video Problems in Windows "START, Run, MSConfig, Advanced button". If checked, then uncheck "VGA 640x480x16", & reboot. "Control Panel, Display, Settings tab". Select as you wish from the Colors dropdown menu & the Size slider. Really, you should need nothing higher than "High Color (16 bit)", for speed/resource considerations. If you move the Screen Area slider to 1024x768 there, be sure to click the Advanced button, & select Large fonts. Try to get your colors/size at least twice that way. If it continues to fail, you may need to reinstall your Monitor or Display Adapter... For the Monitor... (1) Boot to Safe Mode (Hold F5 as you boot or CTRL for the Startup Menu) (2) "START, Settings, Control Panel, System, Device Manager tab" (3) Open the Monitors branch, & Remove all entries. Perhaps, FIRST, even in Normal Mode, note what is installed similar to below for the Adapter. That is... (a) D-Clk the monitor there for Properties, Driver tab. (b) Click the Update Driver button, then "Next". (c) Bolt "Display a list...", & click "Next". (d) Bolt "Show all hardware". Examine the two panes to see what is currently installed. That is likely what you wish to end up with, after step (4). (4) Boot to Normal Mode. Hopefully, it will be rediscovered & installed. Then, if still necessary, here is the rigmarole of the Display Adapter... .......Quote.......... The first thing to do is to remove the video adapter you have installed. Right-click on the desktop; choose "Properties" from the drop-down menu; select "Settings;" click on the "Advanced" button; and click on "Adapter". An adapter is a program that tells Windows how to deal with a specific video card. Make note of the adapter that is currently installed. Then, change the adapter to "Standard Display Adapter (VGA)" and restart the system. [That is: Click "Change, Next, bolt 'Display a List...', Next, bolt 'Show all hardware', scroll left pane to top, select '(Standard display types)', select 'Standard Display Adapter (VGA)' in right pane, click 'Next'"... PCR] This will remove the current adapter and replace it with a generic VGA adapter that works with all video cards. You will not like VGA because it supports only 16 colors, but the purpose of installing it is to get rid of whatever was there before. Next, return to the adapter screen and install an adapter that matches your video card. This may or may not be the adapter that you are using now. Examine the materials you received with your computer to see if they include a CD-ROM or floppy disk that contains the correct video adapter. Or go to the Gateway website and see if they have an adapter for you to download. Or check the website of the company that made your video card. Bill Starbuck (MVP) .......End....of quote.... Also... ..........Quote................ To identify your video adapter correctly, download and run either the Everest or Aida32 utility, available he http://aumha.org/freeware/freeware.php#everest Once you have identified the display adapter, go to the manufacturer's web site and download the correct driver for you operating system....(such as) Windows 98/98SE. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm .........EOQ.................... -- Thanks or Good Luck, There may be humor in this post, and, Naturally, you will not sue, should things get worse after this, PCR "tim" wrote in message ... | Normally when we right click desktop/properties/appearance tag and change the | variuos setting.
